A dramatic desert trip

🔥Full-fledged tourist experience. Today, I will tell you about the most painful experience on this trip. Dubai has made me a class. 😭We organized a desert tour with the locals. 🌟There were 8 of us on this tour, which cost 1,400 per person. The package said it included ATV driving, Sand Board, camel riding, henna painting (for women only), desert car ride, dinner buffet, belly dancing show, fire baton twirling. 🔮The driver was half an hour late when we arrived, but it was a good thing for us because we wanted to go somewhere cooler. It was very hot outside. The driver couldn't speak English. When asked if there was a guide, he said No No No and the entertainment started. 🚗We drove out of the city for about 40 minutes. He dropped us off at a place called Dune Buggy Safari. He said he would leave us there for 30 minutes. The people there translated it for us. Everything here, such as ATV, taking pictures with eagles, and camel riding, cost money. We told the people there to translate for us that if it wasn't included in the package, we could go to the place that was included because it was very hot at that time. I couldn't stand there anymore. She dragged me out for half an hour before she took me out. 🪶We drove for another 15 minutes and she let us get off at the souvenir shop. I was about to turn around and ask her, but she said "Toilet". I said okay and went to the bathroom. But before we could get through the checkpoint, people kept coming in to offer things. It was really hard to get to the bathroom. 🎀We got in the car and drove for another 20 minutes. We stopped at the foot of the desert and waited to change cars to go up to the camp. The disappointment and heat came crashing down. I think the temperature in my head was much hotter than the weather. 🙏When we changed cars to go through the desert, I have to say that this was really fun. The driver drove recklessly and quickly took us through the sand dune curves. This is included in the package because if we didn't take this, we couldn't go up. 😘We arrived at the camp feeling cheerful. The sun was setting and the wind had died down. The weather was nice and comfortable. We were greeted by someone offering to wrap our heads with a cloth. They offered to wrap it for us. We said no, no, no, no. She scolded us that it was the culture here. We said no. But the rest of the tourists didn't make it. They were charged 25 AED for a cloth. Some of them were charged 15 AED for just wrapping their own cloth into a hat. Then someone said they would take pictures for them, not for themselves. This was really hot. I told her why I couldn't take pictures because I had a camera. She said this was her place. I was going to fight her. Then another person pulled me to take a picture with a horse. She said it was included in the package. But they knew what I was thinking just by looking at me. They definitely charged me. And the point is, when I arrived in Dubai, why did I have to take a picture with a horse? 🔥 So I told her, no, I don't want to take a picture with a horse. How much is the camel ride? She said the camel was included in the package, but she didn't ride it, she just took a picture. The economy is bad these days. Not many people ride camels. Please help me. So I asked how much it was. 60 AED per person. Wow, that's too much. You don't even ride for 5 minutes. So I told her, "I can't do it." Then, after 60 AED, she reduced it to 15 AED. It's unbelievably cheap. She said she would provide free photo services. (Later, I printed the pictures and they charged me 50 AED per picture. What!!) Then I saw people riding camels from the time I went until I returned. The camels didn't rest at all. Oh my god, you don't have anyone to ride them. I feel so sorry for the camels. 😂When I went inside, there were people telling me where everything was: water booths, food booths, henna booths, ice cream booths. But anyway, they offered me a VIP room. The conversation started with, "Today, there are a lot of people, more than 400 people. Are you interested in a VIP room? It has air conditioning and you don't have to walk around to get your own food. There are people serving you. You can eat before anyone else. It's very special. You don't have to squeeze with 400 people (actually, there were more than a hundred people. It wasn't squeezed at all, my goodness.") 😔At first, they charged me 150 AED per person. It was so brutal. So I said that there were 2 people who were sick, so it would be better to sit outside. She said 300 AED for 8 people. Okay, it's acceptable. 😅When I went into the VIP room, the air conditioning was tilted so it would fall down. The glass is very blurry, the show outside is blurry, and the 2nd floor where people walk with a shaky voice, I'm afraid it will collapse. 🤩 After a while, a staff will come in and ask, bring mineral drinks and plain water (if you miss soda, I'll tell you later). 🤭 And after this, there will be people coming to you like relatives continuously. - Soda She will come in and ask, what do you want? Tell me, cola, red water, any water. I'm a smart person, ask first, do you want to charge? She smiled faintly, as if she caught her. She replied, "Yes," and that's it. - Ice cream, what flavors do you want? Another one came in. I asked the same question, do you want to charge? Yes, but I want to eat this. I spent 8AED. And then followed by Shisha, similar to Baraku, popcorn, taking pictures, cigarettes, sand bottles, etc., a lot of people came in and charged for everything. And the same old ones kept coming back. You will definitely not be lonely. 💕 What's good about VIP? I have to say that They really do it. Water, food, dessert, bring it in before the food line outside opens. You can ask for more. Someone will bring it to you. The food is not bad. There is naan, spaghetti, chicken curry, beans, vegetable salad. The dessert is sticky rice with sweet sticky rice. The best thing is the hot milk tea. Their milk is really rich and delicious. The air conditioner is also bitterly cold. 👌 Normal henna painting, no extra charge. Adding diamonds costs another 10 AED. 💛 The show is considered good. But coming one person at a time is not that spectacular. But it is still fun. 😆 In conclusion, it is a bit of an awkward trip. If it is 1400 and you tell me what is not included, it would be better. Or you can add it, no problem. I don't like not telling and then charging like this. It is very annoying. I think no one wants to be cheated. I will prepare more cash. But if I knew in advance and prepared myself, I might not be this disappointed. 🥰 If anyone has had this kind of experience, please tell me. #Mimlikesthis #Mimlikesthis #NatureAttractions
