    This day gives you choices depending on what you feel like doing. There's an optional desert safari available with 4X4 dune rides, camel riding at a local farm, and sandboarding, plus complimentary soft drinks throughout.

    The trip was absolutely incredible. First of all thanks to Terry who was an incredible guide - super knowledgeable, brilliantly friendly and always going above and beyond. The trip around Japan was fantastic. Every day we packed in multiple brilliant activities but we’re also given time to spend as our own family at our own pace and do what we wanted. Terry had amazing suggestions for these periods! Also lucky to have such an amazing group and meet some lovely people.
