“What a memorable experience! Starting off in the morning fog, we drive along the beach eventually reaching a narrow strip in between the massive desert dunes and the sea. We saw jackals loping along the beach! Some super fun driving in the dunes by our guide Marius who was so friendly and knowledgeable. And to top it off a delicious lunch from Abby’s Catering in the middle of the dunes, no one else around. Thanks so much Marius and Abby!”
