I came by myself, so I got personal guide for horseback riding through the desert and in the sea. Total it was I think 2 hour trip. And guide made for me a lot of photos. After we got back there was a really delicious lunch. And then they drive me to parasailing adventure. It was so cool, I think not 15 minutes but enough to enjoy sea view and sun from the up. So impressed. And then guide waited for me and drove back to the hotel. Thanks all the crew for amazing day and unforgottable feelings
