Description

Embark on a desert adventure on the Al-Manjour Trail. Hike through the desert, photograph horses and camels, enjoy a BBQ, try archery, and stargaze. Start your trip with a hike through the Al-Manjour Trail. As the sun set over the vast landscape, the adventure kicks off with an exhilarating hiking expedition along the Al-Manjour Trail. This scenic route winds through rugged terrain, sandy paths, and breathtaking rock formations, offering hikers a chance to witness the beauty of the desert up close. The trail presents a mix of easy and challenging paths, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced hikers. Along the way, the silence of the desert is broken only by the sound of footsteps on the sand and the occasional call of a distant bird. The golden hues of the desert, combined with the soft breeze, create a tranquil atmosphere that allows hikers to connect deeply with nature. Whether walking at a steady pace or pausing to take in the panoramic views, every moment on this trail is an opportunity to appreciate the simplicity and grandeur of the natural world. One of the highlights of this trip is the opportunity to photograph majestic horses and camels against the stunning desert backdrop. These noble animals, symbolic of strength and endurance, roam gracefully across the dunes, offering perfect moments for photographers to capture. As the sun casts long shadows across the sand, participants can interact with the animals, getting close enough to capture their expressions, movements, and unique characteristics. Whether it’s a camel’s silhouette against the setting sun or a horse galloping across the golden dunes, every shot tells a story of life in the desert. For those who enjoy portrait photography, this is a chance to experiment with light, composition, and motion, creating striking images that reflect the spirit of the desert. As the winds down, the group gathers around a crackling campfire for a traditional BBQ feast. The rich aroma of grilled meat fills the air as skewers of marinated lamb, chicken, and vegetables sizzle over the flames. The warmth of the fire, combined with laughter and conversation, creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes the evening even more special. Sitting on traditional cushions, participants enjoy a delicious meal while sharing stories about the day’s adventures. The simplicity of dining under the stars, surrounded by nature, enhances the overall experience, making every bite taste even better. For those seeking a touch of thrill, fire-lit archery adds an exciting challenge to the evening. Under the guidance of skilled instructors, participants get the chance to test their aim, shooting arrows at targets illuminated by the flickering flames. Some take this opportunity to capture the night sky through long-exposure photography, while others simply enjoy the beauty of the moment, feeling small yet connected to something much greater.
