“An unforgettable day. We saw so much. A visit to a nomadic family in their yurt. There we drank tea and milk and ate home-baked cookies. We rode on 2 beautiful camels, accompanied by the head of the nomad family. During the 45-minute ride into the steppe and the dunes, he took lots of impressive photos of us. Later we hiked on the dunes of the Semi-Gobi. Our guide was excellent. He drove us safely and very well. The drive through the Mongolian steppe was a great experience. Highly recommended and we would do it again any time.”
