Harish was a wonderful tour guide and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was warm, friendly, and thoughtful. He picked me up at the airport, brought me into the old fort for soda and tea, then took me on a brief tour of the old city before we departed for the desert. He was also very upfront with me about getting a commission on products sold at the places he took me to - the only tour guide to be this candid!
I do have some feedback about the campsite part of the experience, which was not what I expected. I was imagining isolated, see the stars at night like I did in morocco. That was not the case. There was a performing arts stage in the middle with song and dance throughout the evening - which made it a little noisy for my taste
Harish stayed with me for awhile after checking me in, the food was quite good, and the amenities of the glamping tents were very comfortable. Although there was a gaping hole in the wall next to the air conditioning unit which made it easy for mosquitoes and bugs to get in. Harish also got me a quick camel tour but the experience was not fun as other tourists (mostly Indian folks) were driven around on ATV's and pick up trucks, hooting and hollering at driving up and down the dunes at high speed.
