Is it right for your family?
There's quite a bit of travelling, but the itinerary is packed with interest and there are only two long driving days. Because of this it is more suited to children over seven. Accommodation is in comfortable hotels plus one night in the desert in a simple, but comfortable, Bedouin-style camp.
