    My Dad, My Mentor.

    Two days and 120 km for fathers and their sons, with a quest built in: the Lost Caravan.

    A caravan carrying valuables to the Bedouins was scattered by a powerful sandstorm. With a map and GPS, the children follow its traces, solve riddles and find the checkpoints it left behind. Each point is a new clue, and at the end they find the treasure.

    Quad expedition $1,450 · Buggy expedition $2,840
    Price for two people, father and son. One more child: +$1,000.

    Nikita “Desert Fox” Ardavichus leads the way.

    In his youth he travelled the Liwa Desert with the crews supporting racing teams at the World Cup stages in the UAE. He played a key role in the crew training programme for the Dakar marathon rally and took part in the Desert Experience programme. Today he is a professional motocross rider and an experienced guide instructor: your navigator in the desert.

    The support group

    A security crew follows the whole route. They prepare the resting place, deliver fuel, spare parts, food and drinks, and if needed provide evacuation to the base.
