The camel safari trip is well organised and the camel owners are well aware of the changing temperament of the dunes. Tourists can be assured of enjoying the magic of dunes completely in the company of these guides. The dunes are <span class="style13">best visited during the months of October to February</span> when the heat is relatively less in the region. Evenings and night are the best time to visit the dunes because at this time the silver rays of moon spread its radiance in the entire region thereby making it glow like an ornament. Adding to the magical charm of the atmosphere are the <span class="style13">wonderful folk dance and music performance by the local artists</span>. Overnight camping in the dunes are also possible.
