    A works outing to a restaurant can be a great way for colleagues to bond and socialize outside of the workplace. However, why not take it a step further and plan a desert safari adventure for your team? This unique experience will not only allow your
    team to enjoy a delicious meal in a stunning desert setting, but also to participate in thrilling activities such as dune buggy https://desertbookings.com/dune-buggy-riding-dubai/,dune bashing, camel riding, and quad biking .

    A desert safari outing can be an excellent team-building opportunity, as it encourages communication, cooperation, and trust among team members. The shared experience of navigating through the rugged terrain of the desert and participating in exciting
    activities can create a sense of camaraderie and unity among your team.

    The idiot spammer is replying to a message over 3 years old so I
    wouldn't think he's endowed with an overabundance of sense,
    geographical or common.

    As far as your question goes: Milton Keynes, perhaps? Or Luton? I am particularly fond of Staines but I know loads of others are not. :)

    I was being a little disrespectful and mildly sarcastic by including
    those sites in the list of "deserts" in UKland. While biologically and culturally the term may be stretched to apply, they do have their good
    points.

    One being that they ain't London.
