Everything was lovely. Plenty of activity but not too rushed. A gem to see a bit of local culture. If It’s very windy bring warm clothes.

Out of all the activities and experiences we booked this one was by far the best. The staff were lovely and answered any questions we had. All of the animals seem healthy and well looked after. There is a good variety of activities. We had a camel ride then watched the sunset behind the Red Sea mountains. Then we tried bread making and coffee grinding while listening to a local artist playing the oad. Then we enjoyed our 3 course dinner. It was absolutely delicious. After dinner we joined in with some dancing. Then we got to look at the stars and the guide was full of interesting facts and knowledge. They offered fresh dates, fruits, teas, coffee throughout the evening. They take pictures and videos of you while ur enjoying ur activities and they offer you to buy them. We took the picture package for £20. The best part is they don’t try to force you to buy anything and are not pushy for tips. Definitely recommend if you want to learn about Bedouin culture.

Tout est très bien organisé. Un chauffeur vient nous chercher à notre hôtel. Arrivée sur le camp on est complètement pris en charge par un animateur qui nous explique toutes les activités. À l’être on nous offre le café et une datte, puis tour de chameau avec photo, atelier de fabrication de pain et torréfaction de café. Tout le monde est au petit soin. Le repas est très bon sous forme de buffet et l’animation astronomie est exceptionnelle. Un grand merci à tout l’équipe pour cette magnifique soirée

Very unique cultural experience. Customer service is fantastic and the quality of the meal very high. We primarily went for the stargazing and the guide was very passionate and knowledgeable. You get to experience different aspects of Bedouin culture from camel riding to music to making bread to coffee/tea to food. Highly recommend!
