Highlights

  • Hotel pickup includes a stop at a working Emirati camel farm en route, a breeding and racing operation, not a tourist pen at the camp.
  • A dedicated sunset photo stop is timed into the route, your driver pauses at a high dune crest during golden hour before reaching camp.
  • Camel rides at camp can be repeated (recommended age 12-50), unlike most evening safaris, where a single circuit is standard.
  • Henna painting, shisha, a falcon display, and a traditional dance show are all included alongside the open BBQ buffet with vegetarian options.
  • Quad biking is available at camp as an optional add-on; and opt for a private safari for transfers and dune bashing just for your group.
