Best for the dinner, shows, and henna part of the night. "A beautiful evening from start to finish. The desert camp was so welcoming, and the traditional performances (especially the Tanoura dance) were mesmerizing. The BBQ dinner was delicious with plenty of variety. It felt like a true taste of Arabian hospitality. A must-do if you're visiting!"Posted on Google![]()

That's fun but if you have plan or want to go better to go by you're own car or pick up by 4x4 and make group of 7 so you don't have to wait for the bus and by the other passengers then drop to the dropping points, so book VIP so no need to wait for too long for the buffet to open and got not good food taste or better to brought your own food and make sure that you wear or bring jacket for winter so you will not got freezing because of coldPosted on Google![]()

Doesn’t deserve even a single star. We had the worst experience with the desert safari. We were left waiting for two hours after the camp time waiting for the car to drop us back. No proper food. And left us back in the middle of the road. Worst experience.
