It was good

A wonderful oasis right in the middle of the desert

Beautiful place in a great location, with a huge red dune behind you. The sunsets are gorgeous. I was the only visitor when I was there, as it is still low-season - so I was expecting a reduced experience but They complimentary upgraded my room to their best tent, which was amazing! And then they complimentary took me dune bashing as well… The staff member in the dining area kept me company while I ate, and they provided so much food for me. Super relaxing place. Be aware that they now take only card for the activities so no need to bring cash! I did the Bedouin visit (paid for) and dune bashing (complimentary). The driver was great and offered lots of information for me as we drove. However I would skip the Bedouin visit as the women sits on her mobile phone watching videos and arguing with her daughter, the entire time after she has tried to sell you things. Her and her family did not really want to spend time here - which is ok, but better to cancel the trip than go for no reason - it does not feel very authentic unfortunately. I will definitely visit this camp again. Thank you team!!

It's incredible that there are accommodations that are as clean and comfortable out in the middle of the desert. The ride getting their is fun in itself. The staff were exceptionally kind. They should invest in a good telescope. There isn't much to do at night, but training a telescope on a few planets would be fun for both kids and adults.
