Traditional desert camp in the dunes. - We had a fantastic time at this traditional camp! The hosts were incredible, the food was delightful, and there were plenty of interesting cultural details to absorb. The dunes looked particularly stunning during sunset. Highly recommend

Amazing visit to the desert! - We had a wonderful time at this desert camp experience, we arrived just before sunset which was absolutely beautiful on the dunes, while the camp itself is huge, and exquisitely decorated. We loved exploring the camp and seeing all the traditional Bedouin items and learning about the way of life of the desert people. We LOVED making the fire bread, it was so delicious with the ghee, and the mandi was amazing! Such a cool experience we recommend everyone coming through Riyadh visits this place, you won't regret it
