    Nice desert resort

    Nice resort in the desert, 4G signal. Very good dinner, as well as breakfast. We drove to the resort in a rented 4WD car, no problems. In the office they gave us a map of how to get to the road to the desert. The road through the desert was also a beautiful experience, the dunes are very nice. Along the way we saw grazing camels.

    The camp is located in the desert, it was amazing. I was able to walk 15 mins over a dune to be in the middle of the desert while being close enough to camp. I was able to do that walk for sunset, sunrise and in the middle of the night to do some stargazing. Dinner and breakfast were buffets, so you won't go hungry at all. The facilities for very comfortable and also very clean.

    They're offering camel rides and tie the camels front legs so they don't go far while no one's riding them. :(

    Beautiful camp with super friendly staff and a good price including delicious breakfast and dinner. Nice variety, also for vegetarians. We booked the driver as we didn't have a 4x4 car and the price was absolutely fair. After a super fun drive to the camp with a little dune bashing the driver took as on some dunes to see the sunset.

    Nothing to complain.

    The host was super nice and welcoming. The cabins are cute and clean. It is not a small camp but there were very rare guests at the time we've been there. From the duins right next to the camp you have a nice view for sunset and sunrise. At nighttimes you can see lots of stars even from inside the camp. You can walk a bit outside to get a better view. To get to the camp you have to have a 4x4 since it is quite far into the desert. It is a 18 km offroad drive but duable with the right car. Checkin-in is at an office in the city close by. You can pay by card. They give you the coordinates of the location where you have to enter the desert. From there you just go straight on the sandy path. Navigating is simple and in the camp you have service again. Dinner and breakfast is nice (buffet). There are enough vegetarian and vegan options.

    Everything was lovely given how remote the camp is. Rooms were large and clean. Food was fine - enjoyed the shawarma the most

    The food was okish. Requires some betterment in that part. Also they didn’t arrange the camp fire possibility because of low capacity however the camp fire experience would have been great in the desert

    The property is ideally located for an experience in desert camp far away from any hustle and bustle. The property also has a small cafe for the coffee lovers. The unit also holds air conditioning and hot water availability. The service from the staff was also good

    The tents provide all the essentials, offering the option to select either a room or tent. Our family of four stayed in a tent, creating wonderful memories. Optimal experiences include visiting during a full moon, where strolling on the moonlit sands becomes a captivating adventure. The camp's staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, diligently ensuring our comfort. Despite not feeling well one night, they consistently checked in to assist. Special thanks goes to Farhad and Khalek, who went above and beyond, making our stay enjoyable. They truly enhance the camp's appeal and I look forward to returning in the future.

    The light inside the bathroom was dim not sufficient in the night, the “cracking” voice of the mattress when we turn over was annoying.

    The location far into the desert, the renovation of rooms , the cooperation of staff, the cleanliness of rooms, food was delicious.
