It was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Musadiq Abid, picked us up at the hotel in his comfortable SUV.

We booked the tour with our 5-year-old daughter, and it was fantastic! The pickup was smooth, the camp beautiful, and the camel ride, food, and fire show were great. We even saw Jupiter and the moon through telescopes. The return was delayed by an hour, but no issue. Highly recommended!

Helpful? Yes

A great trip with camel rides, henna tattoos, shisha, stargazing, and some entertainment during dinner. The only downside was the music during the fire show, which didn't quite fit the setting. The last 2 km to the camp involved a bumpy ride through the dunes—not full dune bashing, but still exciting enough for me.

It was an excellent experience. We visited the camp with two young children and brought our own car seats, which worked perfectly. There was a freezer with complimentary drinks available throughout, and the food was delicious. This camp is ideal for toddlers or babies, as there are quiet, shaded areas where the children can move around freely and burn off some energy. We highly recommend it!

Helpful? Yes

The camp was well-organized, and the sunset was breathtaking! We opted for the 4.5-hour tour, but it was too long, especially in the heat. I recommend choosing a shorter option. The shisha wasn’t great, but the henna, show, and food were enjoyable. Our driver was friendly, though his driving back to the hotel was a bit erratic. Overall, a good experience!

Helpful? Yes

Overall, it was a great experience with good value. The camel rides, sunset, henna tattoos, shisha, food, fire show, and dances were all enjoyable. The stargazing images seemed a bit too perfect, but everything else was nice. A solid 4-star experience.

Helpful? Yes

The guide and the ride were disappointing. He was distracted, drove recklessly, and barely interacted with us. However, the camp was great, with good food and a nice show. The camel ride was too short.

Helpful? Yes

The driver was very knowledgeable about the area, but the tour itself wasn’t well planned. The pick-up from the city and long drive felt unnecessary, especially with so many people from our ship at the camp. The camp was impressive, clean, and beautifully designed. The food was excellent. While it's becoming more commercialized, that’s to be expected. The staff were all very friendly.

Helpful? Yes

The tour itself was great, but unfortunately, our driver was 45 minutes late, causing us to get stuck in heavy traffic. The drive from the Palm to the camp took over two hours, which was far too long. Because of this, we didn't have enough time to fully enjoy the camp and its activities.

Helpful? Yes

The experience itself was enjoyable, but it's important to note that reaching the camp requires driving through the sand dunes, which involves a rough and fast ride. We selected this experience because it was advertised as safe for pregnant women, but we had to ask the driver to slow down. The final stretch of the drive was the same for all guests, including those doing dune bashing, and the drivers were not informed that we didn’t want that. Even when we asked the first driver why we had to switch cars, we didn't receive any clear explanation.

Helpful? Yes

I was a bit let down by this experience. There wasn’t really a tour; we were only shown where the stalls were and told when dinner would be. The shows were underwhelming, with just one performer at a time. The announcements kept being made for the entertainment, but it was just one person spinning with lights on his outfit, followed by a woman flicking her hair, and then a decent fire dancer. The driver had a strong body odor, which was unpleasant during the hour-long drive each way. He even asked for a tip, but my advice to him would be to freshen up first. Overall, it wasn’t great.

Helpful? Yes

The camp itself was great, but our tour guide vanished right at the start, and we didn’t see him again. Instead, a different person ended up taking us back to our accommodation.
