“Serious safety concerns, lack of hosting and non-transparent pricing”
Serious safety concerns, lack of hosting and non-transparent pricing Review text: We deliberately chose a simple camp, as we were looking for an authentic experience. Unfortunately, even the most basic expectations – especially regarding safety, communication and transparency – were not met. Before arrival, two emails sent via Booking.com remained unanswered. On site, we were the only guests in the camp. There was no host or responsible person present. Only two staff members were on site who spoke very little English, making communication extremely difficult. We were not even sure whether anyone would stay overnight. As two women travelling alone, we did not feel safe. In addition, there was no emergency contact number or way to reach a responsible host. Several services were charged differently than communicated in advance. Dinner was billed at a significantly higher price than stated in the email before arrival. A short dune drive was explicitly offered at check-in as “included”, but was charged the next day. At departure, a very uncomfortable situation arose regarding the bill, with pressure being applied via a phone call, as the staff on site could not communicate with us. We eventually paid the amount not because we agreed, but because we felt pressured and wanted to leave the situation safely. Conclusion: Simple can be simple – but not unsafe, intransparent or intimidating. We cannot recommend this camp, especially for women travelling alone.

“In the amount we paid for stay- it was good experience”
1) Super clean tent and bed sheets 2) good communication with Host 3) It was just two couples in the whole property so we got the peaceful experience which we wanted.

“Beautiful and comfy stay in the middle of desert (but with food and activities not a budget one)”
The accomodation by itself is soo beautiful, you stay in the middle of desert, tents are nice, clean and bed are comfortable, there is a common chilling place with tea, coffee and fruits. You have your private bathroom (very simple, but I mean, you ar in the desert!). There are camels around. We used a pickup service and then we rent quads, which was amazing and quite adrenalin experience. We also have dinner and breakfast there. The dinner was huge, there was a lot of chicken and goat meat rice, vegetable, hummus, fries and bread. Breakfast was more simple, egg omellete and toasts, but enough.

“Desert night at its best”
Excellent place, excellent stay, excellent adventure. I was a little bit afraid of advertised private toilet and bathroom in the desert, but i was pleasantly surprised. The solution is nice, safe, private and still adventurous :)

A beautiful place in the heart of the desert, offering a peaceful and cozy atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and attentive, ensuring that our breakfast and dinner were perfectly arranged as requested. The linens and towels were spotless, and having a private bathroom in such a remote location was a fantastic convenience. A truly special and relaxing experience!

Location, is a short way into the desert, in view of several other tourist camps. Once there the tent/bed was excellent.

“Great place to spend night in desert !”
Place is very beautiful and clean , bed is very comfortable. The owner is very friendly and helpful. And camel riding is something special ! I highly recommend to take activities they offer and dinner , it’s tasty . I loved the stay ! It’s desert , so at night can be a little chilly so it’s good to take with you some warm clothes at winter .

“Solo female travelers, don't go!”
The place is really confortable and well arranged. The employees are nice and great cooks, but the owner...it is an other matter.

“I recommend trying the activities at the beautiful camp”
A beautiful camp with a view of the sunset, tranquility, dinner, breakfast, camel and quad bike riding, a safari trip, one of the most beautiful arrangements in this camp. The price is cheap and accessible to everyone. I recommend this camp and the experience of the activities is exceptional.
