I had the best time ever , this is the best camping experience in the whole Dubai. There was so much abundance as the food was soooo good and so much I thought I would explode in eating… camels well treated which made me happy as I think animals matter a lot to me and how they look is important for me to feel comfortable knowing my money is going to benefit them as well… ( they had a few healed scars ) but in general they were very well looked after , shabby, good hair and fur looking , clean … babies camels was treated like a queen/ king ! Everyone who worked in this camping looked happy to be there . I have been in another camping while I was here and it wasn’t like this at all , camels tight in the legs and head , people unhappy working ,bad food …this one is extremely good ! Worth every penny , thank you to my guide Imran and others workers who made this trip so fun !
The dessert drive was to short. It was a bit too compact with all the activities, but all the activities were brilliant. Our guide at the camp was amazing, helpful, very nice he sat with us from the evening until the morning hours and we chatted about everything he made our stay at the camp perfect, and the early camel riding to see the sun rise was so beautiful as a movie can do after that we served a splendid breakfast outdoors, amazing, thank you Regards Karl and Solvita…..

Full description
Start with pickup from your accommodation in Dubai and head to the Lahbab desert in a comfortable 4WD vehicle. Once in the desert, you will have some free time before your safari starts. Relax or opt to go for a quad-bike ride while your vehicle for the off-road dune drive is prepared.
Then, embark on a thrilling 45-minute dune-bashing ride. Feel the adrenaline rush as your vehicle conquers the vast desert sands. Afterward, you can try sandboarding and glide down the dunes.
Travel to the Al Khayma camp where you will be led to your own air-conditioned tent. After settling in here, taste some Gahwa (Arabic coffee), Gaymat (sweets), and dates. Head out for a camel ride around the camp premises, and depending on the time, enjoy the sunset over the desert.
Back at Al Khayma Camp, enjoy some time for smoking shisha and henna painting. Don local Arabian clothes and pose for photos with a majestic falcon.
Enjoy a lavish barbecue buffet dinner with live entertainment. When the camp lights are turned off, feel the essence and serenity of the desert while stargazing with a telescope.
Later, ride a camel to a nearby camp where a fire will be arranged for you. Learn how to make Arabic coffee or tea as you relax in the night sitting by the campfire, enjoying the silence of the desert and the dark sky above, before heading back to your tent for the night.
Rise early in the morning to catch the spectacular sunrise over the desert on a short camel ride. Afterward, return to the camp for a freshly prepared Arabian breakfast, before heading back to Dubai with drop-off at your accommodation.
