After freshening up, enjoy a traditional Arabian buffet dinner under the open sky. Spend the evening by the bonfire or strolling beneath millions of stars. Wake early for a magical sunrise over untouched dunes, followed by a hearty breakfast before your return journey. Later, savor a delicious Arabian buffet dinner under the stars. After dinner, spend your evening either gathered around a cozy bonfire or taking a peaceful walk beneath the vast desert sky around the camp, soaking in the tranquil atmosphere.
