Guest Reviews
Guest Tips & Highlights
The camp offers high-end hotel services, resembling the famous Mars movies, and simulating the Bedouin life, customs, and traditions. Iyad answered all our inquiries and questions, and was very helpful and kind. We took a six-hour jeep ride in the desert, had lunch in the desert, and saw the archaeological sites, colored sands, and famous movie filming locations. We also took an evening stargazing trip, which was amazing. The food is very delicious, and it is their special food called "Zarb", which is delicious and unforgettable. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with a great view, and the internet is excellent throughout the camp. Thank you for everything.
We had an extraordinary experience at this camp and absolutely loved everything—from the accommodation to the 6-hour jeep tour and the option to stargaze in the desert alongside the Bedouins. Many thanks to our driver, Moiet, who was exceptional, a great driver and a very talented photographer. We highly recommend this experience and will definitely return.
