Good view, Great service with Wonderful memories - Absolutely incredible services. All staffs were super friendly and professional. They waited for us fully enough to take bunch of photos and also took of us as well. The environment of the camp was well organized (Especially for the very clean and greatly maintained toilets with A/Cs). I would definitely come back with my family and friends again. Thank you for great time and good memory.

Sunset Serenity: An Unmissable Desert Oasis 1 hour from Dubai - Hey fellow adventurers! I've just returned from an unexpected treat at the Sunset Lounge by Mleiha Archaeological Centre. I'm fresh with excitement, so here's the lowdown for anyone curious: The journey from Dubai was pretty simple – about an hour's drive. But be wary, there's this gravelly patch nearing the place, not a huge deal but better to know. It almost made me question, "Is this the right way?", but soon enough, there was the site, awaiting our arrival just as the sun began its descent. I booked this on a whim, which was quite the escapade. Their site said "no availability", but a quick call sorted it out. Super thankful for that accommodating chat. And for 90 AED per adult (kids were on the house), it was a steal, considering we were the only ones there! Purely VIP vibes. Now, if you're imagining a quiet desert sunset, you're half right. First surprise – a camel ride from the gate! My family and I were ecstatic, more so because it was unexpected. The staff? Oh, they treated us like royalty. From the way they greeted us, I half expected them to roll out a red carpet. Night fell, and then came the real magic. An astronomer with his high-tech telescope gave us a tour of the sky. First time I've ever peeked at planets through one of those, and boy, was it enlightening! The campsite was decked out in lights with a cozy feel, drinks on standby, and enough space for a sizable gathering. Major plus? Spotless AC-equipped toilets in the middle of the desert. Talk about luxury! Now, while I’m pouring my heart out praising the place, my head tells me to be honest about the little gravelly patch and the last-minute booking drama. But, that’s just being nitpicky. All in all? I urge you to experience this desert oasis for yourself. It’s the perfect setting to unwind, and offers something for everyone – from camels to constellations. My fam's already talking about a next visit.

Archeological discoveries in the desert - We visited the Mleiha archeological center about 80 kms from Dubai downtown and discovered a World of science and history near the desert. Interesting sights of archeological discoveries from different ages, from the Paleolitic to the Preislamic, with professional guides plus a fun offroad through the nesrby dunes in 4x4 SUV and a romantic dinner under the desert moon. Just an amazing half evening.

Dream proposal - I was looking for a place to propose to my girlfriend. I called them and they advised me of all the options. Set up was done as per my references, rose petals were added, but they added a nice touch of heart covered in petals on the sand, a nice lounge area, table, and bonfire set up. By the evening, they lit up all fireplaces, we had to stargaze with an informative guide. Nice food, and all facilities provided. It felt like you were totally out of this world and no one can reach you, yet everyone was just a call away for your needs. And with all this setup, my girlfriend said yes and we enjoyed the rest of the evening. fantastic experience. definitely perfect for families and couples to escape the Dubai rush.

Torch lit dinner under the stars - This was a really nice experience after doing the dune buggying earlier that afternoon. Torch lit dinner in the desert with the stars above and plentiful food. I would highly recommend this experience.

Relaxing evening with amazing food in a stunning location. - I brought a school trip of 30 fifteen year old students to this activity. Everything was amazing! All loved the food (the vegan/vegetarian options are excellent) and the location and set up is perfect. We were wonderfully looked after by all the staff there and were made welcome and relaxed at all times. Highly recommended for small and large groups.
