Unforgettable Desert Adventure! Authentic Bedouin Experience under the stars! - I had an amazing time! I really enjoyed my time hanging out in nature. I dont have many opportunities to go to the desert often, so this was special. I was able to see many shooting stars when we were star gazing, it was really a magical experience. The food is delicious and I met a lot of really cool people! This is the best camp in Saudi! I highly recommend going! It's a must see if you live here or are just visiting!
