Overall it was fine, camp was cleans and food was nice but there were large gaps from arrival at the camp to actually food/ show timings. There was no time to sit and smoke shisha and walk around after food as shows were ongoing and as soon as shows ended it was time to leave, felt rushed at the end with a lot of time wasted at the beginning.

Experience Traditional Bedouin Culture

There is no dearth of activities to take part in at the traditional Bedouin-style desert camp in the Dubai desert. After you are transported to the desert camp in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle from your hotel, you will get the opportunity to go on a thrilling SUV ride. Before boarding your SUV, taste a few authentic Arabian sweets such as Gahwa and sip on Arabic coffee. Then, skim over the massive sand dunes and experience the desert like you never have before in an all-terrain vehicle. This is also an excellent time to take a few pictures of your group in the desert. Head back to camp and relax with a luxurious sheesha pipe. Alternatively, you could choose to partake in Henna painting and other intriguing camp activities. Spend some time clicking photographs of your loved ones dressed in traditional Arabian Dishdashas and Abayas.

Enjoy a Palatable Dinner with a Fire Show

Shortly after an exciting camel ride through the desert, you will be back in the camp to witness an awe-inspiring Fire Show and Tanoura Dance. Enjoy a mesmerizing Belly Dance show before taking a stroll around camp and exploring the live bar. Known for its fresh fruits and hot grills, the buffet is a particularly sought after part of this tour. Take one last look around Masyaf Camp before heading back to your hotel.
