Nothing can prepare you for this. We had the luck to be the only guests on the camp and it was great! We booked the buggy drive, which was the best experience for us and the dinner which was fabulous and really tasty. Stargazing was so cool! The camp is clean, and nicely decorated, the bonfire made it perfect. It is not completely silent like we used to have it in Oman on our first desert night, since there is a generator constantly making noise. This was a pity. The desert deserves to be enjoyed in silence. Sunset viewing was cool, we also visited the fossil hill.
My airbed was broken and I slept on the hard floor, this should not have happened at all. When the staff prepares the tents, they should test, if the airbeds are ok! This was very annoying.
The thing that we really did not like was, that we booked the dinner for 4 adults, since our kids were 12 and 15 and it was so much food, we could not eat it at all. I don't know, if the Arabic families eat that much or even care, but for us it was so bad to see, that our food was wasted and thrown away. When booking the dinner, we could not book for kids portions other than silly kids meals, and it was not clear, that we could book less portions. The center should do something about this. it is not right, to throw perfect food into the trash. Maybe tell people better, what to expect and that it is ok to book less portions.
