Comfort in the desert, the camp consists of hard bungalows in the middle of the dunes, about 30 km from Bidiyah. 4x4 required to get there, not being used to this type of driving we took the escort service to get there, on the way there a driver took the wheel, on the way back I drove following the escort, with deflated tires not very difficult, but at a certain point the track winds between the dunes I was happy to have the escort to guide me. The room is large, the decor is rather rustic for my taste. Friendly and helpful staff. Correct catering, alcoholic drinks available. Swimming pool, very hot water but lack of maintenance during our stay, the water was cloudy but it was caught up later Activities and excursions offered at a high price I find. We paid 50 Riyal to see the sunset at the top of a dune, below which a generator disturbed the magic of the place for a while. Then our driver dropped us off at a Bedouin camp without accompanying us to try to communicate a little with them, we stayed 10 minutes and returned to the camp. Not interesting and very expensive. I recommend if you are in shape to climb a dune near the camp to see the sunset or to go there in a 4x4 if you are used to this type of driving Nevertheless, good memory of this time spent in the desert
