From Sunset Thrill to Midnight Chill
The journey started like most safaris — pickup from the hotel, 4x4 dune bashing that made us all laugh and scream, and a short stop for camel rides and sandboarding.
As the sun set, we reached the desert camp. The vibe was electric. People lining up for henna, performers prepping for the show, tables lit with lanterns. We sat down for a full Arabic BBQ dinner — grilled meats, hot bread, salads, sweets.
Then came the live shows:
-
A spinning Tanoura dancer
-
A fire performer who lit up the night
-
A graceful belly dancer swaying under the stars
It was the perfect close… for most people.
But We Stayed
After the crowd left, the camp fell silent. It was just a small group of us left for the overnight safari — and suddenly, it felt like we had the whole desert to ourselves.
We gathered near the campfire, shared stories, and sipped warm tea under a sky bursting with stars.
Our sleeping setup? Simple but cozy — private tents, clean sleeping bags, and the peaceful sound of wind brushing across the sand. No traffic, no phones — just calm.
And in the morning? We woke up to the smell of breakfast, soft sunrise light, and the chance to ride a camel across silent dunes before heading back.
