🐪 Camel Ride

  • The camel ride from our camp to the sunset vantage point takes about 45mins there and 45mins back with a stop on a high dune to enjoy the sunset.
  • The ride is fully adjustable: please advise us before you set off if you would like to make a shorter trek.
  • What to bring: scarf/hat, sunglasses, water, sunblock, and appropriate clothing for the season.

Camel Ride Conditions

  • Must be reserved in advance and confirmed at least one day before arrival.
  • Once confirmed, camels and guides are booked and paid for. If guests arrive late and miss the ride, we are unable to refund.
  • Only one person per camel (unless it is a child aged 1 to 5, in which case parent and child ride together)

Check-Out & Transfers

  • After sunrise, guests enjoy a shower and breakfast at camp.
  • 4WD transfers back to town start around 9:00 AM, with each trip taking 1.5–2.0 hours.
  • Latest check-out: 11:00 AM, as preparing the camp for new arrivals requires complex logistics compared to a normal hotel.

🌱 Eco-Friendly Camp Guidelines

At Ahlan Camp, we are committed to preserving the desert environment. We kindly ask for your cooperation to help us maintain our sustainable practices:

  • Energy: Electricity comes from solar panels and batteries. Please switch off lights and devices when not in use to help conserve energy.
  • Sockets: In our dining area, European Type C & E sockets are available for phones, cameras and laptops.. ⚠️ In your tent there are no sockets and therefore it is not possible to use high-power devices such as hair dryers or water heaters.
  • Water: Water is precious in the desert. Please use it sparingly whenever possible.
  • Toilets: Please do not flush toilet paper. Use the bin provided.
  • Doors: Tent doors should always be closed and locked. This helps keep insects out and prevents sand from entering your tent.
  • Shoes: For hygiene, please leave your shoes on the small carpet at the entrance of your tent.
  • Toiletries: All shampoo, shower gel, and soap provided are eco-friendly and biodegradable.


Ahlan Camp reserves the right to adjust logistics when necessary, based on our local expertise, real-time conditions, and commitment to your safety and comfort — especially in the event of emergencies or weather-related disruptions.
