## The atmosphere

String lights, rugs and low cushions create a relaxed, welcoming feel. Music plays, smoke from the grill drifts across the camp and the sky darkens above you. It is lively but not rushed.

## Practical details

- Sand is everywhere, so wear shoes you can shake out
- Toilets are basic but available
- Keep valuables with you rather than in the vehicle

## Standard camp vs VIP camp

A standard camp is social and busy with shared seating. A VIP camp offers a more refined setting. Compare both in our [VIP safari guide](https://abudhabideserttrips.site/vip-desert-safari-abu-dhabi/).

## Enjoy it fully

Join in the activities, try the food, watch the shows and take your time.
