Tips

Eat light before the dune drive, as covered in motion sickness tips.

What a typical buffet looks like

Expect grilled chicken, lamb or beef kebabs, rice dishes, salads, hummus, bread and a few sweets. Vegetarian guests can usually enjoy grilled vegetables, rice, salads and side dishes. Menus change with the camp and the season, so treat this as a guide, not a promise of specific dishes.

Drinks

Unlimited soft drinks, tea, coffee and water are included with our packages. Arabic coffee and sweet tea are a good way to try something local.

Special diets

Allergies, gluten sensitivity, vegan preferences and religious dietary needs should be raised when you book. Camps can often prepare for them if they know in advance.

Eating with kids

The buffet suits most children, with milder dishes available. Keep them seated near the fire show and bring wet wipes. See our family guide for more tips, and review the package inclusions or message us about dietary needs.
