Dress and behaviour
Modest, comfortable clothing shows respect. Swimwear belongs at the pool, not at the camp. Keep language and behaviour considerate, particularly around families and during performances.
Photography etiquette
Ask permission before photographing individuals, especially local women. Avoid blocking others’ views at shows and be considerate with flash.
Alcohol and substances
UAE laws on alcohol and drugs are strict. Never bring prohibited items to the camp and follow the rules explained by your operator.
Leave no trace
Take your rubbish with you and respect the desert environment. Do not drive off marked tracks or disturb wildlife. Read safety tips and view packages. If you are unsure about anything, message us.
