Al Marmoom Oasis Camp with Bedouin Dinner

Before you visit Al Marmoom Oasis Camp with Bedouin Dinner, there are some key considerations that you need to make a note of. These tips will make your Bedouin experience of the Arabian desert hassle-free.

• We recommend that you wear loose, comfortable clothes for the experience at the oasis camp. Also, unlike in the morning, carry an extra layer of clothing for the evening, like a sweatshirt or a light jacket. This is because the desert gets relatively cold at night.
• Although the camp experience is safe for the kids, you must accompany them at all times.
• If possible, try getting a comprehensive travel and health insurance.

• Footwear: Wear closed-toe shoes that are not very tight so as to walk easily on sand and uneven ground.
• Sun protection: The desert sun can be harsh on your skin. This is why it’s important that you bring a hat alongside sunglasses and SPF 50+ sunscreen.
• Camera/Phone: You need a phone with a nice camera or a DSLR to capture the sunset, stars, and camp activities.
• Identification: We cannot emphasise more – always, always carry a valid identity proof. You need identity proof, like a valid passport, for security purposes. If you are a UAE citizen, the Emirates ID will do the job for you.
• Small bag: Keep a small bag so as to carry your essentials such as your phone, water bottle, power bank, and wet wipes.
