We had the best time! The camel rides were such a fun experience and the team made us feel really welcome. The bread-making and coffee session was great, the kids especially loved getting involved. Lunch was absolutely delicious, so much food and all of it fresh and tasty. After that we had rhe aungazing session which was brilliant.They were amazing with our boys, so patient and friendly, which made the whole day even more special. Brilliant experience from start to finish highly recommend!

The Bedouin camp program was an incredible and truly unique experience for us. The camp was beautifully designed, combining authentic Bedouin style with modern luxury, and it was spotless throughout. What made the visit especially memorable was the warmth and kindness of the community. They were incredibly welcoming and eager to share their rich traditions and culture, showing genuine pride in preserving their heritage. It was inspiring to witness their dedication to keeping their customs alive and to see how much they enjoy introducing them to visitors. Our time at the camp gave us a meaningful insight into Bedouin life and left us with unforgettable memories. We highly recommend this program to anyone seeking an authentic cultural experience paired with comfort and heartfelt hospitality.

Krásný zážitek s nahlédnutím do života beduínů. Projížďka na velbloudu v dunách. Čtyřchodové menu bylo úžasné. Na závěr živý tanec s krásnou egyptskou hudbou a sledování západu slunce. Všem doporučuji.
