Just you and the midnight sky!
A carpet of endless stars...
Making your desert dream into a story for life.
The tranquility and desert calm are a sensation to be enjoyed. We thrill you in the afternoon with the dune drive and then host you for the evening and during the night. We will serve you an incredible BBQ Dinner, then light the campfire and let you enjoy the evening.
The sunrise in the morning is worth the early start and the hot tea followed by cooked breakfast really are the best ways to start the day.
This comes highly recommended and our guests come back again and again.

Our best Christmas ever.
Thanks to Mary, Shukur and the team at Destination Insight we've just had the best Christmas ever! They set up the most beautiful campsite we've ever stayed at, and took care of everything. The spot we stayed in was just what we were looking for - remote, quiet, great dunes and not too far from Dubai. The tents were great, and the sleeping bags kept us very warm. The lights at night around the tents and seating areas were beautiful. We can't wait to do it again. Thanks so much Destination Insights for a night we'll never forget.

Remote camping with our amazing guide Baiju
If you want to make wonderful memories this is the trip for you.
We booked the day trip with remote overnight camping which was amazing waking up at 5am to see the sunrise over the dunes.
My daughter was struggling with heat stroke but our guide Baiju who was wonderful looked after us and never left our side. We also received a call from Mary in the UK to see if we were ok. It can be scary in a foreign country when you’re unwell but these guys couldn’t have done more to make us feel safe.
The remote camping was incredible, we were greeted by a campfire, marshmallows and drinks. We got up at 5am and Baiju who we nick named Mr B was there taking photos and once again looking after us.
The team made us breakfast in the teepee before heading home.
I can’t thank Mr B and Mary enough for looking after us to make wonderful memories and experiences we will never forget. Xx

One Very Memorable Overnight in the Desert
We did dune bashing, sand surfing (the kids 9 and 11 yo) were great, I was terrible; BBQ and private camping.
The camping experience was so calm and a perfect end to our full day and Our time in UAE.
Would definitely recommend for families, but I could see the appeal for friend groups and couples as well!
Thank you
