Near the entrance and main camping zones, it feels lively and active — well-developed, organized, and surprisingly clean despite the crowd. You’ll see many families and groups enjoying barbecues, tents, music, and campfires.
As you drive deeper into the sand dunes, (4x4 mandatory) , everything changes. The crowd thins out, the surroundings become quieter, and soon you’ll find wide open space all to yourself. It’s perfect if you prefer a more peaceful camping experience while still enjoying all the fun outdoor activities.
The highlight is definitely the night sky. Since there are no street lights or artificial lights at all, the area becomes pitch dark — which is exactly what makes the stars look unreal. You can easily spot constellations, and on clear nights, you will see the stars glowing across the sky. It’s truly magical.
One important thing to be prepared for — during winter it can get very windy and extremely cold, especially late at night. Warm clothes and blankets are a must. Also, there are no shops or markets anywhere nearby. Once you pass the last petrol pump, that’s your final chance to buy water, food, charcoal, and other essentials, so plan well in advance.
Overall, it’s an amazing escape from city life — peaceful, adventurous, and beautiful all at once. Perfect for anyone who loves desert camping, star gazing, and quality time with family or friends.
