“Could have been a great stay”
Theoretically, this could have been a great stay: a small camp with an authentic feel, only two other travellers present during the one night we stayed there. The tent was clean and comfy and even had a bathroom, and other facilities were clean and well kept. No drumming at night or other "touristy" offers for so few guests, but the peace and quiet suited us just fine. The one person on staff was very nice and cooked a lovely meal in a very nice setting – dinner by candlelight in the desert.
First off: Some signage is necessary! Even if the turnoff from the main road is easy to find with the google map sent to us, the "road" spreads out into several directions. From a hill, two camps were visible in different directions, and we were lucky enough that someone from the other camp pointed us to the right one. Unfortunately, what could have been a lovely, quiet stay in the desert turned out to be a nightmare: We got hit by a major sandstorm throughout the night. The winds kept hitting the window flap right above our head nonstop and with a lot of noise – and we had a little sand dune on our pillow, sand in our lungs, nose, ears… No sleep at all. From what we understood, it was known to camp management that the flaps are not held in place by the velcro strips when a sandstorm hits.
