The camp was more comfortable than I expected even though it was rustic – basic beds in a Bedouin tent with electricity for lights and device charging. I expected to be colder (it was November) but the traditional tent was decent at keeping out the draft. There was a larger communal tent for meals and hanging out that had games and a supply of tea. Meals were great – Arabic style grilled meat and vegetables which they cooked in a pit outside,” she says. “I love the desert and being able to stay a few nights in the tent, watching the stars at night, and seeing the colours change throughout the day – especially at sunrise and sunset – was amazing. The quiet of the area is profound, especially at night. It is the kind of setting that makes you think deep thoughts about the universe. A herd of camels wandered through at breakfast time so there were fun photo opportunities there too.
