Experience life in a desert at the Bedouin Oasis Camp in RAK
The northernmost emirate of the UAE is best known for its beaches, centuries-old forts and museums. But what is it like living in the desert? The Bedouin Oasis Camp in Ras Al Khaimah is the latest addition to the list of fun things to do in the city. From accommodation to activities on offer, here is everything guests can look forward to at the camp.
ALL ABOUT THE BEDOUIN OASIS CAMP IN RAK
It is almost impossible to look at the vastness of the deserts in the UAE and not be mesmerised by it. While there are other activities, there is nothing quite like spending a night at Bedouin Oasis.
The camp setting is luxurious, but the fun part is that you still get a chance to spend time in the wilderness. Gaze at the stars for hours, enjoy the gentle desert breeze and take in the surreal surroundings. The experience puts into perspective how challenging Bedouin life in the UAE is.
ACCOMMODATION AT BEDOUIN OASIS CAMP IN RAS AL KHAIMAH
Despite a desert location, your stay at the Bedouin Oasis Camp will have all the luxuries, to say the least. The chalets here are beautifully designed and come with every comfort just like any other top hotel. The convenience is further complemented by the dedicated, attentive staff that provides you with the best experience.
Once you have settled down in your temporary abode, you can enjoy all the activities on offer.
There are three options when it comes to camp accommodation.
PREMIUM CHALET
These “Bedouin Huts” are built using traditional materials and are decorated like an Arabian Majlis. However, they have all modern facilities like a private shower and air conditioning. Guests have access to a swimming pool and kid’s play area. A single hut can accommodate a family of four – two adults and two children.
DELUXE BEDOUIN CHALETS
The exteriors and roofs of these chalets are decorated with pure goat hair, much like how desert nomads used to do. But these chalets are air-conditioned, have an attached bath and are designed for couples.
NATURE VIEW CHALET
The Nature View chalets are located in the private camping area. Guests can enjoy incredible views of the landscapes, including the stunning sunrise without leaving their rooms. It sounds like a perfect place to reconnect with nature, right?

BEDOUIN OASIS CAMP RAK DESERT SAFARI
The Bedouin Oasis desert safari is the ultimate experience for anyone visiting the UAE. Get ready for a scintillating ride through the dunes of RAK. The 45 minutes 4×4 experience will be followed by arrival at the camp, where staff will serve you Arabic Coffee. Depending on your preferences, you can opt for a camel ride, henna painting and sandboarding. Keep that camera ready for a picture-perfect sunset too!
MORNING SAFARI
Visitors can settle for a morning safari. After the 45-minute dune bashing session, you will visit a camel farm and a date farm.
QUAD BIKE TOUR
Dune bashing with the wheels in your control – now that sounds like fun. Learn to ride a 220 CC Cobra Quad Bike and go for a spin in the desert! During this adventure, you might come across some of the region’s wildlife like camel herds, Arabian oryx, desert foxes and other species that thrive here.
BUGGY RIDE
While the Quad Bike is for one person, a buggy ride is suitable for a group of four. Master the dunes in a powerful 800 cc vehicle! With safety features like 4-point race harnesses, full roll cages and doors, plus guidance from onsite experts, it’s the best way to explore the camp.
CAMEL TREKKING
If you prefer a more traditional exploration route, a camel trekking experience can be your best bet. Professional guides will take you across the dunes, where you will encounter unique flora and fauna.
ENTERTAINMENT AND DINNER IN THE DESERT
Guests can look forward to a lavish, delicious Arabic-style BBQ buffet to end the day. What more can you ask for?
