My husband and I visited the camp to celebrate our wedding anniversary (it was our first time there) and we had an overall lovely experience. We drove from Abu Dhabi to Al Marfa region, which is about an 80 min drive. It seems a bit far because there isn’t much out there, but once you get to the camp you get the chance to disconnect from the city life and enjoy nature. The staff was always super friendly and attentive to our needs; from the moment we walked into the reception we were greeted and offered traditional Emirati gahwa and dates. We were then driven to our camper to drop off our belongings and had a special arrangement in our camper, which was beautiful. We were later picked up to have dinner in the common areas. There is a 24-hr pick-up/drop-off service from your campsite to anywhere in the camp. There are also bikes available that you can use to move around if you prefer. We spent a total of 2 nights and 2.5 days. On the second day we did an early morning (7am) nature drive where we learned about the local flora and fauna, and visited the vegetable patch. Later that day we went kayaking near the mangroves and to finish off the day, we went on a sunset horse ride. There are a lot more activities (including a temperature-controlled swimming pool) that we didn’t get a chance to try because we were tight with time, so we went for the main attractions. The food was exceptional! Especially the steak. The staff always went above and beyond to make sure we were happy throughout our stay. I would like to give a special thanks to Vinoid, Rey, Jhay, Mufizur, Ahmed, Yousef, chef Omran and chef Dennis, Ibrahim, Adjmal, Andy, and everyone else who made sure we were taken care of at all times, thank you so much!!! The camp is beautiful and has everything you need to have a full-on glamping experience, it’s the perfect place for a weekend getaway! Highly recommend, we will definitely come back soon.
