Overnight in an Air‑Conditioned Bedouin Family Tent on the Dunes of Al Ashish.
Set in a tranquil oasis at Al Ashish, Ras Al Khaimah, the Bedouin Family Tent package delivers a luxurious night under the dunes: air‑conditioned, 32 m² tents with private entrances and dune views, welcome Arabic coffee and dates, a barbecue dinner, short camel ride, sandboarding, henna painting, and evening entertainment, followed by breakfast the next morning. Additional excursions — from camel trekking and morning safaris to dhow trips and quad bikes — can be arranged at the camp for travelers seeking more time in the desert.

What the day feels like
What the night feels like
Arrive in late afternoon to an oasis camp where staff greet you with Arabic coffee and dates. As light fades the camp settles into a warm, social rhythm: a barbecue is served at 7PM, guests try short camel rides and sandboarding, local artists add henna designs, and performances—belly and fire dance—round out the evening before an overnight in a cooled, private tent and breakfast the next morning.
