Desert Camp Experience Riyadh

Take a step back in time and discover the timeless traditions of an authentic Bedouin camp, hidden within the dunes of the pristine King Abdulaziz Royal Reserve.

Explore the camp and immerse yourself in a variety of interactive areas and activities dedicated to showcasing the very best of Bedouin culture and tradition. Drink traditional coffee and eat dates before experiencing the tranquility of a camel ride over the picturesque dunes, before experiencing the thrill of sandboarding down them.

Indulge in a full Bedouin feast using ancient cooking techniques that date back thousands of years, then sit back and digest under the stars around a bonfire. Come and live a day in the life of a Saudi Bedouin with us at The Bedouin Camp Experience.
