History
The dunes are part of traditional Bedouin lands where camels were central to transport and trade; modern camps echo those hospitality customs with shared meals and storytelling.
Conservation
Stick to marked riding areas and the camp’s instructions; off-route driving disturbs fragile vegetation and accelerates dune erosion—support operators who follow low-impact practices.
