We booked the dinner experience only at Sonara Camp. We grabbed a yalla there but didn't realise it would be challenging to hail a cab back, but luckily the staff were able to provide this service and dropped us off at the hotel. Definitely make sure you have arranged transportation if you do not opt for the company's one. The camp was so luxurious and the service was amazing. As we only went as two people, it was lot of of food for us, but we got to try a few different things. The fire show was great! Once the show ended, there was no rush for you to leave and we could roam the camp before leaving. The desert does get cooler at night, and you may want to bring a scarf or jacket in case, although I believe blankets are available if you do need it. Overall a great night and experience, and would recommend doing this at least once (lots of people were there for celebration reasons).

5 stars for: The luxury experience that you feel the moment you get picked up outside the conservatory, great team providing you with every tip and information you need to maximize your stay enjoyment. Sunset View was spectacular and it makes you want to freeze the moment. Hospitality team is so nice, friendly and generous. Shout out to Ayman who observed our preferences and made sure to offer more of what we like and gave us a personalized experience while enjoying the sunset, dinner and the show. Can’t say anything about the food other than it was a lot of great options that you won’t regret trying. Nothing came close to ordinary everything tasted great. The nest amenities made us forget that we were in the middle of the desert.

У нас был потрясающий опыт пребывания в лагере «Сонара»! Всё было прекрасно организовано от начала до конца. Еда была превосходной — каждое блюдо обладало великолепным вкусом, а подача — великолепной. Вид на пустыню на закате был захватывающим. Нам понравились все развлечения: катание на сэндборде по пологим дюнам, катание на верблюдах и захватывающее шоу соколов, которое произвело полное впечатление. Самым потрясающим стало огненное шоу ближе к вечеру — оно озарило ночь и стало идеальным завершением. Ужин (и вечерний перекус) были превосходными, а персонал отнесся к нам очень тепло. Настоятельно рекомендуем всем, кто хочет провести волшебный вечер в пустыне.

We had an amazing experience at Sonara Camp! From start to finish it was beautifully organized. The food was excellent — every dish had great flavor, and presentation was lovely. The desert setting as the sun set was breathtaking. We enjoyed all the activities: sandboarding on gentle dunes, riding camels, and a spectacular falcon show that felt immersive. The most amazing part was the fire show later in the evening — it lit up the night and was the perfect finale. The dinner (and evening snack) were both excellent, and the staff treated us so warmly. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a magical desert evening.

Это потрясающий опыт, стоящий каждого цента. Атмосфера, шоу, еда, погружение. Вы не будете разочарованы. Мне было приятно увидеть, что они сделали специальное мероприятие на Пасху, поэтому дети вокруг были действительно счастливы.

As a delegate invited by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, I had the distinct pleasure of experiencing the breathtaking Sonara Camp, nestled within the serene Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an ambiance of magic and wonder. The camp's design seamlessly blends luxury with the natural beauty of the desert, creating an atmosphere that is both captivating and comfortable. The afternoon's events unfolded with a series of unforgettable moments. Talented musicians filled the air with enchanting melodies, setting a perfect tone for the adventures that awaited. Guests had the opportunity to partake in a variety of delightful activities, including playful games and a memorable camel ride across the dunes as the sun began its descent. As night descended, the camp came alive with even more spectacular sights and sounds. The mesmerizing Dubai belly dance performance, with its intricate movements and vibrant costumes, was a highlight of the evening. This was followed by a thrilling fire show, where skilled performers danced with flames, creating a sense of awe and excitement. The energy was palpable, and the dance floor beckoned, inviting everyone to join in the celebration. Throughout the event, we were treated with the best culinary experience that was as diverse as it was delicious. The food was simply outstanding, with each dish showcasing the rich flavors of the region and beyond. Sonara Camp is more than just a destination; it's a sensory journey that leaves an everlasting impression. The combination of stunning natural surroundings, world-class entertainment, and exquisite dining makes it a truly unique and unforgettable experience. I extend my sincere gratitude to the Sonara Camp team for providing such a truly memorable experience.

It was the best camping experience in my life. We liked everything - the ambience and atmosphere, excellent service, tasty food and different options availability. I had a personal attention as a gluten free person, everyone was so attentive and always reminded me what comes with gluten and without. We also noticed how clean was both places, it was surprisingly clean especially at the Sonara camp, wash rooms were so decent! I would like to thank all team of Nara camp as we stayed overnight in the Nest and Sonara camp for the all entertainment shows along with dinner! The big thanks to the manager of Sonara Nastasia for making our evening special. I had a small request for a table and she within 5 seconds understood me and made it perfect! Thank you so much! Also, we had an amazing experience with Megan at Sky Safari. She was very knowledgeable and made hours went fast and showed us such a beautiful view of the galaxies and stars. I didn’t want to leave her :) Me and my husband really enjoyed the stay. I posted it on my social media as a recommendation to visit this place! Glad we have such an amazing place to escape the city!
