Unforgettable Overnight Camping at Mleiha - Our Mleiha overnight camping experience was a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and education. From the start, we were immersed in Emirati heritage while enjoying a true camping atmosphere, complete with a campfire, archery, and traditional tents. Lucas, our supervisor, guided us through an exciting itinerary, including a stunning sunset camel ride and an unforgettable stargazing session where we spotted Mars and Jupiter. A delicious barbecue rounded off the night before we slept under the stars. The next morning, we embarked on a sunrise cruise to the Mountain of Fossils, where Lucas explained the fascinating history of the formations. After a hearty breakfast, Nirmal led us on a fossil-hunting adventure, teaching us techniques to find and understand them. My kids then enjoyed a hands-on fossil workshop with Dianne, where they learned about different fossils and even created their own. This experience was truly memorable, combining exploration, learning, and nature in the most incredible way. Highly recommended!

Perfect winter gateway - Natural retreat - This is one of the most stunning natural spots, fully equipped for comfort. The location is exceptional, and the staff overseeing and guiding guests are incredibly helpful and dedicated to their work. I would like to extend special thanks to Ms. Nada Mohamed for her support in making the booking process smooth and for her follow-up afterward. I highly recommend this place to families, friends, especially during the winter season, as it deserves to be visited more and more.

Magic! - An experience to do absolutely! Thanks to the whole team for the welcome. We loved everything from visiting the museum to the dunes in 4×4, the camel tour and the hearty BBQ dinner. The desert surrounded by mountains is beautiful! Thanks to our guide Omar and all his team. We had a wonderful family evening!

Good view, Great service with Wonderful memories - Absolutely incredible services. All staffs were super friendly and professional. They waited for us fully enough to take bunch of photos and also took of us as well. The environment of the camp was well organized (Especially for the very clean and greatly maintained toilets with A/Cs). I would definitely come back with my family and friends again. Thank you for great time and good memory.

Sunset Serenity: An Unmissable Desert Oasis 1 hour from Dubai - Hey fellow adventurers! I've just returned from an unexpected treat at the Sunset Lounge by Mleiha Archaeological Centre. I'm fresh with excitement, so here's the lowdown for anyone curious: The journey from Dubai was pretty simple – about an hour's drive. But be wary, there's this gravelly patch nearing the place, not a huge deal but better to know. It almost made me question, "Is this the right way?", but soon enough, there was the site, awaiting our arrival just as the sun began its descent. I booked this on a whim, which was quite the escapade. Their site said "no availability", but a quick call sorted it out. Super thankful for that accommodating chat. And for 90 AED per adult (kids were on the house), it was a steal, considering we were the only ones there! Purely VIP vibes. Now, if you're imagining a quiet desert sunset, you're half right. First surprise – a camel ride from the gate! My family and I were ecstatic, more so because it was unexpected. The staff? Oh, they treated us like royalty. From the way they greeted us, I half expected them to roll out a red carpet. Night fell, and then came the real magic. An astronomer with his high-tech telescope gave us a tour of the sky. First time I've ever peeked at planets through one of those, and boy, was it enlightening! The campsite was decked out in lights with a cozy feel, drinks on standby, and enough space for a sizable gathering. Major plus? Spotless AC-equipped toilets in the middle of the desert. Talk about luxury! Now, while I’m pouring my heart out praising the place, my head tells me to be honest about the little gravelly patch and the last-minute booking drama. But, that’s just being nitpicky. All in all? I urge you to experience this desert oasis for yourself. It’s the perfect setting to unwind, and offers something for everyone – from camels to constellations. My fam's already talking about a next visit.

Archeological discoveries in the desert - We visited the Mleiha archeological center about 80 kms from Dubai downtown and discovered a World of science and history near the desert. Interesting sights of archeological discoveries from different ages, from the Paleolitic to the Preislamic, with professional guides plus a fun offroad through the nesrby dunes in 4x4 SUV and a romantic dinner under the desert moon. Just an amazing half evening.

Dream proposal - I was looking for a place to propose to my girlfriend. I called them and they advised me of all the options. Set up was done as per my references, rose petals were added, but they added a nice touch of heart covered in petals on the sand, a nice lounge area, table, and bonfire set up. By the evening, they lit up all fireplaces, we had to stargaze with an informative guide. Nice food, and all facilities provided. It felt like you were totally out of this world and no one can reach you, yet everyone was just a call away for your needs. And with all this setup, my girlfriend said yes and we enjoyed the rest of the evening. fantastic experience. definitely perfect for families and couples to escape the Dubai rush.

Very Authentic Safari experience! - Very educational ! We saw Saturn by using a power telescope. A Professor explained different stars we saw in the sky. Amazing to learn from him.
