Camp, weddings, corporate events, pricing & booking — answered in one place.
The Camp & Location

Al Khatim, Barma North, Abu Dhabi — ~50 minutes from Abu Dhabi city, 90 minutes from Dubai, and 60 minutes from Al Ain, inside a protected dune corridor.
Is the camp shared with other groups?
Never. Every booking is an exclusive private hire — only your guests are on-site.
What's the maximum guest capacity?
Up to 500 seated guests for a single coordinated event, or 800 standing reception with extended dune-side layouts.

Weddings
Can we legally hold a wedding ceremony at the camp?
Yes. We arrange the relevant private-event permits, and have hosted Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Muslim, Arab, and civil ceremonies on-site.
Do you provide a bridal suite?
Yes — a private climate-controlled bridal suite with hair, makeup, and styling space, separate from the main guest areas.
Can we bring our own wedding planner?
Absolutely. We collaborate with planners worldwide; our crew handles venue, F&B, and on-ground execution while your planner leads creative.
Corporate Events

Product launches, annual galas, leadership offsites, awards nights, embassy and government receptions, and brand activations for global companies.
Can the camp be fully branded?

Do you arrange guest transport?
Yes. We coordinate 4x4 desert transfers, coaches from hotels, and VIP airport pickup as part of any corporate package.
