This is such an amazing place. We had such a warm and humorous welcome and I'm just so sorry it was only for one night - it was fully booked so we couldn't stay another... So we ended up turning up in time for the evening and the sunset, and then headed off after sunrise and a quick camel ride. Just SO wrong in such a relaxing place to be haring around like that! Our teenagers were able to have a go at sandboarding, which was great, and then we all had a communal evening meal, which was good fun. The tents were great - and I had a really good night's sleep up to the point my daughter woke me up to see the sunrise! We'll be back because it was our favourite place, as a family - plus we missed out on the music this time, so we have to come back! Just to be in amongst those amazing dunes that you grow up seeing pictures of was so awe-inspiring. And all the guys were so relaxed and laid back - I'm trying to keep a little nugget of that with me at all times now... It's a great place. With mohamed guid 00212661514000
