Four places, endless ways to combine them

Every trip is built to suit you — add or remove any destination, extend a night, or turn a day trip into a multi-day route.

Desert

Hisma Desert

One of the most beautiful desert areas in Tabuk — rocky plateaus overlapping red sand dunes, with mountains carrying inscriptions and rock drawings from different eras.

Valley

Addisah Valley

The jewel of the Tabuk region — towering mountains, water running through the valley year-round, and enough green to feel like a different world.

Historic

Madian Area

One of the oldest historical places in the north of the Kingdom, mentioned across religious texts and tied to the stories of many prophets — now embraced by the NEOM project.

Coast

Haql Town

A Red Sea coastal town on the Gulf of Aqaba with 0% humidity — the best summer pick, with snorkeling and free diving around colored corals.

About the camp

Located in the Hisma desert, between the sand rocks and red dunes — far enough from roads and lights to feel completely remote.

Activities at the camp

01

Watching sunset

No need to drive — walk to the big dune and watch the sun set above the Hisma desert mountains.

02

Star gazing

In the middle of the desert with the full sky open above you — a clear night here means every star.

03

Desert walk & the Great Arch Hike

A 5 km moderate trail through volcanic mountains and golden sandstone, leading to one of the region's most stunning geological wonders — the Great Arch.

04

Inscription exploring

90% of the mountains in Hisma desert carry inscriptions — walk to any mountain and try to work out which era they date back to.
