A Desert "Arabian Nights"! Here's How I Played at the Bassata Camp


🏜️During my trip to Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, the Bassata Desert Camp, full of Arabian desert charm, was one of the most memorable stops!
As soon as I entered the camp, it was like stepping into the mythical world of "Arabian Nights." Huge goat-hair tents were scattered among the towering sand dunes, creating a rich Arabian cultural atmosphere.🌠

▫️Desert Dune Bashing
Thrill level: 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Remember to⚠️ hold on tight! The off-road vehicle drifts across the sand dunes 🎢, a scream-worthy alternative to a roller coaster (with a complimentary 🆓 sand-eating experience🌚).

▫️Camel Riding
🐪Three essential elements for posing on a desert supercar:
Let your scarf fly! Wear your sunglasses! Catch the sunset on your face! If possible, get an Arabian prince's headscarf and experience the joy of "a cloth on my head, I'm the richest in the world" 😄.

▫️Sunset-Limited Edition Look
🌇Be at the top of the dunes by 5 pm sharp!
Sunset + camel silhouette = a guaranteed way to get likes on your social media📸.
Every shot is a masterpiece.

▫️Desert Disco Fun Guide
🔥Fire dancers spitting fire and generating electricity | Belly dancers with incredible core strength | Whirling dervishes that will make you dizzy.
🍢Enjoy lamb skewers and rice while watching the show. It's truly delightful!

💡Tips:
✅Apply sunscreen liberally! (The desert sun knows how to bully.)
✅Bring enough cash💸. Henna tattoos and Arabian shisha are masters of persuasion.
✅Wear lace-up shoes! Don't ask me how I know the pain of burying sandals in the sand😭.

🎁Hidden Bonus:
On the way back to the city from the desert camp, you'll pass through a stretch of desert road where you can't see your hand in front of your face.
But‼️if you're brave enough, you can capture some amazing starry sky photos!
