Treat yourself to a desert evening where luxury knows no bounds. Would you like me to check availability for your preferred sunset dinner date at Sonara?
Is Sonara Camp a traditional desert camp with dune bashing?
No. Sonara focuses on refined luxury and eco-conscious tranquility. The experience does not include high-speed dune bashing; instead, you enjoy a gentle, scenic drive from the gate to the camp to preserve the natural beauty of the surrounding desert.
What makes the menu at Sonara different from other desert safaris?
Unlike standard buffet safaris, Sonara offers a sophisticated multi-course menu prepared by a resident Executive Chef. We use high-quality, seasonal ingredients to create a fine-dining experience in the heart of the dunes.
Are camel rides available all evening?
To prioritize animal welfare and guest safety, camel rides are strictly available before sunset only. We recommend arriving early (around 5:00 PM) to ensure you don’t miss this traditional experience.
Is the camp family-friendly?
Absolutely. Sonara is one of the best camps for families. We offer dedicated kids’ activities, soft archery, sandboarding, and a “Movie Under the Stars” screening with popcorn to keep younger guests entertained while parents relax.
What is the dress code for the evening?
The dress code is Smart Casual. While you are in the desert, the setting is upscale. We recommend comfortable yet stylish attire and suggest bringing a light jacket or pashmina during the winter months (October to April) as the temperature drops after dark.
Does the price include alcoholic beverages and Shisha?
The standard package includes unlimited soft drinks, tea, and coffee. Alcoholic beverages and Shisha are available but are considered optional enhancements and can be purchased directly at the camp.
What happens if the camp doesn’t reach the minimum of 20 guests?
In the rare event that the operational minimum isn’t met, we will offer you a seat at our equally luxurious sister site, Nara Camp, or provide an alternative date that fits your schedule.
Is Sonara Camp accessible for guests with limited mobility?
The camp is located in the desert, so the terrain is sandy. However, the gentle drive takes you directly to the camp entrance. Please contact our team in advance so we can assist with specific arrangements to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
Can you accommodate specific dietary requirements?
Yes. Our Executive Chef can cater to various dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Please inform VooTours of any allergies or preferences at the time of booking.
What time should I arrive to get the full experience?
We recommend arriving between 5:00 PM and 5:30 PM. This gives you ample time to enjoy the sunset, participate in the falconry show, and take a camel ride before the dinner and evening entertainment begin.
