Why Choose Magic Camp ?

The Camps Team will put all its efforts to make the stay of the clients as perfect as possible through the respect of our safety measures.

Magic Camp covers one Majlis, sunset lounge and 10 Units (1 unit = 1 tent and 1 toilet) on a space of 90’000 sqm: therefore, social distancing is easy to apply,

The fact that social distancing procedures are already adopted by Magic Camp, not only for COVID-19 reasons, but for the Camp concept and the guests’ privacy objectives. One of the aims of Magic Camp is to let the guests feel that they are in a private camp, alone in the desert.

• Tents are far from each other,
• Reception and Sunset lounge seatings are divided in a private way as per each guest/file booking,
• Dinner and breakfast tables are widely and distantly divided for privacy reasons,
• 98% of Magic Camp food service is personalized and portions are served individually ; buffet are served only during MICE bookings,
• Seats are always in open air,
• Magic Camps didn’t host any local guest.
• All of our guests are expatriates and requested to make the PCR test before their arrival, so the risk to accommodate any infected guest is almost non-existent.

As a reminder:

• No air conditioning ventilation,
• No hand dryers or similar devices,
• No shared WCs in the restaurant,
