The Good Stuff
Clean Camp
Even visitors expecting a standard camp found it clean, well maintained and traditionally styled.
Fresh BBQ
Fresh BBQ food is a repeated bright spot, with one review also praising the selection of starters and accompaniments.
Live Shows
Evening entertainment includes Tanoura, belly dancing and fire performances.
Family Friendly
The combination of desert activities, dinner and shows has worked well for family outings.
Organized Queues
At least one busy dinner service was managed with helpers directing guests through the food line quickly.
Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid Peak. If possible, avoid peak season: one visitor reported that the buffet ran out and the crowd became indecent.
Queue Early. Join the buffet queue promptly, since one review says you need to be in line in time to receive the food.
Consider VIP. Ask about VIP service if you want an upgraded option; one guest specifically said it made the experience superb.
Prepare For Heat. Bring sensible heat protection and plan for exposure: a visitor summed up the conditions as very hot.
Check Camel Care. Before riding, ask how camel rides are supervised, particularly if safety is a concern.

The Bottom Line
Dubai Leisure Desert Camp in Al Wohoosh combines a desert safari with an evening camp programme. The core experience is dune bashing in a 4x4, followed by a camel ride, buffet dinner and stage entertainment. Several reviews describe the driving as adventurous but safe, and the camp as clean, traditional-looking and well maintained.
Food is mixed but often praised when it is fresh. The BBQ station, fresh bread and starters receive especially favourable mentions, while other guests found the food average or ran out during peak season. The shows can include Tanoura, belly dancing and fire performances, although one visitor felt dinner was rushed because the entertainment started before they had finished eating.
This is a busy group excursion rather than a quiet desert retreat. Crowds and queue management can affect the evening, so arriving early for the buffet is sensible and avoiding peak season may help. A serious review also reported an unpredictable camel, limited supervision and injuries, so ask about riding arrangements before taking part.
Shisha is available, but moving it to your table away from the smoking zone was reported to cost 50 dirham.
