Dubai Bedouin camp in desert oasis

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION

The desert is known for its sunny weather, making it the perfect location for harnessing solar energy. Installing solar panels in the camp provides a significant amount of energy to power the camp's lights, fans, and other electrical appliances.

We recognized the growing demand for vegetarian and vegan options amongst our guests. Our culinary team takes great pride in crafting delicious and diverse menus that cater to different dietary preferences. We aim to provide choices that are both sustainable and satisfying. By offering plan-based options, we not only minimize our environmental impact, but also provide our guests with the opportunity to make sustainable choices during their stay. We firmly believe that every small step towards a greener future counts, and we are delighted to be able to contribute to this cause.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

Waste management is essential to maintain the ecosystem of the desert. Implementing a waste management system helps to reduce the amount of waste produced in the camp. Recycling bins have been placed in the camp to encourage guests to recycle their waste. Additionally, organic waste is composted to create nutrient-rich soil for plants in the camp.

Water is a scarce resource in the desert, and it's essential to conserve it. Guests are encouraged to take shorter showers, turn off the taps when brushing their teeth, and reuse their towels. Additionally, low-flow showerheads and faucets are installed to conserve water.

Planting native species of plants helps to maintain the natural ecosystem of the desert. These plants are adapted to the harsh desert climate and require less water and maintenance. Additionally, they provide shade and reduce the temperature in the camp.

We have implemented these sustainable initiatives in our desert camps in Dubai to make an effort to reduce the impact on the environment and promote sustainable tourism. These initiatives can also contribute to educating guests on the importance of conservation and encourage them to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives.

LOCAL ECONOMY

All accommodation is locally owned and we actively source our supplies and materials from local vendors and artisans. From our eco-friendly accommodation structures, to the locally produced furnishing and decor, we prioritize working with local businesses to promote economic growth and sustainability.

We also set targets for continuous improvement by offering travel tips to guests and staff about how to travel more sustainably, be more environmentally conscious and support the local economy in every destination they visit.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

In our commitment to equal employment, we take pride in fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce. We firmly believe that embracing employees from different nationalities not only promotes equality but also brings a wealth of perspective, experiences and cultural understanding to our team.

By offering authentic Bedouin experiences in our camps we contribute to promote the heritage culture of the region and facilitate the support of income for local community members including Bedouins (Indigenous people).
