Escape the city and enter the calm, timeless landscape of the Yazd desert as daylight fades into night. Located approximately 20 kilometers from Yazd, Shabahang Desert Camp offers an atmospheric evening experience where nature, adventure, and silence meet beneath the open sky. This optional excursion is designed to showcase the desert at its most enchanting—during sunset and under a canopy of stars—within a safe, family-friendly, and well-equipped eco-camp.

 

Evening Desert Adventure

 

In the late afternoon, depart from your hotel in Yazd for a short drive of around 25 minutes, including a brief gravel road section accessible by standard vehicles. Arrive at Shabahang Desert Camp just in time to witness the sun setting behind rolling sand dunes, painting the desert in warm golden tones.

Guests may enjoy a range of optional desert activities such as camel riding, quad biking, safari rides, or sandboarding on the soft dunes. As evening settles, unwind in the camp’s comfortable common areas, where traditional shisha (hookah) and refreshments may be available.

The highlight of the experience comes after dark, when the desert sky reveals its full brilliance. With minimal light pollution, the camp offers excellent conditions for stargazing and night-sky observation using a telescope, creating a memorable and peaceful end to the day. After the program, return to Yazd, or opt for an overnight stay at the camp if arranged in advance.
