Camp Sahara – Dead Sea Glamping
About This Place
Camp Sahara is where the northern Dead Sea trades marble lobbies for geodesic domes and open desert sky. Set in the Judean Desert beside Biankini Beach, about 25 minutes from Jerusalem and roughly 75 minutes from Ben Gurion Airport, it is glamping built around the landscape rather than walled off from it: domes with Dead Sea views, an authentic Moroccan kitchen, and a private beach with natural mud just beyond the door. This is the stay for travelers who want the Dead Sea social and unpolished — closer to the desert and the water, lighter on the resort formality.

Accommodation
Guests sleep in geodesic domes of about 30 sqm, standing 3.85 meters tall, each with a king bed plus two single beds, air conditioning, a fridge, and a private yard — enough for a couple or a small family. The “Villa” glamp deluxe adds a private bathroom and shower. For groups, a single large dome of 150 sqm sleeps up to eight.
Who This Property Suits Best
Camp Sahara suits experiential and value-minded travelers who want the Dead Sea raw, families with young children (there is a toddlers’ pool), and groups who can take the large dome. Because it sits on the northern shore close to Jerusalem, it also works well as a base for travelers combining the Dead Sea with Jerusalem and the northern desert sites rather than the Ein Bokek hotel strip. Travelers who want five-star service, full spa facilities, or in-room luxury should look at the Ein Bokek resorts instead.
