Desert Halloween Story

01 / WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES

The desert
after dark.

When the sun disappears behind the dunes, another side of the desert awakens.

On Saturday 31 October, Sonara Camp gives its evening to the Desert Halloween Story.

Lanterns glow along the paths. Shadows stretch across the dunes. Fire flickers in the distance. And from golden hour onwards, a playful Halloween story begins to unfold through the camp, its décor and its performances.

The evening opens in true Sonara style: drinks and canapés at sunset, camels and falcons, sandboarding and soft archery on the sand.

GOLDEN HOUR GIVES WAY TO FIRELIGHT

Then darkness falls
and the story changes.

The camp dresses for Halloween, dinner is served beneath the stars, and the evening’s performances carry the story through to Sonara’s fire finale.

02 / TWO CHAPTERS. YOUR EVENING.

From golden hour
to the final flame.

03 / SMALL WONDERS, BIG MEMORIES

For little
adventurers.

The sunset hour stays playful and full of things to discover — desert activities, music and adventures on the sand before night falls.

Later, as the grown-ups settle in for dinner and the performances begin, children can enjoy the evening with the family or escape to their own corner of the camp for a film beneath the stars.

Children’s cinema is included with Dinner and Sunset & Dinner.

Spooky enough to be Halloween.
Magical enough to still be Sonara.Costumes are very much welcome.
