Cultural integration is another defining feature of the Saudi approach to glamping. Many camps are designed to reflect traditional Bedouin architecture, adorned with motifs and furnishings inspired by desert life, while simultaneously offering luxuries such as spas, gourmet dining, and wellness retreats. Visitors might participate in traditional coffee ceremonies, listen to local poetry under the stars, or ride camels across landscapes that have been traversed for centuries. These activities not only create meaningful connections between visitors and local culture but also help preserve intangible heritage at a time when rapid modernization risks overshadowing traditional practices. By positioning glamping as both a cultural and environmental journey, Saudi Arabia ensures that tourism development strengthens rather than dilutes its identity.
