Camping

📖 In short

Camping is a fun trip where we spend a day or more out in nature, sleeping in a tent, cooking outdoors and enjoying the stars and the quiet. Many Arab families love camping in the desert in winter.

🤩 Did you know?

Sleeping bags come in different shapes, including rectangular bags and narrow, warm “mummy” bags.
Mummy bags are common for winter camping and high places.
Lighting a fire needs three kinds of material.
On camping nights far from cities, you can see a huge number of stars.

🌟 What do we need?

We need a tent, warm sleeping bags, a flashlight, enough water, food, a first-aid kit and clothes suited to the weather.

🔍 Putting up the tent

We choose a flat, dry spot away from flash-flood channels, then put up the tent and fix it with pegs and ropes so the wind doesn't blow it away.

💡 The campfire

To light a fire we need things that catch quickly, small twigs, then bigger wood. Only grown-ups light it, and it must be put out properly with water and earth before sleeping or leaving.

🎯 Respect nature

Don't leave your rubbish behind but collect it and take it with you. Don't cut living trees, don't disturb animals, and leave the place cleaner than you found it.
