Delicious British Favorites

“I was thrilled to find British favorites on the menu at Al Hamra Jungle Resort. After an exhilarating day of exploring, I stopped for a meal and was delighted by the shepherd's pie — so good that my friend ended up ordering two servings! The reasonable drink prices and delicious food made our visit nice.” view full review

My stay at Al Hamra Jungle Resort was highly disappointing. While the staff were friendly, the overall experience was marred by numerous issues, including the remote location and inadequate facilities. It's not the peaceful jungle retreat I had hoped for.

I was really disappointed by my stay at Al Hamra Jungle Resort. While the staff was friendly and helpful, the place felt run down and really far from the city—about 35 km instead of the advertised 8 km. The dining options were limited and overpriced, plus there was no WiFi, and the facilities just didn't meet my expectations.
