Luxury Tents in Shāhiq

Very different and adventurous stay when travelling in Oman. Nice equipped camp has everything you need except for wifi and power in the sockets for charging your phone. But you can enjoy sunset from a swing, night sky, sit for hours by the fire and wake up with the newborn sun over the dunes (if you want to). We had a pretty amazing later afternoon and night in the camp, I absolutely recommend

Alsarmadi is a camp with traditional Bedouin-style tent accommodations (with very comfortable Western-style beds!) high in the dunes of the sandy desert near Bidiyyah. It’s an experience, not just a place to stay. Even getting there is an adventure. You can drive yourself in a four-wheel drive, following after the truck sent from the camp to meet you (for free) or you can get a ride in their truck (for a fee, currently 35 rials). Once there, you will be offered Omani coffee, juice, and dates in a traditional carpeted shelter, then you can visit the livestock (Omani sheep, various breeds of goats, chickens, camels and a donkey), pet the baby goats, and take a ride on a camel. The camel riding is expensive but we thought it was worth it. Not as uncomfortable as I had imagined, although there was quite a lurch when the camel got up from kneeling to let us get on. After sunset, we were invited to watch the cooking of supper over an open fire, and we each had a turn to cook spicy flatbread directly on the coals. The food was delicious, with a nice selection of other dishes as well as the traditional food cooked over the fire. At night, the star-gazing was excellent, and the next morning we were surprised to find tracks of many small animals in the sand. So it was a very rich experience, made more memorable by the host, Said, who was very warm and accommodating and encouraged us to take advantage of all the experiences available.

The location. The staff and the service.

Highly recommended! The bedouin owner is the best host you can probably find on earth. He really cares a lot about his guests. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. Also the tours he provided have been extraordinary - sunset camel ride, dune bashing, sandboarding, cooking class, hot air balloon flight, to only name a few. And you can have the real bedouin experience if you like. Here you can experience the famous omani hospitality. We loved it so much and will definitely come back!

An amazing desert experience. There was one member of staff who slept overnight, who cooked a great dinner and breakfast for us in a Bedouin tent. The following day we had a Bedouin guide who took us further into the desert. He managed to find a variety of reptiles and mammals by following tracks and digging in the sand. We saw a lot more than we expected to and was very interesting to talk to somebody who actually lives in the desert.

I had this place and a couple others camps down to the wire, on which place I should stay at, in the end I chose this place. Once experiencing it I was happy with my decision. You get a more private experience at this place compared to others as there are are less tents and people, this goes a long way and you won't see this in the description or know this until you are there. Rashid goes out of his way to make your stay very enjoyable, like a true Omani. The other bonus that this place has over others is that its at the top of some of the highest dunes you can stay at; which is good because their is less dune climbing for you. PLUS driving up to the tents is so much fun in the rental (its not hard, just keep your momentum). Dune bashing was amazing and same with the camel ride. Thanks again Rashid.
