    Only thing to suggest is wifi in rooms is possible however must realise being in the desert this is reasonable. Wifi is available in reception and restaurant.

    The camp and the communication (email and whatsapp) was excellent. I would recommend driving to Bidiya and parking a rental car and getting the escort service to the camp. The Ameer tent is amazing and comfortable, the staff promptly took care of an insect situation which arose and allowed us use of another room if required which was a great gesture. The food is exceptional especially the buffet dinner which is a very high standard. Stargazing in the night was also a welcomed surprise.

    Our stay was amazing, very well built and maintained camp, like a holiday village. Food was amazing, they arrange many activities in the dunes. For us the best one is stargazing. It was so nice and informative.

    nothing - would recommend this camp anytime

    everything was amazing! in the middle of the dessert, quiet and relaxing. The tent was spacious and clean, the bathroom was half open air, so you could shower under the stars. The staff was very friendly, helpful and offered a lot of activities. Breakfast and Dinner buffet were also really good.

    Unsupervised children at the pool, it took the front desk staff and hour to deal with the situation. But the hotel isn’t responsible for poor parenting decisions.

    All the arrival info for a self drive can appear a bit daunting but actually the drive there is straightforward and fun. We did get the complimentary escort out there but drove back alone.

    Great to experience the desert side of Oman at this camp. The tent had pretty good AC, and felt comfortable but appropriately rustic. The food was fine, and the pool area was welcome in the heat, although pretty small for the number of guests. I get it though, this is the desert! Wide range of activities e.g. camel ride and quad bikes, are available but they are very expensive. One night was enough for us in early summer

    Potential foreign hazards due to surely substandard electrical installation (ie scotchtaped connections behind the bed right in linen wall) Don‘t go during school holidays, chances are there will be small kids screaming with parents not caring

    Location, architecture, pool area (small but a bliss), very professional maître d‘hôtel.

    Single child bed had a plastic wrapping which created lots of noise with every move and sheet was slipping off. They provided a blanket (looked old and was a bit rough) with no duvet or sheets. There was no hot water

    The prices of the things to do / tours are to exepensive... Nothing so special anyway, since we can self to the dunes to see sunrise / sunset.

    Amazing place to stay, I feel the hotel is a bit decadent, but pool area and restaurant were really nice. Food had many options and really big portions. Staff were really helpfull. We choose to self drive our selfs but got lucky to find a guide and another car going to this same camp, but super doable to go alone, is a clear "road" all the way. The way back was super easy. No alchool on site, but you can take yours.

    The directions given are rather difficult. We could have driven however chose the collection and drop off option (due to having a rental and uncertain about the dune difficulty stated on the directions) but this was very expensive.

    The location was beautiful and the camels roaming the grounds were a bonus. Definitely stay in the Deluxe or higher tents as the view of sunrise is beautiful.

    Beautiful Camp, but Extremely Overpriced and Poor Treatment of Animals

    There needs to be far better signage en route to the camp! The coordinates they provide are helpful, but the signs themselves are extremely old/hard to read and don't make it obvious which way to go. This may be because they're trying to get more money out of people by charging 40 RO for a round-trip guide. Wifi barely works in common areas, and doesn't reach rooms at all. Optional activities like dune bashing, etc. are exceedingly overpriced! A campfire setup is 80 RO per hour ($208 USD/hour!!) The camels weren't treated well - they were left tied up by their heads low to the ground to force them to lay down for tourists (please don't book camel rides/take pictures of the camels or they'll keep doing this!) Overall beautiful camp, but 1 night is plenty if you don't plan on spending an arm and a leg on activities

    Beautiful desert camp with stargazing and beautiful sunrises/sunsets! Staff are very friendly, food was better than expected considering how far out in the desert it is, and the rooms were quite comfortable with good working AC

    Only one small thing that keeps me from giving the straight 10 for this resort. At the rather high price point one could expect higher quality bathrooms. The bathrooms in the standard sheikh room could be renewed as they have come a bit of age e.g. perfectly clean yet very dark and our warm water was not working.

    Stunning camp with great food and a perfect location. Truly the best dessert experience to be had while still maintaining a very high standard of facilities.
