Lacking some cultural explanations and activities at night (pit fire, stories, …)

Great location and very authentic. At the foot of a huge and beautifull dune. Very friendly staff.

nothing it was just perfect, despite the clouds which did not enable to watch the stars but were a blessing for the local people (only 1-2 days per year)

welcoming staff, great food, lost in the sands, tour in the sand dunes, generating own electricity with solar energy. we were with another group of 3 friendly people from Germany. perfect time

Nothing really - very authentic and thus we were fine with cold showers! ;)

Authentic nomadic style tents in a secluded area next to a large dune. The location was perfect to watch the sunset and sunrise on the dune but also could you easily drive yourself back to the village near the desert! It was easy to get there as a meeting point at 3pm was arranged and then you could decide if you would like to go by your own car (totally recommend if you have a 4WD) or pay for a pick-up. The owner was super friendly and greeted us with tea/ coffee and snacks and shared some information about Omani traditions. We booked a camel ride for the morning (10 OMR per person) and were picked up (free dune bashing included) to go camel riding at a nearby camp - we loved it, was very much fun! Dinner and breakfast was good as well with many vegetarian options!

The bedding, towels, and the mosquito nets need updating.

Excellent staff, tasty and plentiful dinner and breakfast, wonderful location.

Everything was excellent.

We appreciated that the desert camp was very simple (only tents, electricty only in the evening for the main tent). It was superbly located next to a big sand dune. The manager and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Simple, but very good food. The place was easy to find (some 15 km from the main road) because the son of the manager expected us at the office at the main road who lead us to the camp (that we reached without any problems with a SUV without 4x4). We booked a breathtaking one-hour-tour with a 4x4 car through the sand desert at sunrise.

I loved everything and it was exactly what I was looking for.

The camp is a gem and a very authentic stay in the desert. No electricity and comfortable basic beduin tents with perfect Omani hospitality. Have been several times and will for sure be back soon.

Tent ceiling pretty low, small space but efficient and good mattress. Meals very basic.

Small group of tents, at 3 pm you can follow a driver to the camp with your own 4x4. Quiet , camels around, great dune bash drive, kind and informative owner/manager. Meals enough food.

Everything was great!

The camp was far away from other camps which gave you a great feeling of being alone in the dessert. Amazing hosts and amazing food! Waking up with camels around the camp was awesome!

The owner is a very humble and kind person. Booked two nights with bed/breakfast and dinner. It is genuinely a basic infrastructure, that is what is caters for. If you like the basic style, top. If you want luxury and air-con, book one which offers it. This retreat lives up to its name. The employees incredibly friendly. Having a shower under the stars, wonderful. Walk up the dune to view, sunset or sunrise. No artificial light at night, roaming camels. We booked a day tour drive through the Wahiba Sands desert to the Indian ocean with the owner (self-drive). This was fantastic if you love the desert, driving in sand, dunes and a superb meal of king-fish biryani. It is a long day, but believe me worth every penny and second.

The sand dune is very high and the climb is not that easy, maybe walk a bit further away from the camp and go up there. One of the camps that is further away from town, but has still some light disturbance at night.

Great experience in the dessert! Nice and friendly staff and very convenient meeting point at their office at the gas station. Good food and a lovely view from the sand dune

Incredibly friendly stuff and owner, very peaceful location. Loved everything about it, especially the walking around the dunes next to it. Totally recommended!

I spent two weeks in Oman but definitely this was the highlight of the trip. We were picked up by the owner from Al Wusta (as we didn't have a 4x4) and he drove us to the camp. There was only one group of friends and the rest of the camp was empty, which was nice as we chose this specific camp to relax and disconnect. Nice activities were offered (other guys did the dune bashing). The owner spent a really long time talking to us - he was the nicest person in the already very friendly country. The staff working there was very polite and helpful. Food options (including vegetarian!) were amazing, for the desert I think it was almost luxurious. I will always recommend this camp to everyone, it was really nice and peaceful. This camp is a gem of Wahiba Sands. And the tallest dune is located right next to the camp, which is a must to climb (although exhausting). The sunset was beautiful. The owner really cares about his business and the guest, as well as his staff.

The owner was very kind. He even had dinner with us and told us interesting stories about the Omanies and their culture. Also the staff was very friendly. The tents were great & clean and next to the camp was a big dune where we were able to see lovely sunsets and sunrises. We would definitely come here again and can highly recommend this camp.
