    It was very very hot during the day (39C). Best time to visit is from November to February or March.

    Everything was perfect and met with our expectation. Jassem, the owner, pick us up at the meeting point and drove us to the camp. The camp was as it shown from the pictures in bookingcom. Bed was comfy, dinner buffet was delicious, and the breakfast also were great. Free tea and coffee in the main office/restaurant. We also took the 15 minutes camel ride and our captain (Jim from Kenya or Tanzania) was a fun and friendly person. The only issue when we were there was the weather. Would highly recommend to stay at Atana Bidiyah Camp! Thank you Jassem, from us Indonesia!

    The view on the sunset and sunrise are truely amazing. The tent is cosy and very comfortable, furnitured in a traditional fashion. The staff is very kind. They have been very helpfull in guiding us reaching the place by car, texting clear and prompt instructions

    The camp is located not too far from Bidiyah, so you can reach it fast/easy with a 4x4. But still far enough to feel like in the middle of the desert. The beds and tents are comfortable and the food (buffet) was really good. We booked the dune bashing and shared the car with other guests and it was absolutely worth it. The only thing we would improve is letting the dromedars roam more free around the camp

    Everything was ok!

    My sister and I had an incredible stay at Atana Bidiyah private and highly recommend it and the owners to anyone looking for a Wahiba desert experience that is filled with calm, connection and a deep respect for the desert and ecosystem. The owners are excellent fun and wonderful hosts - the camp may be new yet they have grown up with their families in Bidiyah. Their knowledge, stories, connection and respect for Wahiba is admirable and deeply fascinating. Atana offers delicious dinner options, snacks, Omani breakfast, a dune top 4x4 tour and transfer pick up from Bidiyah if needed. From the moment I contacted them on Instagram and the kindness they showed me, I knew I was in for a treat! Arriving around 4pm, there’s time to settle into your tent, take in some Omani coffee and breathe in the serenity that engulfs you. An incredible sunset tour on the dunes with safe and experienced driving and a visit to the natural well that provides water for the camel and goat herders (your only neighbours), as well as the camp, and watching the sun kiss the land before descending back for dinner - the best BBQ I have had in Oman these past 6 years! And then the stars came out and wow! Ayla is located away from other camps, uses solar power, and is located not too deep into Wahiba - making it accessible, wonderfully quiet and with no light pollution. And just when you think you’ve experienced it all and climb into bed smiling and full of joy - the afternoon sun has kindly warmed your bed and the high-quality, high-thread cotton offers a warm hug on the cool evening for the best night’s sleep. Sunrise brings more discovery as the birds, goats, camels awaken and start their day around you. Snuggled up with a hot drink watching the world wake up in this vast stillness. Lifetime memories were made and I am thankful to the team at Atana for taking such great care of me and my sister. Definitely recommended.

    I had an unforgettable stay at this amazing desert camp! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. The way description to find the camp was clear and precise, ensuring an easy and stress-free arrival. Also everytime i cant ask them if i didnt was sure if i am on the write way. I never drived before in the desert but with the information from him i dit it & it was also fun. The send you a place where you can defleate your tyres for 1 OMR. The hospitality of the team was outstanding—everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. They truly made us feel at home in the heart of the desert. The camp itself was beautifully set up, offering both comfort and an authentic desert experience. You have also a own bathroom, was i find its amazing. The stunning sand dunes, breathtaking sunsets, and peaceful atmosphere made this trip magical. Whether it was enjoying traditional food (they had also a lot of vegetarian option), sitting by the campfire under the stars, or experiencing exciting desert activities, every moment was very beautiful.

    The overnight stay in the desert in a tent was a pleasant experience. The tent is very clean and comfortable. The food was very good. Everyone is very friendly. Yassim is very friendly and helpful. Since we had no experience driving in the desert, he was a good guide.

    Everything OK

    In fact, everything is even better than in the photo and in the description. They met us in the nearest city, lowered the pressure in the tires and took us to the camp. The tent has everything you need, a shower and a toilet. The beds are very clean. They fed us a delicious dinner, and then we sat around the fire with marshmallows. On February 14th there was a fireworks display.

    We had a great experience! The pickup and ride were smooth, and our driver, Sultan, was super friendly. The tent was really comfortable, the food was tasty, and everything was well-organized. They were also very flexible—despite our late arrival, they waited patiently and adjusted the plan perfectly. Would definitely recommend!
