Not easy to find the location of the camp. The location provided on Google maps is not the location of the camp, and compared to a lot of the other camps there is very limited signage. I had given up and turned around to head into town and find alternative accommodation and then decided to turn into a track in the sand in a last ditch effort to find the camp after an hour without success and thankfully stumbled across it

Loved my desert stay at this camp. Lovely staff and location, it felt very secluded. The food was delicious, sleeping in a bed under the stars was magic, and the bathroom was very luxurious for the setting.

Nothing.

Small and intimate camp. Great facilities given location in middle of desert. Super helpful and friendly host. Beds moved out of tent so we could sleep under the stars.

Absolutely nothing.

The authenticity was spot on. Everyone and everything was perfect. It was a hot night and the staff put our beds outside the tents, sleeping under the stars and full moon night was above and beyond our expectations. Camel rides were a little pricey but ya gotta do it. Diner and breakfast were traditional and plentiful. We will be back!

Staying at Authentic Desert Camp was pure magic! The traditional tents were both beautiful and authentic, offering true desert charm and comfort. The meal was a feast—homemade, flavorful, and unforgettable. The silence and serenity of the desert were soul-soothing. Don’t miss the sunset 4WD safari—it’s an awe-inspiring adventure everyone should experience! Thank you Nasser and your family for all hospitality!

We had the best day and night at Saeed's desert camp. After discovering the authentic bedouin tent we were going to stay in, he brought us into the desert by car for some dune bashing and to see some camels. Hugging desert camels was amazing! Then Saeed set up a little traditional sitting area on a high dune for us to watch the sunset. Back to the camp we had a traditional dinner and tried to learn some traditional dancing. In the morning we were able to enjoy breakfast and take our time in the nearby dunes and with his camels.

Amazing experience with Sayyid who really puts a lot of effort into making the guests feel comfortable- from the meet-up till the last moments of our stay we really felt that he truly cared for us, providing all help and a lot of time in our stay. We got engaged a few days before coming to his camp and just mentioned it to him and he prepared a totally unexpected cake for us! What is more, he knows a lot about the desert life as he comes from a Beduin family. I really recommend staying at his place to get the true desert experience :)

everything was perfect

An absolutely perfect and an authentic desert experience! From the delicious traditional breakfast and dinner to the breathtaking night sky filled with stars, everything was incredible. The tranquility of the desert, the warm hospitality, and the exciting activities made our stay unforgettable. A special thank you to Said for his warm welcome and incredible helpfulness—he truly made our stay even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a magical escape!

An amazing experience in a Bedouin camp in the desert among the dunes. Great hosts, a diverse program (camel rides, driving cars on the dunes, local music and dance after dinner), excellent food. Very comfortable bed. Each tent was with its own private bathroom.

Stayed in February 2025

Just keep in mind, to take a shower before sunset of after sunrise, because there’s of course no hot water. If you want to visit Wadi Bani Khalid, you should leave quickly after breakfast to be there before the groups arrive there from Muscat, at 10:00-10:30. The problem is, that Saïd is so welcoming, that you feel bad about leaving so early. But just explain to him and he understands it. Take in account that in the village you need to pump up your tires (1 rial). You’re not the only one, locals do the same thing, so take about 15 min in account for it. All the airplanes fly above the desert, so it’s not totally quiet at night. It’s not disturbing, bit good to know.

Saïd is welcoming person. We did the desert ride ourselves. We stuck, but the first local helped us, with the tires. From then on no problems. Saïd was already looking for us, as our drive was longer then he expected. Once at his campsite, we were surprised by the totally sand free tents. Every tent comes with an own toilet and shower. Saïd took us for sunset drive during which you will enjoy dunebashing and you’ll have a bit of introduction to what the Dakar rally is about. At the end he serves Beduin coffee at the top a dune. My wife and I, enjoyed it a lot, even though normally we never drink coffee. In the evening he serves dinner to all his guests after which he and his crew start to dance. Before sunrise we did also the sunrise tour, and again dunebashing (Saïd likes to impress his guests with it). After returning we had breakfast which was again ok. The camp is really authentic as it called. All the tents were used by Saïd’s family, before they settled in Al-Wasil.

Wonderful hospitality from Said who shared with us his knowledge and experience of the desert. We highly recommend the camel tour at sunset and the 4 wheel drive with Said. This was a highlight In our Oman tour !

The camp and the rooms are really comfy. Food is delicious. We enjoyed the sunset on the dunes with an Omani coffee and it was a perfect moment. Little drive on top of the dunes is also a very very good memory. Saeed and the team will make you feel home.

The camp is wonderful, in the heart of the desert. The property is quite small and the atmosphere is nice for the stay. We also did the activities they present to you

We loved our stay! Everything was very well organized from the beginning, the food was delicious and the tents are beautiful. You have all the comfort you need and even more, with a private bathroom. We also recommend the dune bashing!

Can’t think of anything negative.

Rather solitary location within the hotspot of desert stays in Wahiba Sands. Likely one of the camps that come closest to an authentic Bedu desert experience. Extremely friendly hosts who are also very efficient and accurate. Spacious tents with private bathroom including toilet and shower (not very authentic, but appreciated nonetheless ;-))

Fantastic location for enjoying the sand dunes. Beautiful tents and seating areas. Friendly staff. Good food.

Lovely tents, good food and great hospitality! While we sat around the camp fire, Saeed took a lot of time to answer all our curious questions about life in Oman. A really authentic experience! Strong recommendation!
