    What we loved about the camp is that it is made by a few tents and it is on a dune. The place is quiet, clean and offers a great experience. Hilal and his brother are the most exquisite hosts we could ask for - caring and attentive.

    I looked for things we didn’t like and I found none: everything was perfect!

    The location was nice. It was far enough away from other camps so we didn't hear any noise, but there were a surprising number of people on the dunes overlooking the camp at sunset. We weren't disturbed at all by them, but it was strange. The camp hosts were very nice.

    The facilities themselves didn't measure up to other desert camps I'd been to in Dubai and Morocco. The tent was spacious but the furniture provided was very "bare bones." The other camps had thoughtful decor and multiple electrical outlets, while this had one outlet that buzzed if anything was plugged in. There were no included activities at the camp. I think there was one sand board and a game of Uno. The buffet meals offered minimal options but was edible. There was also no after-dinner options where other camps had campfires and musicians. We had originally book 2 nights, but left early.

    Property response:

    Hello madam, thank you for your kind visit. Regarding the activities, we have reduced the activities due to the hot weather. Maybe you did not like our humble camp. But for all our visitors for years, the camp was suitable for them to relax and enjoy the beauty of the desert away from exaggeration and luxury. The pictures and information provided to you before arrival were very clear. You should choose what suits you. All our visitors have wonderful comments and they come back to visit us many times. Thank you.

    Incredible family run business - Ahmed and Rashid welcomed us to their camp in their lush desert home, taught us about Bedouin life and made sure we had an unforgettable experience. Easy pick up, 4WD dune bashing tour at sunset (highly recommend), delicious buffet meals, comfortable tents. We wanted to sleep out under the stars and they immediately moved our bed outside for us. We learnt so much about their Bedouin way of life. Please stay here - these people and this place is truly special.

    The camp was nicely located in the dunes, there were some other camps nearby, but not close enough to notice them without walking some distance. The facilities were amazing, tents were simple, yet well equipped and the little private bathrooms (including showers) were just perfect. Sunset camel ride was brilliant and definitely worth doing. Both the dinner and breakfast were well prepared with a large variety of food, we were very impressed by the quality and quantity of the dinner and breakfasts.

    The bed/mattresses were very hard/firm, so was a bit tough to fall asleep.

    Amazing and special accommodation, which you should try once in your life. Camp is quite far from the town and other camps and you need to drive a bit in the desert, which is exactly what we were looking for. It is really tranquil and silent. You can go up the dunes to see the sunset and sunrise. Breakfast and dinner were also very good and filling. Ali was a great host

    The only thing that we didn't like was the bed, it was very hard. But the rest makes up for it

    great location, very good food, they offered us the dinner, one of the last camp before the real desert, it makes it more wild and private, the room was very clean

    toilet outside the tent, arriving at night was quite complicate and very hard to spot on the map but the hotel team was very good to provide a solution

    The location is perfect, breakfast and dinner very fine, this camp gives you the feeling to really visit the desert, while making sure that you have everything you need. Very clean tent, shower and toilet, excellent bed, all perfect. If one wants to experience desert in a very safe and still authentic way, do not book a chalet with pool, book a quality very large tent from a local person, Ali, who grow up himself, with his camels, in the desert, only 2 km away.

    Ali good have done nothing better.

    Great location up in the dunes. Host was waiting for us to drive ahead and we followed (4x4 required). When dinner ended, host started a camp fire. There are 9 tents and we were lucky to be the only guests that day. Host offers camel riding and dune bashing.

    Spacious and simple tents with everything you might need for a night in the desert. There is a beautiful big dune closeby which is perfect to watch the sunset. Lovely staff and owner who took the time to sit with us by the fire and talk about Oman. Food was ok too!

    Can't think of anything
