    Outside Beach chairs or any other equipments would be a great add on to enjoy the great night moments outside watching the sky. The transfer from the parking to the hotel is a bit expensive for the short ride (20OMR) but they bubble are so affordable that it’s compensating.

    Everything ! I really (really) recommend this amazing place. The staff was so kind. We booked the pickup (as we didnt have a 4x4). They were super comprehensive even if we were a bit late. The ride is short before reaching the hotel (5/10mn). The landscape just amazing (you’ll offer an unique experience to you and your kids). The bubble rooms were great, clean and well equipped. We came in the low season, they cooked only for us. We thought it would be something quickly made but it was really delicious, from A to Z so I strongly recommend to order the dinner, it’s worth it !!! We booked 2 bubbles for 2 adults and 3 kids and we all finally slept in one as the experience was amazing. Finally, the WiFi was super strong in our rooms. In conclusion, you’ll love your experience in this hotel !

    I usually don't book new properties but I ended up taking a chance with this booking since it was a glamp in the middle of the desert. It was totally worth it, starting from the ambience to the facilities to the amazingly huge spreads of dinner and breakfast. My friend had an injury and they even gave us their own medicines. The dune bashing was okayish but apart from that, it is just the perfect stay.

    PRO TIP: Before driving into the desert, in the city, deflate your tires at the nearest gas station (should be free, an automatic machine) to about 17-18 PSI. This will help your car move better in the desert. Middle of June, We stayed for 1 night in one of the tents. We were the only people on site because it is the off-season. Temperatures ranged from 28 to 45 degrees. It was hot, but it was a very surreal experience. Before even arriving at the camp, our car got stuck in the sand because we did not deflate our tires. The manager of the property promptly responded to my cry for help and dispatched a worker who arrived within 20min to take me to the resort. After, they helped us get our car unstuck within 5 minutes. The service and hospitality were impeccable. The food (added separately, breakfast and dinner) were both delicious! We did the dune-bashing/sunset activity for 30 OMR (for a group, total) which was absolutely amazing. would highly recommend this place, 10/10.

    A Peaceful Desert Retreat with Stunning Views I recently stayed at this wonderful hotel and couldn’t be more pleased. The location is absolutely perfect—nestled in a calm, quiet part of the desert, offering a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The view from my room was breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset. Breakfast in the morning was a real treat—fresh, delicious, and with a wide variety of options to suit any taste. What really made the experience special was the staff: warm, welcoming, and always attentive to every need. If you’re looking for a serene getaway with great service and a beautiful setting, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely be returning!

    Great place in the desert(5km south from Bidiyyah town). Room was clean, well maintained, with stunning view on the desert. Dinner and breakfast were very tasty with very good service from the restaurant team. Special thanks to Minaj and Paci at reception and coffee shop, resourceful guys, you can count on them.

    I can easily call this one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. The accommodation was perfect and the resort was able to provide us with plenty or activities. The places is perfect located mear the dunes, but still close to the city. I love how they have a cafe and have full tasty meals for every part of the day. The meals were fresh and of great quality. I'm happy to say they were prepared with care as if dining at a proper restaurant. I'm suprised at the price, because this was worth more then what I paid for. I hopfully can be back again next year!

    I have to write a bad review here because we arrived in cars. One day before arrival, we were informed that we needed to be picked up because our cars didn't have the right tires. It cost €40 for a round trip, which was a maximum of 10 minutes. When we drove the route, we saw that our cars could have easily made it. It was a tough trip and definitely doable by car. We felt ripped off. This information should have been provided beforehand. The beds are extremely hard.

    The location and the view were truly beautiful. The man at the coffee station was very, very nice.
