Reviews of Nomadic Desert Camp

The hosts are very friendly, kind and make you feel welcome. They go the extra mile for an immersive desert experience. It is traditional and clean. Couldn't hope for more. We will be back for sure

Everything was perfect from the location, the facilities, the welcome and kindness of all the staff, the delicious food, the comfort! We loved our stay there.

Nothing!

Good stay at the Nomadic Desert Camp. Facilities are rather basic but we slept very well in the tent.

That was the second stay in the middle of a desert and we thought this one lacked a bit of atmosphere. Food could also be improved.

Lovely desert stay

It’s not the deserts camp fall but it’s too hot to sleep at april.

The hospitality was spectacular. We had a really wonderful experience with the family including the sunset camel ride and the full day jeep safari, both of which gave us great insight into life in the desert. We were glad the camp had huts and not tents as they would be too hot. Early April is very hot - would go in the winter next time.

We really enjoyed some aspects of this stay but I do think it would be better to come before or after Ramadan. And although we were comfortable from late afternoon to early morning as there was a breeze, this camp is basic in terms of amenities. No air-conditioning during the day might be uncomfortable, there's no electrical (so no charging your phones etc; no lights in the huts, etc). Bathrooms are separate from the little huts, and the beds were very simple. The food was very good, our host in the morning was lovely and funny and interesting. We enjoyed our stay but, you need to know what the stay is like.

Amazing Camp, very authentic experience. Super friendly host.

Nothing

We loved every moment of our stay, from the seamless pre-arrival communication and warm welcome to the thoughtful guidance on driving in the desert. The hosts take care of everything, including deflating your tires, before leading you in a convoy with other guests to the camp. This is a truly one of a kind experience at the first authentic Bedouin camp ever established. The host family, who have lived in the area for generations, offer a genuine glimpse into their way of life. We also booked the one hour sunset tour, which we highly recommend. Out of all the places we stayed during our Oman trip, this was by far the most unforgettable.

All perfect.

The camp was very welcoming, comfortable and cosy. We arrived in the late afternoon, in time to join a ten minute walk to see the sunset from the dunes nearby, with dates and coffee. All the staff was very kind and accommodating. The food at dinner and breakfast, buffet style, was plentiful and delicious. The huts are cleverly built to let a breeze come through. Each individual hut feels private, but you can also enjoy the communal area and fire pit throughout the day. The shared facilities (toilet, sinks and showers) are clean and not busy (good ratio for the number of guests). You can book activities with the camp, such as camel walks. There was good communication with the camp ahead of time to arrange transfers to/from the camp. We highly recommend stopping there for a night to discover life in the desert.

A beautiful camp in a beautiful location. If you're looking to go quad biking and other obnoxious activities this isn't the place for you. Abdullah and his team run an authentic camp oasis in the dunes, with delicious food and copious amounts of coffee and dates. The sunrise camel ride was fantastic and is a must do. The camp staff are the loveliest people you will meet in Oman and they also have the best sense of humour. If you're looking to experience the desert properly then this is the place for you.

The stunning, peaceful location.

The owners of the camp are some of the nicest, most genuine people you will meet in Oman. They are real Bedouin family and interact with the guests daily to ensure you have a good time. They made me feel so comfortable as a solo female traveler.

The authentic package

Amazing place ! Very welcoming hosts, tasty food, lot of activities, highly recommended to visit !

A very nice and quite camp in the dessert, run by two friendly Bedouin brothers

From my point of view quite overpriced. Nearly 500 EUR for two people for a night in a very basic tent with two hours camel ride and 18 km transfer to the camp feels to me not as good value for money

Real Bedouin experience in the desert. The best part was the walk to see the sunset cooking caffè on the fire on the sand and getting bread prepared traditionally from the fire from breakfast

Perfect organisation and a great location deep in the desert. Very sustainable setting, great, easy and beautiful huts, very little light in the night, which we liked a lot, all very clean. Humied was a very welcoming host, explained many desert facts and made us a sweet little picnic between the camels with fresh karak and dates in the sunset in the desert. We loved his very well kept camels, friendly and strong! We like to warmly recommend this camp!

It was our first desert experience and it was wonderful. The camp itself, the friendly family running it, simple but sufficient facilities and beautiful surroundings.

The staff, the food and the facilities were excellent

Very nice host and nice atmosphere in the camp. Good buffets for dinner and breakfast. Nice bedroom’s huts and shared simple shower and restrooms. All very well organized. Could enjoy a walk in the desert at sunset and look at the beautiful sky after dinner.

Excellent hospitality by the owners! My second stay at the camp and I liked it even better than the first time! If you want to experience the Bedouin lifestyle, I highly recommend this place. The food was fantastic too😋

Superb location, lovely people, it’s basic but perfect. A family owned place that was so welcoming.

It was everything we hoped.
