Kidness and setting... and food

Stayed in February 2025

Unfortunately the owner was away on a business trip so the promised lessons on Bedouin culture could not be had.

From the moment we were met on the road til we finally said goodbye, it was wonderful. They made sure our tires were deflated enough to negotiate the sands and ensured we were comfortable to drive in those sands. The welcome mint drink was refreshing and the food, both breakfast and supper, was delicious. The evening sitting by the fire under the stars was very serene. As a bonus, from our point of view, the other tent on the property was not occupied during our stay so we had in effect a private camp. Getting dressed up as a Bedouin couple on the last morning made for some memorable photos.

We had an amazing private (only 2 tents), exclusive but authentic experience in the desert. Hamad is a super nice host, and we can't be grateful enough for Hassan's courses. The tent was pretty large and comfortable, We wish we could go back once in the future ❤️

Hamad and Hassan were very funny and sweet. We had a lovely time by the fire. Hassan cooked great food for dinner and breakfast. Good value compared with some other places considering dinner and breakfast is included. Room is very comfy, we slept great. Good location, feels very cosy. Hamad is Bedouin and he has some beautiful artefacts to show you and talk about. Make sure you bring cash to pay.

Hamad is a perfect host. He takes care of everything you need and makes your stay a wonderful adventure. Food was very tasty prepared by Hassan who serves you best and keeps the place nice and clean. Despite a little sandstorm and bad weather we had a perfect stay.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bedouin camp. It was special to be in the desert, and since the camp has two tents for guests, it is quite peaceful. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. We stayed there for two nights. On the first night the weather was good and we had a campfire, which was fun. The stars at night are amazing. On the second night it rained quite a bit - though it was fine as the hosts put a waterproof cover on our tent just as a precaution against the heavy rain. We were quite cosy inside the tent. We did not expect it to rain in the desert, but apparently this can happen sometimes over the winter months (we went early March).

The 4WD to the camp was a bit expensive (20 omani rials that is 47 euro). If you are planning to travel by car in Oman I would suggest renting an off road/4WD

I loved the isolated location in the middle of the desert. The staff was smiling and welcoming. I liked that the camp was for 4 people only, very private. After dinner we watched the stars in front of the bonfire

We utterly enjoy our stay. Especially watching the stars sitting round the camp fire 🔥. Hassan cooked very well 👍🏻. Foto shooting with traditional dresses was fun.

Everything was to our satisfaction.

We had already spent a night in a camp in the Rub al Khali which we had reached from Salalah down in the south of the country .That camp's toilets left a lot to be desired, so we were unsure as to what we were about to find in Wahiba Sands. How wrong we were. We were welcomed at the company's office at 15.00 on the dot by Hamed, who spoke near-perfect English, and gave us a short history of the country and its geography. We were then introduced to (another) Hamed who was to lead us into the desert and serve as our host at the camp. He deflated our 4x4's tyres and we drove in after him. After a longish drive through the dunes we reached the camp. It consisted of three tents, one of which belonged to Hassan - the chef- while one belonged to us. It was in an idyllic setting far from civilisation which allowed us to be fully immersed in the bedouin's culture. Notwithstanding the language barrier, the host - Hamed - was exceptionally patient, generous and welcoming. The food was great, the beds comfortable, the amenities clean and the whole activity well worth the price we paid. If anyone is interested in a genuine and immersive experience in Wahiba Sands, then this is the one you need. Thank you for a great time. James.

Nothing to list here.

We had the whole camp to ourselves. The camp was beautifully designed and was very clean and comfortable. Hamad and Hasan took great care of us. The food was awesome.

Everything was perfect.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. Hamed is a kind and gracious host who provided a magical setting and shared his culture with us. Hassan, the camp caretaker is an excellent cook and could not have been kinder.

We like that it is a small camp with two sleeping tents, a common tent for dinner and breakfast, an additional hut and bathroom. So it was not crowded and we had one night all for our own without any other guests around. People here are extremely welcoming! Good authentic dinner and breakfast. We had a great time!

Great camp to enjoy a pure night in the desert. The camp is located at a beautiful dune, it only has two tents so you can enjoy the beauty of the desert away from crowds. The food prepared by Hassan and the general hospitality is outstanding and you can learn about Beduin culture by sitting at the campfire under the stars. If you are looking for an authentic desert experience book here and avoid the bigger camps.

The most friendly people taking care of us: Hamed who drove in front of us and Hasan who served us his delicious food. The ride through the desert was pure fun, the stay in the camp a unique experience. This team is just perfect.

It was a pity that we could hear noise from the village nearby - cars - at night - othe than that - amazing

The attention to detail, the easy booking and meeting point coordination, the friendlyness of the staff, especially Hassan, the location, the cleanliness - amazing stay. Even vegetarian food option for all of us was not a problem!

Great experience, very small camp, tranquility for relaxing. Authentic guide.

A proper trip to the past and experience of how Beduins went on about their life in the middle of a desert… the whole place goes beyond words, on top of so friendly host Hamed and his help Hassan (true wizard in kitchen). Just wonderfull, highly recommended!

Nothing. Too bad we didn’t meet their camels, we will need to come back for more desert experiences.

Very peaceful location, authentic and simple tent in the desert with great hosts.

We felt like honored guests!

Stayed in April 2023

The camp was private - it was like we were the only people in the desert. Our host Hamad indulged us with 4x4 treks through the dunes to look for camels. Hussan , our chef (cook is not enough to describe him) produced exceptional food in the worse conditions! Day 1 there was torrential rain, thunder and lightning. Everyone rallied to ensure we had a dry and comfortable sleep. Day 2 a wind blew up to be a dust storm worthy of a movie! That was joined by a thunder storm that rained red dirt. Again we were kept fed and comfortable by Hussan. We'll be back!

Nothing.

Camping in the desert was one of the most amazing experiences during our holiday in Oman. The campsite is set in an incredible landscape (for a visitor from Central Europe). The hospitality introduced us to Omani cuisine and the people are very friendly. I definitely recommend it.
