Reviews of Rashid Desert Private Camp

Perfect location, staff was amazing and very friendly.

Everything!!

Great location with only 4/5 tents. Good food, and cool activities to do (even with a young child). Rashid and everyone in the team were really nice.

We had a wonderful stay at Rashid's camp. It's a beautiful, quiet and magical place and Rashid is a fantastic host. He's kind and very helpful, the food was great and we laughed a lot together. We will definitely return! Thanks so much Rashid.

Amazing location! Beautiful dunes all around. Our host, Rashid, was extremely kind and helpful (and funny!). Our family had a great time - we explored the dunes, the big swing, and had a camel ride in the morning. At night, the sky was FULL of stars which we enjoyed while sitting next to a fire. Dinner and breakfast were incredible! Amazing chefs and hosts at work here.

Amazing experience. Left our vehicle at meeting point and paid for return trip transport which was definitely the right choice. Others who drove themselves found driving on the sand and changing road challenging and followed us out on departure. All the staff were great and really wanted everyone to have the best experience. Sunsets from the dunes, tent accommodation, food all great. Didn’t try the shower set up, very basic. Tour to the Bedouin house, camels on the roadside, expert driving through and down the dunes, night time scorpion walk - all amazing. We missed the part in the communications where payment was cash only at time of departure but were able to go to an ATM on our return to the meeting place and take care of payments

Location, cleanliness, food

Due to Ramadan/Eid it lacked the personal touch from the camp host that other reviews raved about.

The camp is fabulous located in a remote location, far from other camps! Rashid is very welcoming and helpful! The dinner and breakfast lead by Samir, were delicious. I highly recommend this camp!

Excellent stay in the desert! The location was along the edges of the best dunes in the area, so sunset spots are right at your doorstep. The room was clean and comfortable. Dune bashing with Rashid was an amazing and thrilling experience! But the stars were Mr. Salim (cook) and Mr. Jaffer (caretaker) who ensured that the guests had an amazing experience at the camp! Highly recommend!

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

We loved everything about our stay! Rashid is a very hospitable and fun person to be around. The food was great, both breakfast and dinner. The staff was very helpful and kind as well. We could've spent there longer than just one night, surrounded by complete serenity :) Do not hesitate to book this place!

Everything was perfect!

Excellent location with just 5-6 tents, Rashid and staff, their hospitality, spacious tent, simple but yumm food

You are far away enough from other camps that you feel alone. The tents are ultra comfortable and the food was magnificent. Rashid is the nicest host ever.

Rashid Desert Private Camp in Bidiyah, Oman, offers a perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and warm hospitality. The spacious and clean tents provide privacy and modern amenities, with stunning desert views. Rashid, a very humble, nice, friendly, and funny host, along with his welcoming staff, including Salim, who cooked delicious meals, ensures a memorable stay. Guests can enjoy sand dune bashing, ATV riding, and camel riding at a decent price. Sandboards are available for free on the premises for an extra thrill. Rashid even took us for an exciting scorpion hunting experience, adding to the adventure. The camp offers breathtaking sunset and sunrise views over the dunes, creating unforgettable moments. Evenings are made special with a cozy campfire under the starry sky, and there’s even a swing on the premises for guests to relax. Delicious meals are also provided at a nominal price. For those without a 4x4, the camp offers pick-up and drop-off from Bidiyah, making it a hassle-free and authentic desert retreat.

Fantastic to be in the desert straight after a long flight. The food was good.The trip out with Muhammad was excellent . loved seeing the scorpions under UV light at night. Good place to look at stars The owner is very friendly and helpfull

The bathroom was basic.The toilet cistern cover was broken and fixed with silicone.

If I was going to move anywhere I think I would move into Rashid’s Desert Camp permanently 😂 Loved it! The hospitality, the kindness, thoughtfulness, conversations. The tent was fabulous! Towels are provided, the beds are super comfortable, and there are chairs and table if you wish to sit on your very own patio area. The location is further into the desert away from the busyness of the other camps that are closer to the desert entrance. And it is in the dunes too. The food was superb and plentiful! Being a small camp it was perfect for having the company and conversations of other people there, or finding a quiet place to simply ‘be’. Walk to the top of the nearby dunes to view the stunning sunrise and sunsets. Other activities are available such as Dune Bashing, camel rides, quad bikes, and other options by arrangement. Just perfect, and my deepest regards and gratitude to Rashid and all the others for such a memorable visit.

Nothing. If you are looking for true authentic experience (as opposed to a resort type non authentic one) then this is the camp to chose for sure!

It was such a pleasure staying at Rashids Camp! We booked two nights and had a wonderful time there. Rashid is an excellent host with a very good heart and a lot of humor. The staff is very helpful, they cook every day freshly for their guests and the camp is perfectly located in the desert. The tents are very spacious and well equipped for all the basic needs you have in a desert. And whats to mention on top is that you can use sandboards for free and if you like you can do a short tour at night where Rashid will show you some fluorescent scorpions..;) We highly recommend Rashid‘s Camp!

7kms from the meeting point -15 minutes by their 4x4 . There were 6 tents -ours was huge -comfortable bed - our own flush toilet, shower and basin. Fan which we didn’t need because there was a gentle evening breeze. Colder than the day but still 17 degrees C. Seats and table to sit out looking at the sunset over the dunes. Rashid and his family were friendly and welcoming. The real star was the chef-fantastic buffet for supper and another for breakfast. Really great experience-a must do for everyone lucky enough to visit Oman. Thank you.

Rashid desert camp is the best way to live the desert! Great people (Rashid and all his staff were fantastic) beautiful camp and delicious food.

Noteworthy details Rashid (owner) and his brother (Mohammed) are a real treat, charming, knowledgeable, helpful, funny..... Salim (cook) and Gaffer (his helper) are gems in their own right. Attentive when guests eat and always ready to help. Food and drinks Salim (cook) and Gaffer (his helper) do everything, plenty for us vegetarians and also many choices for those that prefer meat. Rooms You sleep in a large tent ... but in a bed. Shower is available and works. It is simple comfortable, very quiet and I slept like a baby. In fact it is so quiet, you might hear a needle drop. Nearby activities The camp offers dune bashing - having Rashid and/or Mohammed drive their vehicle up and down the sand dunes with you as a guest. Another activity you can choose is visit beduins and ride a camel. You might enjoy riding a quad over the dunes. PS. Just relaxing on the veranda with a glas of tea and dates can be fun as well! Safety Very safe. Walkability Walk around as much as you like.... use the boards to slide down the dunes if you want more action. Hotel highlights Luxury, Great view, Quiet, Child-friendly, Great value

There was nothing I did not like, except leaving!

Polite, friendly owner and staff. Isolated, uncluttered location.

Good hospitality, great host, and lovely service. Loved dunes bashing in a jeep. Rashid and his team were welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay.

Nothing to complain about.
