Hamoods place is one of the most outstanding places I've ever been to. He invites you to relax on the terasse, drink tea, and enjoy the desert. During the trips, you learn a lot about the life there. He shares his experiences, culture, and his personality with you. The sunset and sunrise are stunning, and the food is exceptional. I loved the time there, and I am so grateful for it! Shukran gazilan Hamood!

Hamood is a great host, super friendly and helpful. The camp is nice and small (only 6 tents) so not a lot of people. The food is great, everything is prepared on the spot, very fresh and tasty and many options to choose from. If you are looking for an authentic desert experience, then don't hesitate, book with Hamood!

It was a wonderful experience. The food was very good (dinner as well as the breakfast). Sunrise und sunset are beautiful to watch on the dunes. Hamood did everything to make the stay unforgettable.

I must admit that I chose Hamood Camp based on the reviews on booking.com and it was a perfect choice. Don't be fooled by the slightly lower prices offered by camps at the beginning of the desert. These places are terrible, located along a sandy road, separated by fences, with a view of a dune crushed by cars. Unlike them, Hamood camp is further away, among beautiful dunes, and the nearby camps are invisible, so you can enjoy the beautiful nature in isolation. As for contact with Hamood, it was trouble-free from the beginning. Much earlier, he sent me all the information about the meeting point, meal prices and attractions available during our stay. Everything was clear to me. Even though we were late for the meeting, he was waiting for us and led us through the desert to his camp. Along the way, with a smile, helping us and also unknown people to dig themselves out of the sand (despite 4x4, it's not an easy thing;) Since we were with 3 children, we spent time having fun in the largest sandbox we have ever seen in our lives😁 we didn't take part in any excursions. We were lucky because camels came to the camp, including 3 young ones. There is also a huge swing in the camp where you can go back to your childhood;) Hamood was very hospitable, he cared about our well-being in a gentle, non-intrusive way. He also showed us the best place for a beautiful sunset. Dinner was served in an Omani tent and was delicious, there were various types of meat, including local meat, rice, pancakes, hummus, salads, fruit, etc. After dinner, there was a bonfire, during which Hamood offered us cinnamon tea, told us about the stars and played the Omani guitar. The beds were very comfortable and there are plugs available in the tents. In the morning, a delicious breakfast awaited us: hard-boiled eggs, toast, scrambled eggs, pancakes, pasta, fruit.

We were supprised how well everything was organizes. Hamood is a great host, welcoming. He has talent to create unique expirience and atmosphere, really taking care of his guests. Dinner/Breakfast was probably best we had in whole Oman trip. Varios of different activities also available. we stayed only 1 night, but definately there is to do for 2-3 nights. We would withouth doubt book again and reccomend to others. Desert is magical!

Nothing.

Everything! My tent was quite big and clean. I spent only 1 night so I was entitled to dinner and breakfast. Both meals were home cooked, and the dinner was delicious! There were at least 5 dishes served during dinner. I tried everything; chicken, fish (Spanish mackerel), lamb, salad, cooked vegetables, rice and bread. They also served fruits and desserts. I didn't try the desserts because I was full. The breakfast was also good! It was a healthy and hearty breakfast! Food aside, the highlight of the stay is the host named Hamood. Hamood has an amiable nature. He ate dinner and breakfast together with us, all the time asking and checking if we were okay. He made us feel at home. After dinner, we sat around the bonfire, watching the stars and planets. Hamood, a retired science teacher, happily pointed at the sky explaining the galaxy to us. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience for me. Thank you Hamood and his staff for making my stay memorable!

Hamood treated us amazingly from minute 1 until the end. He picked us up, made sure we were comfortable and helped us organise a sunset camel ride! Food was great, vegetarian options and an endless amount of coffee, tea and dates! Breakfast was also really good, and the location was super nice, tucked away in the sand dunes! We sat around the fire in the evening and he even explained all the stars to us! شكرا!!

Hamood went out of his way to create a magical evening for us. After dinner, we gathered around the fire, singing and listening to the soulful melodies of the Oud. It was the perfect way to unwind and savor a relaxing desert under the stars.

Stayed in January 2025

the only thing that i didn't like is that the phone reception was a bit weak (Ooredoo) and there is no wifi service available, although you dont have to have wifi while experiancing the desert but it is crucial to have phone connectivity for communication matters.

Hamood is an amazing person with a great hospitality and service-oriented mindset. The camp’s location is incredibly calm and peaceful, making it the perfect getaway to unwind and relax. The entire place was spotless, and they’ve ensured a high level of privacy, making it ideal for both families and couples. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene desert experience!

The camp is 20 minutes from the town centre, so in the evening the lights of the town are visible in the distance (nothing to interfere with the possibility of seeing a beautiful starry sky!). However, it remains isolated compared to other camps and in an optimal position because it is located on the dunes and not in the valleys below.

The Hamood camp gave us a wonderful experience. The tents were very spacious and elevated, with comfortable beds and a private bathroom just outside the tent. An excellent dinner in a very intimate atmosphere. The welcome on the terrace with coffee, tea, dates and fruit always available for guests and the evening around the fire watching the stars and listening to the stories of Hammod and his staff. Lots of extra activities for those interested. Highly recommended... Thank you Hamood!

We had a one night stay at Hamood‘s desert camp and enjoyed it a lot. Very nice and polite host! It’s fun to drive into the camp yourself if you have a 4x4. On arrival at the meeting point, it’s possible to choose from different activities if you want to. Dune bashing, camel ride,…etc. I can highly recommend Hamood‘s camp.

Hamood was amazing host, very responsive and the best part is the property was it was on top of the dune so amazing views of sunset and sunrise. all activities were fun and we also had a campfire in the night with Hamood teaching us about the stars (super cool)

Hamood desert camp is such a lovely, peaceful and stunning place at the same time. We stayed 2 nights and I highly can recommend to stay 2 nights as well. Once you arrive you see the beautiful sunset, have a great dinner and spent some time at a campfire. It is worth to get up for the sunrise, then we did the desert tour after breakfast (so delicious, too) which we enjoyed so much. The highlight for us was to see wild camels (we were able to get really close to them) and to spend time in a beduin tent. In the afternoon we made ourselves comfortable in the sand dunes and enjoyed the calmness. We were really thankful to be part of this experience, and also the kindness by Hamood & Khaled made this stay the best part of our Oman trip. Thank you so much to both of them!

The tent was very spacious and included a private bathroom. The beds were super comfortable and Hamood and his family were incredibly helpful in coordinating our stay to make it run as smoothly as possible. Hamood contacted us to pick us up, arranged a meeting point and assisted us in preparing our tires for the dunes. The food was delicious and the sweets and tea at bonfire were the cherry on top! Sunset and sunrise of course were magical. 100% recommended!
