    One of the best moment of our trip in Oman. Nice location, nice tents, super host and great activities. We had a lot of fun! My son will remember the dune bashing :)

    Faiz and his team are extremely nice and do a great job. Other camps may be more luxurious, but this one undoubtedly has the best location. The food is great, the tents are cozy - just perfect. We had two wonderful nights!

    Fabulous location, properly into the desert where you could walk to top of a dune at sunset and not see another building. And really comfortable room/bed, with great breakfast and dinner.

    Not really.

    A nice, clean, small camp with personality. The food was fantastic and the service impeccable. The tent electricity is solar powered, and the space between the tents gives you good privacy. You should book the activities they offer, you can decide when you arrive. Pick up was easy, trust is a given.

    Absolutely delightful, small and intimate camp with wonderful views and run by really charming people. They also organise great trips including an exhilarating three hour drive in the desert and a sunset camel ride.

    We stayed 2 nights at Sunrise Camp and had an amazing experience. It really felt like you're in the desert and we much preferred it to staying in one of the large camps as it felt like a more authentic experience. The breakfast and dinner were both incredible, the dinner buffet on the second night was a different buffet from the first night and it was nice to have such variety. We had a sunset camel ride which we would definitely recommend. Overall, the quality of the staff and the scenery made this a fantastic place to stay.

    Far enough from the nearby village, so the trip to the camp itself was an experience; yet there was reliable mobile reception. The camp owner and the team were very friendly and helpful. Tent came with adequate basic amenities and is comfortable. Great breakfast and dinner. The 3hr desert tour we did was very worthwhile.

    The best place to stay in the desert. Special thanks to Idrees for the great breakfast, the dinner, and all the preparations for the stay and comfort among the other travelers. Also, thanks to both Ali for their help and activities—it was the best dune drifting ever. The rooms were very comfortable and beautiful. I definitely recommend it!

    There are people dune bashing all around the clock, even late at night but this is not the owner's fault. They come from other camps. I hope, some authority decides to restrict dune bashing, especially during the night.

    Although this camp isn't far from other camps, it is so well-located in the dunes that you feel alone in the desert. They only have 5 tents which makes staying there a cosy experience. We booked the camel ride, the transfer and the dinner and everything was very well done. We also booked the desert tour and for that one we had Faiz, the owner, as our guide who created an excellent experience for us. He gave us a lot of information about today's life in the desert and he is a very good driver - no dune can stop him! :) Adrees, who works at the camp, is a gem and made us feel very welcome.

    Magical location, attentive staff, memorable stay

    The horrible noise of the quads roaring till one AM in the nearby valley kept us awake and spoiled the magic of being in the desert, but there is not much the staff can do about it. Also keeping the tent close from the evening wind was a bit of a challenge as the velcro provided just doesn't do the job.

    Location is truly magical, it feels like you stepped on the set of Dune. The red sand, the feeling of being in the desert, even the drive there is exhilarating. Being so small it feels private and does not have the "resort" feel of other larger locations, which in my book is a good thing. Tent is comfortable, there is an attached bathroom with a shower and a balcony, what more could one want in the desert? Staff is very friendly, Adriz (hope the spelling is close to his real name) is friendly and warm. Food was quite nice, both breakfast and dinner. We did the camel sunset ride and the sand boarding, both memorable.

    Nothing.

    This campground exceeded our expectation. The location away from other camps, around 10 km inside the desert, up among the dunes. The campground is very private (small with only 5 tents). Amazing dinner consisted of 5 different meals, homemade, really worth the price (7 OMR for dinner+breakfast). Easy to get there (either with 4WD or possible to pay for a ride) because of conveniently located meeting point just outside the Bidiyah.

    Only downside was, that some people drove some cars or quads from 11p.m. until 1am which was super annoying as the noise travelled the whole desert. But it had nothing to do with. the accommodation and maybe we had bad luck.

    Very remote at "the end" of the valley in the desert on a dune situated. The tents are more than spacious and provide really everything you need. I also have to highlight the food, which was really amazing. And afterwards you could have a chat with the other guest (which were not a lot, as it's only 5 tents) at a campfire. The owner is super helpful (he even helped us with our flat tire) and the transport from the meeting point was easy going.

    There was nothing not to like. Only one mini-tiny observation: the floor was slightly un-even and we had to change the position of the sleeping arrangements. But I cannot say this was a concern.

    I liked everything. Great location, fun accomodation, nice host, great breakfast. All was super
