    Nothing! Everyting was amazing! Just and advice if you want to enjoy silence - don't book when Omani's have the days off - they like to race and play loud music, so it can ruin the experience

    It was an amazing experience! The tent was super clean and spacious. The view was spectacular. We asked the host to pick us up from the city and it was a good decision. If you don't have experience driving on the dunes don't even try :) The camp is bit futher from the city and you feel like you're alone on the desert. I recommend taking the dinner.

    Since everything runs on solar power, they don't have AC plug points. I couldn't charge my camera batteries. The dinner 5 OMR per person is expensive. Same for pickup drop in their 4WD from Bidiyah ( 5 OMR one side. ) This should be complimentary.

    Absolutely out of the world experience. The campsite is Surreal. The high tents are amazing. Wonderful view on all sides. Great,helpful staff. There's a very cute camel at the site.

    For the cost, I cannot really highlight anything that I did not like about the property. It offers an amazing experience for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend

    The camp was in a fantastic location in the desert completely surrounded by dunes. The tents were extremely comfortable as were the beds. I slept like a baby. The outside toilets/showers were whopped you would expect from camping experience but perfectly usable and not a problem. The camp itself was very spacious and the tents were located some distance away from each other giving that feeling of isolation to some degree. The staff organised a variety of different activities which looked to be at a reasonable price. The camper staff are able to organise a transfer from a local village into the dunes if you only choose to hire a two wheel drive car. It looked to be just about possible to get to the camp with the two wheel drive car but not for the fainthearted, and would require a good degree of confidence

    We enjoyed everything. We even experienced a storm in the desert. It was something unforgettable. Due to heavy rain we were asked to postpone our stay. As compensation we got a better tent. Which was very convenient due to the above-mentioned storm. For an additional cost, we had an amazing dinner and breakfast. They also offer transfer to the camp in case you do not want to drive there yourself. Just be aware that the bathroom does not have a roof.

    Showering water is pretty cold especially in the night, but this is probably the same across other camps, so be prepared!

    The location is great. You are in the dunes and there aren’t too many tents around. Dune bashing was fun. The food was pretty good and the staff was very kind. I would definitely recommend this camp

    Everything was just perfect. The place is amazing, the staff so incredibly friendly. We were explained by a really amazing Bedouin guy loads of things about their culture and life in the desert. Loads of conforts which nearly sound like sci-fi, like being able to take a shower in the desert and charge your phone via Usb. The included breakfast was abundant and really top quality. We had an amazing day there! I would give 11 out of 10 if possible.

    No major negative points. Very happy overall.

    Lovely hosts, very responsive and gave us an upgrade. We did dune bashing and sunset tour for 25 OMR, which was a great experience. They gave us tea and donuts whilst watching the sunset. Dinner and breakfast was tasty. We were able to reach the camp with a 4x4 using google maps.

    Very comfortable beds and mattresses which you don’t find often, the owner and staff were very helpful and we had great communication. The dinner and breakfast had many and tasty selections. We didn’t have a 4WD so we asked them to pick us up from a nearby location and return us the next day. Not a negative but something for people to be aware of. There are only USB ports for charging in the tents which is normal considering the location. We had a power bank with us so we were good for a day. We couldn’t charge our iPhones because they require too much power but again, this is normal and expected. We loved our stay, we’d definitely visit again🙂

    After checking many reviews and places this was a right place to experience desert camping. It was a really great experience. Very welcoming host, clean tent so as access to private toilets and showers. We would love to repeat our stay again.

    The transfer from Al Mintarib is provided but with additional fee. There was some misunderstanding with the camp's staff on the hour of the check-out so we ended up waiting half an hour for the transport back to Al Mintarib. But the ovarall impression was great.

    Great location - our tent was on the top of the dune providing fantastic views at sunrise (but not only). The interior of the tent is nothing fancy but comfortable and charging via USB is provided. Bathroom - in the desert sun or under the stars :-) Very good food. Camp is rather quiet. Additional attractions (like dune bashing or camel ride) available onsite. Friendly hosts. Bonfire after the dinner is a great idea.

    I must highly recommend Moon Light Camp for everyone who is looking for the real desert experience in Oman! The tent is beyond my imagination. It was very clean, tidy, especially the bed is very cozy! We booked the dinner and breakfast as well. Trust me those are super valuable! There's a solar USB charger inside the tend so don't worry about the power. We enjoyed the sunset, sunrise. Don't miss the night starry sky! That will be one of the most memorable experience in your life!

    We loved every minute, but we think having something to put your bag on in the tents and some outdoor chairs would go a long way! This obviously wouldn’t stop us from recommending the trip.

    Such a special stay. Communication was brilliant and friendly, pick up was easy (Mintrab castle, 5 rial/car) would recommend as the drive was amazing and great to chat and take pics. Dinner was delicious (5 rial pp). Lots of activities to choose from, but we just relaxed and soaked it all in. A fire to end the evening. A quick note, we came after a rare bout of bad weather, but big thanks to the team for communication and helping us plan our trip. We also couldn’t believe how clean everything was, especially after the rain!

    Dune bashing was 25OMR and pick up was 10OMR, which I felt was expensive. No plug sockets, only USB

    All the staff were very friendly. Complementary tea, coffee and dates were served. Rooms were surprisingly good for the middle of the desert.

    We had a city car, for this reason we could not go to the desert. The hosts give you an appointment at the Bidiyah Castle and take you there by 4x4. The place is amazing and the room is clean and comfortable and spacious with breathtaking view. They took us to watch the sunset on the dunes, a very funny experience. The dinner and breakfast were also excellent and diversified. Hosts were very kind and the after dinner as well with the campfire. Also, not that expensive compared to others in the area.
