    Bathroom was a bit smelly (maybe because of the recent floods), but also, it’s the desert!

    A great place to experience the dunes while feeling secluded from others. Our family loved playing and exploring in the dunes, and watching the sunset and sunrise. We even saw camels grazing in the dunes. The dinner was delicious and so was the breakfast! Having tea under the stars was another highlight. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

    There were flies in the room - I don’t think this is the property’s fault however. Breakfast could offer more variety

    Staff were lovely and helped us to retrieve our rental car keys that we had dropped. Dinner was tasty and of good variety. Location is excellent - right in the middle of the desert. Rooms are well furnished, clean with a nice outdoor area to relax and have breakfast

    Zip line broken. AC in tent quite drippy. Window at top of dome covered. .

    Location is fantastic - well away from other camps. Domes are very comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful. Kids loved playing in the dunes and were delighted with camels wandering about. Transfer prices very reasonable. Trip to Wadi Bani Khalid was amazing (needs 4 hrs).

    The breakfast was mainly salty, and too many eggs. We would have appreciated more sweet options like croissant, biscuits, cakes.

    We loved the place, the people we met there, the incredibile athmosphere of the desert, the comfort of our room. We had a great dinner and a tea later under the stars.

    It ended too soon!

    The bubbles are awesome! That’s a once in a lifetime experience, seeing the sunrise and sunset from the desert really make your experience great. Ac perfectly working, we switched off during the night because was pretty well ventilated with the windows open. Breakfast was served directly in the patio and you can enjoy the view wick was terrific!! Ahmed the owner was very friendly, we asked for a transfer back and forth to the camp. HIGLY RECOMMENDED!! - DRIVING IN THE DESERT CAN BE REALLY DANGEROUS IF YOU’RE NOT USED TO DO IT !!! but Hamed made it a really funny experience for a first timer like us. In the main time he explained all the little secrets from the life in the desert. By the night after a delicious dinner we reunited with the other guest on the “terrace” talking about our holiday and experiences and drinking hot tea. Ahmed made it very smooth, we were like a big family. If I’ll ever get a chance to come back I’ll choose his bubbles once again. During the return trip he stopped by a Bedouin tent as a present for us. He explained how they made it and how they live in and of course we had coffee together. KEEP DOING LIKE THAT AHMED! And remember the pen/pencil for the note book! ;)

    Stunning location it felt like you were on another planet. Push the boat out and book the Saturn room and you have an uninterrupted view of the sand dunes and vast expanse of desert in front of you. Really liked the invite to the platform after supper, chatted to both brothers about Omani life gazing at the stars

    Our tent had a hazy view out. The bathroom was small and smelled a little. But really I'm nitpicking.

    The camp is located inside the desert and requires a 4x4 to access. The site is magical and the tents are luxurious and well appointed. The experiences are also very apt and engaging - dune bashing, camel rides and gazing at starry skies while listening to the owner tell you stories of life in Oman. The staff was also extremely helpful. Overall a night that will be etched in our memories for ever.

    Memorable, one-of-a-kind experience in the middle of desert.

    The water supply in the huts could be improved as it drops down to a trickle at a time, especially hot water. Also, dinner was fine but more variety and slightly better quality meat could be considered.

    This is a camp in the Omani desert and the location and facilities met all the expectation. The camps offer a one-of-a-kind experience and offers all comforts and amenities - the rooms are all solar powered and offer interrupted power. We rented two huts and they were both very comfortable. They offer pick-up and drop-off facility but we drove there accompanied in our 4x4 at least on the way to the camp. A memorable experience. Breakfast was fantastic and they allowed us to stay over the check-out time which is truly appreciated.

    It got quite cold at night but the "hot" function of the AC was either not working or not available

    Amazing experience in the desert. The rooms are very comfortable with A/C, nice beds, a small but clean bath and an amazing atmosphere. We had dinner at the common room and a great breakfast at our dome. The kids were happy to play around and very amused by the occasional visit of camels.
