An ancient crossroads of civilisations and cultures, Oman offers intrepid travellers the chance to engage with an Arab country that’s refreshingly humble. Its varied landscapes leave a treat for the eyes, with unspoiled stretches of coastline strewn with white-sand beaches. Mudbrick villages cling to the side of rocky valleys. Soaring mountain ranges are sliced with bottomless canyons, while the great Wahiba Sand Dunes seem to ripple endlessly into the desert. All this is spread across three huge regions. The northernmost is home to Muscat, Oman’s chaotic capital. Here you can find a myriad of old forts, grand mosques and royal palaces – some explorable on foot, others requiring a little more effort to reach. To escape the crowds, take a day trip to Nakhal Fort, a stone-carved citadel found at the foot of the Hajar Mountains. These towering peaks stretch all the way to the United Arab Emirates, hiding riverbed oases and jagged fjords. In the southern region, the palm-fringed beaches of Salalah make for an ideal retreat after the long, dusty journey down the coast. Accommodation options are aplenty here, with a range of hotel resorts and simple guesthouses to choose from in the bigger cities and coastal towns.

Guest review
Our expectations were clearly exceeded. We truly appreciated the authentic feel of the small camp—both in size and style—and were impressed by how comfortable the entire stay was, including a great room, delicious dinner and breakfast, and more. The host was also very friendly, helpful, and communicative, and even organized a sunset camel tour for us.

Alsaif camp in Bidiyah features 4-star accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a shared lounge.
Guest review
We loved our stay here, and everything about it was perfect.
You can book the camel ride for the morning around 9/10am - it was 20 Riyal each for an hour (even on the day your checking out it works out fine)
we also did the sunset dune bashing which was 100% worth it. It was 25 Riyal for an hour.
Both activities were hosted amazingly, and they pick you up from outside your accommodation.
The dinner and breakfast were also nice, and again served at your own private room.
You don't need a 4x4 I used a Toyota Corolla. Just follow the path they share with you.
I would 100% book this again

Guest review
**At this place we stepped into an Arabian fairytale!** The host gave us the warmest **traditional Arabic welcome** with **dates and coffee**. He was incredibly kind—driving us around the city in his own car, showing us the sights, and sharing Omani hospitality at its finest. But the surprises didn’t stop there! He invited us into his home, introduced us to his family, and his wife adorned our hands with delicate **paint tattoos (henna)**. Throughout our stay, he took such good care of us—helping plan our trips, sharing stories of local life, and making us feel like honored guests.
The hotel itself was a dream: immaculate, cozy, and luxurious, with a sunlit courtyard blooming with fragrant flowers. Thanks to them, I didn’t just leave with memories—I left with **friends in Oman**. A thousand thanks for making our journey so magical! We’ll be back!

The camp is very nice. The location in the middle of desert. Bader was an excellent host. He took us in a nice experience crossing the sand and rode camels.

A magical place. At night, they even provide mattresses you can take outside to lie under the stars – such a beautiful experience. The staff were amazing – always smiling and kind. We had a great dinner, thoughtfully wrapped in foil to keep any sand out of our plates.

Guest review
The room was beautiful and super comfortable, with everything we needed. We received such a warm welcome; we honestly felt more at home than in a hotel. Communication was great, and the breakfast was spectacular. For the price, I would recommend this place in a heartbeat. In terms of value for money, I’d say it’s the best option in Muscat. It’s also close to most main attractions
