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
A truly unique experience, one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. A camp consisting of only three rooms. Khalid is a wonderful host. The food is incredibly delicious, the portions are huge, and the Omani hospitality is at its best. The place is breathtakingly beautiful. We were able to watch the sunrise from our room's balcony. If you are looking for peace and tranquility in the desert, I highly recommend this camp.

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. The breakfast was delicious and we ordered dinner and his mother cooked it and it was very delicious. The atmosphere in the camp is family and comfortable. The room is clean and comfy.

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.

We enjoyed the stay so much, such a special place!!
The host was the very best representative for the friendly Omani people. He took us for sightseeing to some beautiful stops to get the views of this old and genuin town, told us about the culture, served us tea and cakes on our little picninc. This was the most special day to remember from our trip to Oman!
We loved the rooms, clean and beautiful, very good beds, you have very nice seating areas outside the rooms, barbeque and kitchen to share with orher guests, playground for children and even landryroom if you need washing your clothes.
Wish we had planned more days here!
Absolutely want to come back for a longer stay!!

This hotel is rather a villa which is perfect for families or groups of friends. Playground and self-catering facilities are very good and the owner / staff are more than helpful.
Spectacular surroundings.

Guest review
Very nice camp out in the desert. With the explanation of the owner it is very easy to find, the drive with a 4wd car was no problem. the camp itself is small and that makes it super awesome. we liked to stay in a smaller camp. Dinner was very very good, we asked for one vegetarian option and it was super delicious.
we had a long talk under the stairs with the manager of the camp and this was amazing. absolutely recommend the camp.

Thank you very much for welcoming us in this beautiful and magical place. It is so lovely and you and your staff are so kind that we feel totally at ease here. Everything is perfect : the room, the food, the wadi. Just one little thing for us tourists : do not put suncream just before going swimming otherwise it does put it in the water. Please put suncream at least 30 minutes before going to the wadi to keep this place as beautiful as it is.
