I never imagined the experience would be so fulfilling. Staying in the desert is more than just an adventure – it’s about surrendering to the vastness of the dunes, the purest silence, the countless stars, and above all, the hospitality and vision of the young entrepreneur, Ali. His camp, Thousand Stars Desert, is simply a ten out of ten. Located deep within the Wahiba (Sharqiya) Sands, surrounded by untouched dunes, it offers only two fully equipped tents, which makes the experience truly exclusive. The fact that there are only two rooms transforms the place into something unique and deeply personal. I can’t imagine traveling all the way to the desert to be surrounded by tourists. Here, it’s just you – alone with the desert, or perhaps sharing it with one other lucky guest. My tent had a huge, incredibly comfortable double bed – as good as, or even better than, any five-star hotel. The interior felt completely cozy and inviting. At night, the temperature drops, but Ali has thought of everything: the bedding is perfect, and nothing is missing. The bathroom is just a few steps away, fully equipped and spotless – shower, toilet, bidet, mirror, toiletries – everything works perfectly. You genuinely feel at home, and then you realize: I’m in the middle of an immense desert! Next to the tent, there’s a raised platform – a sort of private viewpoint – with soft mattresses and cushions where you can lie down and watch the end of the sunset. For the beginning of it, you should climb the dunes themselves. The views are breathtaking: you can watch the wind slowly shape the sand, and later, under the night sky, a dazzling display of stars appears in complete clarity. Camels wander nearby, their silhouettes visible on the horizon at sunset or dawn – curious and gentle presences that complete the scene. When night falls, torches are lit throughout the camp, guiding your way.

Everything, the view, the facility, everything’s perfect!

The camp is the perfect place to disconnect and relax after a day exploring the mountains. Both the staff and the food were amazing. I would not hesitate to come back!

Camping in the desert was one of the most amazing experiences during our holiday in Oman. The campsite is set in an incredible landscape (for a visitor from Central Europe). The hospitality introduced us to Omani cuisine and the people are very friendly. I definitely recommend it.

Quiet location, comfortable tent & great meals from Sadiq & Farhad. We totally enjoyed our first desert glamping experience! Just note though power is from a generator so charging powers in the tent are only working after dinner till about sunrise.

Perfect spot to enjoy peace and beauty of the desert. Bungalow was comfortable, with a bath tub and big bed. Food was very delicious. Only cost of driving to the spot and back is a bit expensive - more than 80€. But all in all perfect experience.

Perfect place in the dessert. Great service with pick-up option. Sun down watching, food!

Obaid, the owner of the tent, is an excellent Omani guy who was willing to help us all the time. The check-in process was easy, and the tent and bathroom was clean. The food in the dinner was excellent. The night bonfire session was awesome, where Obaid shared the fascinating Bedouin tales. Breakfast was good too. Milking and feeding goat was a unique experience and that was made more valuable by the helpful staff there who taught us how to do that. We missed the sunset moment, as we were late to reach the camp. but the sun rise moment was awesome. The camp is right besides the dunes. We also booked the desert safari trip at additional cost, which is done by Abdullah - son of Obaid. He is skilled driver and the best part was that he taught us how to drive in the dunes in our car. This was like the unforgettable part for me as a driver in the sand dunes. Obaid sent us the location to the camp and direction map using maps.me. Google map doesn't provide the right drive location. Would recommend his advice to follow the route and you can reach there without any guide in your 4x4 vehicle.

The camp is located between stunning sand dunes where you can go watch the sunset, sunrise or the beautiful starts at night. The drive with our 4wd SUV was made easy thanks to Nasser’s help, and that drive itself is already a memorable experience. We were alone in the camp, being still low season, but we were greeted with a tasty dinner and breakfast, comfortable beds, perfectly working shower, friendly staff… unbeatable value. There is also the possibility of sleeping under the stars in a platform with mattresses and pillows.

We felt like we were bilioners for one night, excellent house and the best views
