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
Everything was perfect. The staff worked hard to make your stay perfect. The camp is located far from the city in the heart of the desert. The rooms were clean and tidy to a high standard. Dinner and breakfast were very plentiful and delicious. In the morning, Khalid took us on a tour to explore Bedouin life and traditional living up close. It is worth the visit. We hope to return again.

Guest review
The ride to the camp (we took a guide in other car; otherwise no way you find it!), was a magnifecent experience! I enjoyed driving over small dunes!
The welcome to the camp, the food, the charm of personel were all great!
Tent itself was simple, and really authentic. We loved it! It could be that a 5 star demanding guest would be a bit dissapointed, but it was what we wanted to be.
