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
“An unforgettable experience at alsaif Camp! The place is absolutely stunning, combining modern design with traditional Arabian charm. The rooms are incredibly comfortable, fully equipped, and beautifully decorated with a nature-inspired and serene vibe.
We particularly loved the outdoor seating area by the pool, which was both elegant and relaxing, and the pool itself was spotless and perfect for unwinding. The warm lighting and modern touches throughout the camp added an extra layer of beauty to our stay.
The service was exceptional, with a highly professional and friendly team. Special thanks to Ibrahim, the owner, for his incredible hospitality and dedication to making our stay truly memorable.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for luxury and relaxation with a touch of authentic Arabian elegance. I will definitely be returning soon!

Aurora desert camp is located in Bidiyah. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.
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.

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.
