"Ein schön gelegenes einfaches Camp- genau wie ich dich für eine authentische Wüstenerlebnis!"

10.0

Es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt in sauberen Zelten und schönen Betten. Jedes Zelt hat sein eigenes kleines "Badezimmer". Das Essen war gut und die Betreuung sehr herzlich. Vielen Dank!

"Immersion dans le désert dans un joli camp"

10.0

Le camp est relativement loin dans le désert ce qui permet une immersion totale au milieu des dunes de sable. Nombre de tentes correct en temps normal, davantage le soir où nous y avons séjourné mais ce qui paraît normal pour un 31 décembre. Le repas servi est de qualité et très copieux. La soirée au coin du feu est très agréable. Les tentes sont propres, la literie confortable et les sanitaires, bien que rudimentaires, également propres et fonctionnels. Ne pas hésiter à choisir l'option 4x4 dans le désert qui permet d'aller encore plus loin et de découvrir des points de vue fantastiques !

Esperienza semplicemente perfetta al Desert Camp Retreat. Fin dal momento del nostro arrivo siamo stati accolti in modo caloroso, con caffè, datteri e frutta tipici del posto, facendoci sentire subito immersi nella cultura locale. Il camp offre la possibilità di organizzare diverse esperienze: noi abbiamo fatto il dune bashing, davvero molto divertente e adrenalinico. Inoltre, pur non avendo i quad disponibili direttamente al camp, il personale è stato estremamente gentile e disponibile nell’organizzarsi con un altro camp pur di non farci mancare questa esperienza. Un’attenzione al cliente davvero rara: al momento della partenza la mia ragazza aveva dimenticato un cappellino e lo staff ha fatto di tutto per riuscire a farcelo ritrovare addirittura a Muscat. Consigliamo vivamente questo posto a chiunque voglia vivere un’esperienza autentica nel deserto, con un servizio impeccabile e persone davvero straordinarie.

"Very Good"

7.0

Situato molto all’inizio del deserto, vicino a piccoli insediamenti, ha l’atmosfera del campo beduino, ma nessun comfort ed un costo molto alto rispetto alla media delle strutture nel paese
