Desert Retreat Camp

Very good location far from the other camps, very kind staff and very good food for breakfast and dinner. Warm welcome from the owner of the camp.

welcoming staff, great food, lost in the sands, tour in the sand dunes, generating own electricity with solar energy. we were with another group of 3 friendly people from Germany. perfect time

nothing it was just perfect, despite the clouds which did not enable to watch the stars but were a blessing for the local people (only 1-2 days per year)

Authentic nomadic style tents in a secluded area next to a large dune. The location was perfect to watch the sunset and sunrise on the dune but also could you easily drive yourself back to the village near the desert! It was easy to get there as a meeting point at 3pm was arranged and then you could decide if you would like to go by your own car (totally recommend if you have a 4WD) or pay for a pick-up. The owner was super friendly and greeted us with tea/ coffee and snacks and shared some information about Omani traditions. We booked a camel ride for the morning (10 OMR per person) and were picked up (free dune bashing included) to go camel riding at a nearby camp - we loved it, was very much fun! Dinner and breakfast was good as well with many vegetarian options!

Nothing really - very authentic and thus we were fine with cold showers! ;)

Excellent staff, tasty and plentiful dinner and breakfast, wonderful location.

The bedding, towels, and the mosquito nets need updating.

Authenticity, personal touch, friendly staff, stunning and amazing views, silence, private bathroom, impressive to watch the stars during the night, beautiful to see the sun go down. Amazing food, both for dinner and breakfast.

All was fine, a suggestion could be to make the outside seating a bit more comfortable.

We appreciated that the desert camp was very simple (only tents, electricty only in the evening for the main tent). It was superbly located next to a big sand dune. The manager and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Simple, but very good food. The place was easy to find (some 15 km from the main road) because the son of the manager expected us at the office at the main road who lead us to the camp (that we reached without any problems with a SUV without 4x4). We booked a breathtaking one-hour-tour with a 4x4 car through the sand desert at sunrise.

Everything was excellent.

Location!!!!!! Fantastic, stunning. Staff was very helpful.

Beds in tent (hard!) and ablution block (not clean).
