Activities Desert Camp

Only 3 tents in the camping. Like a family. Saleem the owner is a really kind, respectful, helpful and well-mannered omani gentleman! He tells interesting stories and everything about the desert. The bed was perfect. The dinner and the breakfast was the best in Oman. We could not choose better, than this placd.

Nothing.

Easy and in time pickup at meeting point. Very big, new, confortable and warm tent. Great bed. In the camp there are only 3 tents: almost a private one. Intimate atmosphere. Breakfast and dinner very tasty and well cooked. Saleem is a very polite and smiling host, always ready to help and satisfy your request. A special thank to him for all the experiences he let us try, expecially for the falcon reovery.😅 Emanuela and Alessandro

If you are looking for the least commercial desert experience in the otherwise commercialized Bidiyah desert area, this is the place to choose. Salim - an extremely carrying and generous host gives you a unique insight into his country's and Beduin's culture.

Salem the host was a true plus for his hospitality and willingness to make you discover the desert.

Nothing.

It’s nicely put away from the “main” desert road, behind the dune 🙂 Salem, the owner is very friendly and involved! He has a lot of Beduin knowledge to share so just ask him any question, you’ll be surprised by the answer. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. Very comfortable beds, like in luxury hotel 🤗

We had a fabulous family experience with Salem our host. He went beyond all expectations to create a fun and memorable experience. The food was great, the tents are very comfortable and the activities in the dunes were amazing. Thank you Salem for your generosity and hospitality!

We stayed at Clouds Desert Camp for three nights, over a weekend. We disagree with a recent negative review and would hope it does not deter others from staying here, they had incorrect information. - Salem and his colleagues were fantastic hosts with exceptional hospitality. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and provide a genuine Omani experience. - The facilities were clean and well maintained. Our tent included a double and single bed, with provided toiletries and fresh towels. The toilet/shower room is at the back of the tent and is open roof! The bed was perfect and the mattress was medical, so very comfy. - We took part in various activities that Salem organised for us; dune bashing, camel riding, sand boarding, after dinner fire and show, a personal tour to a locals weekend camp and also to meet his family. - The food was delicious. All meals were home made, healthy, carnivore and vegetarian/vegan friendly, buffet style with seconds/thirds encouraged! - If you’re into animals, this is the perfect place to go; we saw many different animals on the way and at the camp, including donkeys, goats, baby camel, horses, Arabian deer and desert hamsters (so cute). - There are many charging points and plugs within the main dining area, so it easy to recharge phones. - Tea, coffee, biscuits and dates are provided during daytime hours in the open top dining area. There is unlimited water in 250ml bottles so need to bring your own. - The camp workers, a Tanzanian and two Bangladeshis, were very friendly, made great conversation and fulfilled any requests that we had. We can’t express enough gratitude towards Salem for providing such a fantastic experience, this has been our most enjoyable holiday, ever. He is very caring, approachable and generally a great human being. We felt honoured to be treated so well and he feels like a brother rather than a tour guide.

I stayed 1 night at Clouds Desert camp and had a wonderful time. The beds are super comfortable, the staff kind and helpful and the scenery is beautiful! There are lots of activities to try, like camel rides and sandboarding.

WARNING! This campsite is CLOSED. You will be booked at Moon Light Luxury Camp instead which is usually cheaper. They will not tell you that it is a different campsite or that you should have paid a lot less. They just hope you won't notice. The photos are of the old campsite. Desert Cloud was closed after the 2023-24 season and not reopened for 2024-25 season because they couldn't afford a government permit. Desert Cloud should have only 3 tents. Moon Light Luxury Camp has 13 tents. Below are the good things about Moon Light Luxury Camp: - comfortable beds - both open air and air conditioned communal areas - hospitable staff even if they should discontinue advertising the other property - delicious food - good campfire entertainment and the dune bashing is fun I still recommend you stay here, the 4/10 rating is to get your attention. I would rate it 7/10 based on the flaws mentioned below.

Please help save the planet and only provide 1.5 litre bottles or a water refill station. - fake grass on the balconies and in the rooms. Why? It's the desert. Traditional rugs are much nicer. - the tents all face the same direction meaning most look at other tents not the sand dunes. When it gets rebuilt next year, the balconies should all face out towards different directions to view the dunes. I still recommend you stay here, the 4/10 rating is to get your attention. I would rate it 7/10 based on the flaws mentioned above.
