Beautiful desert resort
Wonderful desert experience. Loved that they had nightly movies showing on a big screen outside with chai and popcorn. The communal space was pretty. Most guests stay only one night; because we stayed two, it was a quite quiet in the middle of the day, and a long stretch to wait between breakfast and dinner service,

We enjoyed our stay at the camp. The staff were all great and the rooms were really good. We would like to stay there again. I hope in the future they have more activities.

It was literally 4 miles into the desert. That made it awesome. However, the ambience was negligible. The staff wore t-shirts with the company name. Some ethnic appearances and music would have added a nice touch. The food was adequate with the grilled meats tasting of charcoal. Nothing special about this place other than the location. It's really too bad. It has great potential but needs some guidance and enthusiasm

The desert camp were not expecting us, although we had booked through Expedia. We were asked to contact the camp 48 hours before arrival and despite sending two emails asking for directions I had no response from them. Luckily the attendant at the petrol station gave us a map to find the camp. Our welcome at the camp was lukewarm and we didn’t feel that this was a true Omani desert experience.

Beautiful....value for money !
Very beautiful and scenic place with good food and complete value for money....however the signs to the camp need to improve as we arrived after dark and found it difficult to find the turn from the main road.

Génial
Quel endroit génial, dans le désert. Tout est au top. Les hébergements, le confort, le personnel, super repas très varié, et un petit déjeuner plus que parfait. Tout le personnel est tellement souriant et sympathique. Et accès en haut d'une dune, pour un coucher de soleil magique. Vraiment génial.

Campo nella media.
Gradevole la posizione in mezzo alle dune. Servizi in generale efficienti. Mancanza di protezioni per il vento durane i pasti (sabbia in bocca). Buono il Car Bashing. Pasti così così.

Die Anreise wäre auch selbst möglich gewesen, ich habe aber den Abholservice genommen, da ich keinen AWD hatte. Es standen auch Autos ohne AWD auf dem Parkplatz, aber die erste Auffahrt in die Wüste ca. 200m ist schon anspruchsvoll. Der Abholservice war pünktlich und ist mit 100Km/h durch die Wüste gefahren. Das Camp liegt sehr schön an einer Düne, ist nicht überlaufen und das Essen war sehr gut für die Gegebenheiten. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber wie auch die ganze Anlage. Eine Übernachtung reicht, ich habe zwei gemacht und den Tag einfach genossen ohne Ausflüge. Ansonsten kann man auch Quad fahren (ca. 500m entfernt) oder Kamelreiten etc.
