Desert Retreat Camp

Literally everything about this place is wonderful. Humaid, the owner, is a fantastic person — warm, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Talk to him, you can learn a lot. His English is great. When we couldn’t find a laundry service, he and his very friendly team simply took care of it themselves. The dune bashing, the camel ride, the sunsets, and above all the breathtaking silence of the desert — everything was exceptional. The camp offers everything you need for an unforgettable experience, something everyone should do at least once in their lives. The bathrooms, beds, and food were all very comfortable and convenient. I stayed two nights and would happily have stayed five more. It’s the desert! If u want aircon and pool and no flies, that’s not your place. But then, u don’t want the desert……;-)

Nothing to complain.

Everything was just perfect : the team, the food and the manager, who is a very responsible, attentive, friendly man.

A very nice and unique stay! The bed and the tent were comfortable. You even had your own private bathroom. The food was delicious and well prepared. The staff were friendly. The surroundings were beautiful! We also did the Dune Bashing activity. It wasn’t constantly high speed, but also a great guided tour through the desert with some explanations and stops. Highly recommended!! So if you’re looking for a unique desert experience in Oman, you can definitely book this stay!

Good communications, easy access to camp.

Smelly blankets, camp location (not located in the dunes), no camp fire option provided. Dinner and breakfast were good but not authentic. Overprice. The whole experience didn't feel authentic. I would recommend another camp within the dunes ideally run by beduins or a luxurious one with all the services. This camp was in the middle of the range, lacking authentic atmosphere with limited comfort.
