Safari Desert Camp

It's a wonderful place! The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing, we felt close to nature and enjoyed the walk with the camels in the morning. The staff was very kind and hospitable. The room was new, spacious and comfortable. The food was very tasty, we tried the camel's milk. We forgot about the bustle and simply enjoyed each moment of being there and the beauty of nature! I hope to get back for a longer time. I highly recommend this place!

My stay at Safari Desert Camp was an unforgettable experience. Nestled among the dunes, the location offers a unique and serene desert atmosphere. The comfort of the beds was exceptional, ensuring a restful night under the stars. The staff were incredibly warm and hospitable, adding a personal touch to the entire experience. Additionally, the food was delicious, with a variety of dishes that catered well to different tastes. Highly recommend this camp for a luxurious and authentic desert experience.

Rooms were quiet spacious with main drawback being restricted electricity availability from 9pm to 7am. Apparently it does not apply to all accommodation, but in our allocated room there was only restricted lighting pre 9pm. Not the case for some rooms occupied by other tour group members. Rooms quiet spacious but no space provided for luggage, and water pressure in shower was ok. Limited variety in provided buffet meals and camel kebab served for dinner was very chewy and hard to digest. Very close to dunes for sunrise and sunset viewings. Overall an interesting experience but one night was sufficient

Located in the heart of the Wahiba (or Sharqiya) Sands, this Camp was reached by us from the north, riding through the desert for about forty minutes. It's perceived as perfectly isolated from other tourist settlements: only a few Bedouin tents are encountered along the road to the camp. I highlight this as a positive feature, as in August 2022, having visited the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan, we were struck by the presence of camps practically in visual contact with each other. As I learn from the previous photos published by the other visitors, in very recent times the camp has been radically renovated as regards the individual houses: they now appear as elegant masonry hexagons, comfortable and finely furnished, connected by tiled paths. Meals (in our case included in the price of the accommodation) are taken in the common pavilion which is in the center of the camp. All around, simply and beautifully, the desert. I mean, the desert of sand, very attractive by its dunes, which loom over the camp - located in a hollow - and seem to want to swallow it sooner or later (I hope the builders have correctly calculated the movement of the dunes). The price of accommodation for one night, for our group of ten people, was 225 rials (equivalent to about 560 euros), including dinner on arrival and breakfast on departure: a fair price. Because of the gorgeousness of this accommodation, we are even willing to forget a flaw such as the lack of hot water on the evening of our arrival.

Extremely impressive experience! We stayed at two tents separate of the main camp and experienced a lifetime stay in the desert being completely alone with our family and just somebody doing the cooking for us for dinner and breakfast. Everything was perfect- starting with the generous Omani welcome, the extremely nice tents, a great and lonely surrounding, great food and impressive day and nights in the desert. Thank you for your kindness and an impressive stay at Wahiba Sands
