    The hospitality was spectacular. We had a really wonderful experience with the family including the sunset camel ride and the full day jeep safari, both of which gave us great insight into life in the desert. We were glad the camp had huts and not...

    We really enjoyed some aspects of this stay but I do think it would be better to come before or after Ramadan. And although we were comfortable from late afternoon to early morning as there was a breeze, this camp is basic in terms of amenities....

    The camp was very welcoming, comfortable and cosy. We arrived in the late afternoon, in time to join a ten minute walk to see the sunset from the dunes nearby, with dates and coffee. All the staff was very kind and accommodating. The food at...

    A beautiful camp in a beautiful location. If you're looking to go quad biking and other obnoxious activities this isn't the place for you. Abdullah and his team run an authentic camp oasis in the dunes, with delicious food and copious amounts of...

Property information

Nestled within the golden dunes of Oman's Sharqiya Sands (previously known as Wahiba Sands), Nomadic Desert Camp is run by a local Bedouin family and one of the first established in the region. Our barasti huts and sitting areas are built from palm-tree leaves and other natural resources. Lighting is provided by candle light and solar energy, making Nomadic Desert Camp a unique and environmentally friendly retreat to experience authentic desert life. Each barasti hut comes with comfortable twin beds and bedding, with shared al fresco showers and toilets available for use. In the evening, we welcome guests to join us around the camp fire for Omani tea and unspoiled views of the night sky.
