    Reception. When we asked the hiking trails names and where they start - both guys at the reception immediately offered hiking instructor. When we said that we don’t need an instructor and prefer to go alone, the answer was “We are reception, we don’t know the trails”. Well, I think (as a hotelier I know), that’s it’s a not a good FO approach to withheld common knowledge about the area. This said, it’s easy to find all track details online and enjoy hiking and rock climbing without “mandatory” instructor.

    Good camping & BBQ option, rooms are good and clean, bathroom though is freezing.

    I went with my two boys and we had a fabulous time. The location is superb— beautiful environment and very quiet. The cabins are simple but comfortable and include a shower and toilet. If you go in recognising that it’s not a four star hotel, but rather a very comfortable camping experience then you’ll have a fabulous time (i.e the water gets trucked in, rather than piped, so don’t expect a high-pressure shower). But it’s important to thoroughly read all the emails that are sent in advance to avoid being disappointed because you do need to bring either your own food or pre-order food 48 hours ahead. We were fine with that and stocked up on the way. Charcoal and firelighters were available on site from the shop between 9-6 pm

    The cabins are surprisingly comfortable and well-equipped. A short walk up the Wadi we were enfolded by the rugged beauty of the mountains... a one-night stay is way too short!

    I will be back. I enjoyed nature, the time spent interacting with the instructors of different nationalities (Gabby, Ramil, Roy). Perfect place for a safe hike within a fairly controlled environment. My only problem was transportation to and fro the location, but that was not within the scope of the camp.

    It would be better to have a sign on the roadside about 2 kilometers before the entrance to indicate the upcoming destination, as it’s currently easy to miss

    The room was surprisingly clean, and the staff was prompt with their cleaning service. The barbecue and bonfire facilities were excellent. The accommodation is located just a bit ahead of the Hidden Oasis parking area, making it very convenient for travel.

    Everything was great but I think they can do more with respect to food at the property. Also, they only sell water and soft drinks and can expand that to sell a few more snacks / quick bites. But, if you go prepared it’s a lovely place for a unique stay in the mountains.

    Great location and vibe. Super comfortable given the location and uniqueness of the stay.

    The menu to get food is slightly overpriced. But if you ask in advance you can make a choice to buy food before you get to the campsite.

    Great location and facilities, next to the hills and Jebel Jais. The staff was very helpful with hiking in the area. Facilities were great and room very comfortable.

    Can't fault it!

    This camp is an amazing location and consists of a number shipping containers converted into cabins. Our cabin was pretty spartan, but it had everything we needed, and even a shower (with good water pressure!) and a toilet. We brought our own food and grilled it on the barbecue right outside our doorstep - please note that there is no food available in the camp, other than what you bring (or order with them ahead of time, but even then you have to grill it yourself). The cabin was super clean, and even the barbecue was in great order including the grill grate, which was as clean as new. The location and the views around are something else. The hiking trail we needed started straight from the parking lot of the camp, so it was absolutely perfect!

    The only thing that was not organised properly is the delay with the booked food for bbq as dinner and the breakfast. But anyways still OK hence, next time for sure we know what to bring to eat..

    The staffs were all great, a few of them I can recall, like Wendy, Gabriel and Tim, if I'm not mistaken, our rock climbing instructor.. All friendly, accommodating, approachable and helpful.. The camp is great. Well maintained.. Air-conditioned .. The bbq place is also amazing.. my first time to lit a charcoal for bbq so it's really great experience.. One must try any activities before leaving the camp. I can see that sometimes this place is better than some hotels. If you are looking for some new and challenging experiences this is the right place for you. I highly recommend it to friends. And for sure, we will come back again ...

    You have to be a little carefull carrying the collapsible boxes of crockery as they collapse easily. As it is a BBQ self catering camp, I think charcoal BBQ should be included instead of having to carry charcoal around. Would recommend taking a mosquito spray. My room was mosquito free when I arrived but there were a couple in the room by 2300.

    Location is ideal for outdoor adventure and Jebel Jais zipline. Room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. A well organized self catering, glamping experience. Description is clear on expectations and this is followed up by the staff prior to the visit (ie, it is self catering with private BBQ facilities and use of a shared galley). Receptionist was very helpfull (to the point of letting me have some milk that I forgot even though it is not available to buy). The site is very quiet with no noise at all due its location and having a telecoms mast nearby the wifi/phone signal is excellent accross the camp. Many activities available onsite (however I stayed as I was heading th the zipline) and many walking trails so it is very easy to get away from the hubub of the city.

    Not much. Just decide if you want to stay 1 or 2 nights and think of activities at the camp and in the area ahead

    Clearly above the expectations: comfortable, fun. Make sure to hring your food, water and charcoal: you can get it in the venue, but getting your own is cheaper. Rock climbing and hiking activities are fun!
