    Beautiful and comfy stay in the middle of desert (but with food and activities not a budget one)
    • Leisure trip

    • Tent
    • Stayed 1 night

    The accommodation by itself is cheap, the other services makes it expensive. We payed 13 for accommodation, 10 for pickup, 10 per person for half an hour and for dinner and breakfast also 10 per person. We end up paying 63 OMR for whole stay for two people. But I don't want to complain about it too much, touristy activities always cost a lot of money and for the service provided in the middle of the desert it is acceptable.

    The accomodation by itself is soo beautiful, you stay in the middle of desert, tents are nice, clean and bed are comfortable, there is a common chilling place with tea, coffee and fruits. You have your private bathroom (very simple, but I mean, you ar in the desert!). There are camels around. We used a pickup service and then we rent quads, which was amazing and quite adrenalin experience. We also have dinner and breakfast there. The dinner was huge, there was a lot of chicken and goat meat rice, vegetable, hummus, fries and bread. Breakfast was more simple, egg omellete and toasts, but enough.

    Desert night at its best
    • Leisure trip

    I suggest that solar heaters are placed over the showers. For a cheap investment, the comfort would be much higher. I was little bit disappointed when after returning from desert with our car, that air pumping of wheels back to street-legal pressure cost us 2 rials extra for 2 min work. Dune bashing adventure was rather timid and effectively short.

    Excellent place, excellent stay, excellent adventure. I was a little bit afraid of advertised private toilet and bathroom in the desert, but i was pleasantly surprised. The solution is nice, safe, private and still adventurous :)

    A beautiful place in the heart of the desert, offering a peaceful and cozy atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and attentive, ensuring that our breakfast and dinner were perfectly arranged as requested. The linens and towels were spotless, and having a private bathroom in such a remote location was a fantastic convenience. A truly special and relaxing experience!

    The staff attitude need to change, few of them dont know how to respect customer. The drinking water was not provided in the tent and we had to request manager to provide.

    The Location is good, you can have barbeque there. the stands are available.

    Place is very beautiful and clean , bed is very comfortable. The owner is very friendly and helpful. And camel riding is something special ! I highly recommend to take activities they offer and dinner , it’s tasty . I loved the stay ! It’s desert , so at night can be a little chilly so it’s good to take with you some warm clothes at winter .

    A beautiful camp with a view of the sunset, tranquility, dinner, breakfast, camel and quad bike riding, a safari trip, one of the most beautiful arrangements in this camp. The price is cheap and accessible to everyone. I recommend this camp and the experience of the activities is exceptional.

    The prices for trips and breakfast/dinner are too high. Should be more clear about the cost of taking and bringing back by car and the cost per tent.

    It was super cool to be in the desert. Not too much comfort, but that suits being in the dessert.

    The host should be more upfront on the costs for additional activities. The prices were really high.

    The facilities are very comfortable. The staff, especially the cooking team, worked really hard.

    Amazing camp on the top of a desert dune. Don't forget to enjoy the sunrise if you can. The big shared tent felt so cosy.

    I’d have preferred an Omani breakfast. I don’t expect baked beans and French toast to be traditional. Nor are they a healthy choice.

    Location, accommodation and staff. Waheiba Sands! What more could you want? So beautiful.
