The delicious Arabic Cuisine splendor & attentive service along with live entertainment and Camp Fire under the roof of starry skies you will have ever charming experience once in a life time.
More than 15 years ago, Hamdan Al Hajri, owner of the Arabian Oryx Camp, set out to provide an authentic Bedouin experience for visitors to Oman. In his exact words: "I wanted to create a welcoming environment where I could share the beauty of the desert with my guests. And there is no better way to do that than sitting around a camp fire, listening to traditional music, sampling wonderful food and sharing stories among friends."
The camp is rightfully surrounded by sand dunes, so one does not need to go far to experience the beauty of the desert. However way you want to enjoy the desert, we leave the choice up to you. You may go on a guided tour with our experts to get a view of the most spectacular sunrise or sunset. If you wish to go on a long drive from the camp, we can do that too. We even leave the speed of your travel to your liking: a 4-wheel drive or a camel train, you choose. This way, you get to have full control of your authentic Bedouin experience.
