We welcome you to Sand Delight Tourism Camp. We offer exclusive luxury tented accommodation in the exotic sand dunes of the Bidiyah desert. The camp is located 215 km from the city of Muscat. You will enjoy the Omani heritage and culture in our camp with modern comforts in a beautiful and peaceful seclusion. The camp is an ideal place to explore Omani desert life, culture and beautiful wildlife and gives you a stark and contrasting desert experience. The accommodations and services we offer are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the serene desert atmosphere. Sand Delight Tourism Camp is designed in the style of a traditional desert village with state of the art facilities. The camp has stunning open spaces, where you can watch gorgeous sunsets and sunrises over the dunes. You will feel that you are living life within the Bedouin culture in our camp.
We are a work team from one family who live in the town of Al Wasil. We know the region well. I worked in desert tourism and camping before the year 2000, and I have experience in the terrain of the region, dealing with it, and the customs and traditions of the citizens here. It started in Sand Delight camp in 2009 and developed gradually.
Wahiba sand desert in Oman is one of the most beautiful sands in the world, high sand dunes, close to the archaeological Al-Wasel fort, Al-Mantrib fort, Wadi Bani Khalid, Ibra market
