We booked a deluxe tent on the website for late Dec. Additional activities do not have to be pre-booked but many of the popular activities fill up quickly so it is advisable to pre-book if you want a specific time. Communication with the team was excellent with an accurate pin sent for the location. The camp is easy to find just off the main track. Arrival and check at reception were easy. They have an electric cart to move people and luggage around the site which means it is very safe for children to walk around and play. The tents are exceptional. Big, clean and well equipped. We had a shower and flushing toilet attached! At the back of the camp there are sand dunes maybe 200ft high, they can be climbed (or driven up) for a beautiful view of the surrounding area at sunset. The food was excellent with options to eat inside or outside. Inside tables fill up quickly so you may want to great early or wait until one comes free. There are plenty of tables outside. Again the level of service from the camp staff was excellent during meal times. The tent came with a small fridge, a kettle and air conditioning. There were a few mosquitos around but piff paff was provided and a few short sprays before bed solved it. While it was very warm during the day the temperature dropped at night and it is worth packing a long sleeved top/jumper for sitting outside when the wind picks up. The activities were well organised and ran throughout the afternoon and the following morning. Some activities prefer payment in cash and there are no ATMs nearby. Overall an amazing camp, well organised and staffed by a professional and impressive team. We will definitely return. Sent from my iPad

The location was amazing. It’s only 2 hours away from Muscat. I would recommend rent a car to the meeting point Ibrahim or his brother will meet you at a location 15 mins away you CAN NOT access with out proper off roading vehicle. It was i thin 5-10 Oman dollar. The high way from muscat to Bidday was extremely easy to drove to.

I spent alot of time researching the desert camp options and chose Rashid's because it ticked all the boxes for us...small camp - only 4 tents for a more intimate experience, reasonable prices for everything, elevated tents so not on the ground with creepy crawlers, private bath inside, comfy beds, good food, good reviews of the owner host for a welcoming and enlightening experience. The stay exceeded all of my, already high, expectations. also, some camps are just barely in the desert and some are many miles in, this was a lovely distance in. Rashid made us feel like honored guests and family. He wants his guests to feel at home and was open to all questions about his homeland and culture. He taught us so much and also loved to hear and learn about our homeland and lives. The food was incredible as well. We went dune bashing to collect some of the plastic I was so sad to see in the desert by my request. He took us to see camels and there were new babies. Whoever you choose to stay with please honor the desert and collect your garbage. But don't miss the opportunity to stay with rashid! We arrived as strangers and left as honored friends!

Everything was just perfect! The owner is incredibely courteous and funny. Food delicious, additional entertainments above my expectations. There is pick up from the nearest village available so you don't need to have 4W car. 11/10 I deeply recommend this place!

We had an amazing experience there. We were traveling in two families - 4 adults and 3 kids - and Desert Star Team did an amazing job to assure exceptional service during our stay in a truly authentic desert camping experience.

My wife and I began to consider our options as we followed a stranger in a foreign country into the empty desert to stay at a camp we weren’t sure truly existed. Sure, Oman has ridiculously low crime rate, but the possibilities of what awaited us were endless. After a 20 minute drive through bedouin camps and an empty sea of sand we were relieved to find the camp as pictured on the site. However, shortly after setting up for bed, the camp was hit by a storm which was extremely rare to the area. I stood there for 30 minutes holding the pole of the tent from inside, so it didn’t collapse on us, as the rain and wind pattered the canvas. If I could go back in time to the moment we started our journey… I would do it a million times over. Thousand Stars is a passion project started by Ali and his companion, and cared for by a truly honorable and wonderful caretaker - Sadam. It is not a 5 star resort run by a board of trustees with millions of investment dollars. It is 3 men, who put their blood sweat and tears into each and every night. We started the evening off by having tea, coffee and fruits with Ali and discussing life. Shortly after, Ali ensured we were comfortable and left us to be. We were the only couple there that night so we had the whole camp to ourselves. There are usually 2-3 tents available per night. My wife and I spent some time chatting under the moonlight, but called it early as we saw a storm approaching. Sadam was working hard to cover the dining tent with a tarp so that we could be comfortable while eating dinner. The storm came, and yes, there was a short bit of time where I had to hold the tent up but this was no fault of the camp - just nature. Despite the storm, Sadam trekked over to our tent from his to make sure we were ok. Right after the storm ended I heard the roar of a car. It was Ali again, who drove all the way back just to make sure everything was ok.
