An ancient crossroads of civilisations and cultures, Oman offers intrepid travellers the chance to engage with an Arab country that’s refreshingly humble. Its varied landscapes leave a treat for the eyes, with unspoiled stretches of coastline strewn with white-sand beaches. Mudbrick villages cling to the side of rocky valleys. Soaring mountain ranges are sliced with bottomless canyons, while the great Wahiba Sand Dunes seem to ripple endlessly into the desert. All this is spread across three huge regions. The northernmost is home to Muscat, Oman’s chaotic capital. Here you can find a myriad of old forts, grand mosques and royal palaces – some explorable on foot, others requiring a little more effort to reach. To escape the crowds, take a day trip to Nakhal Fort, a stone-carved citadel found at the foot of the Hajar Mountains. These towering peaks stretch all the way to the United Arab Emirates, hiding riverbed oases and jagged fjords. In the southern region, the palm-fringed beaches of Salalah make for an ideal retreat after the long, dusty journey down the coast. Accommodation options are aplenty here, with a range of hotel resorts and simple guesthouses to choose from in the bigger cities and coastal towns.

Guest review
If you are looking for an experience in the Bidya Desert in Oman, this place is truly the best. Both dinner and breakfast are delicious, and the camp owner is incredibly kind. At night, you can enjoy a campfire and stargazing.
Thanks to this place, I have come to love Oman. The accommodation with the desert view was also very comfortable and nice. I also really appreciated the quiet atmosphere as there are no other camps nearby.

Alsaif camp in Bidiyah features 4-star accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a shared lounge.
Guest review
Just at the border of the desert and the quiet was our absolute favourite thing.
Quietness of the place itself but also in the room, being it soundproof.
Loved having the little outdoor space all by ourselves as well and a big bathtub.
The room was huge with a very comfy bed and couch.
Staff was amazing as well. The manager, who also speaks perfect English, went above and beyond to help us.
Couldn’t have been happier.

It was not only the accommodation, but also the host, Mr. Ahmed, which made our stay extremely pleasant and comfortable.
We are Romanians, and we have this mentality that, when someone comes to your house, to put everything you have on the table. It was exactly the same with Mr. Ahmed that went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Guest review
A place I will definitely return to! The Sand Camp is beautifully designed and very well maintained, offering an authentic and comfortable desert experience. Badr, the owner and manager, was exceptionally friendly, cooperative, and genuinely attentive to guests’ needs. His assistant was also extremely helpful. Many thanks to both of them. The camp is perfectly located in the heart of the Biddiya sands—clean, welcoming, and truly enjoyable.

Our room was beautiful; very charming and clean. We were suprised that it was quit specious. The bed was super comfy (we had great 2 nights sleep). They even provided board games which was appreciated by our little son. The staff was so friendly; the food was also amazing considering we were in the desert. We would highly recommend this accomodation!

Mr Hilal welcomes you in his cool 4x4 Orange Rubicon Jeep at the pick up point and you know you’re going to have a good time! The camp interiors live up to the photos . Everything is spic and span and even though you’re in the middle of the desert you feel right at home! A clear 5 stars! Speaking of stars , we were lucky to have a clear night and had a beautiful Milky Way display at night!
