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.

Aurora desert camp is located in Bidiyah. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.
Guest review
Our stay at Aurora Desert Camp was absolutely unforgettable. The camp was very clean, beautifully maintained, and ideally located, offering a perfect desert experience.
A special thanks to the host Khalid, whose warmth and hospitality truly made our stay stand out. He went above and beyond to accommodate my wife’s birthday, making it incredibly special. Celebrating New Year’s Eve at the camp was magical — Khalid arranged a cozy campfire and fireworks, creating memories we will cherish forever.
The food was excellent, freshly prepared and delicious. What impressed us the most was how personally involved Khalid was — he personally took guests to all the activities around the area, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of.
Khalid’s genuine kindness, attention to detail, and welcoming nature made us feel more like family than guests. We highly recommend Aurora Desert Camp to anyone looking for an authentic, comfortable, and memorable desert stay.

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.

Royal desert camp offers accommodation in Al Raka. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. A halal breakfast is available at the hotel.
Guest review
Great location out in the desert. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable hosts. Accommodation was really nice, being able to sit on the balcony was really peaceful with great views. Food was also very good. The early evening walk in the desert (which is free) meant being able to see a fantastic desert sunset. Also did the trip to an authentic bedouin camp on the second day which was really interesting and gave a great insight into the culture.
Would highly recommend a stay here at royal desert camp.

Guest review
It is a magical place. Airco makes your room cool and ofcourse warm outside. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant was well taken care of. We did a dune safari tour in the evening and quad riding in the morning. Great experience which all family members will remember for a very long time.
If you are concerned to drive to the domes: this is no problem when you have a good 4x4. Not difficult, not very challenging, adds to the experience

نزل كوفان التراثي Koofan Heritage Lodge is situated on the beachfront in Salalah. There is a terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.
Guest review
Our stay at Koofan Heritage Lodge was one of the highlights of our trip to Oman. It is rare to find a place where history and hospitality meet so perfectly. This 150-year-old house has been lovingly restored, preserving the authentic Omani culture and architecture while providing a unique hotel experience. You can truly feel the history in every corner and every detail.
What made our stay even more exceptional was the incredible service. I want to give a special mention to Suhebur Rahman. He is an outstanding professional who went above and beyond to ensure we had a safe and memorable journey. His warmth and dedication are a true reflection of the authentic hospitality this Lodge stands for. If you are looking for a place that offers more than just a room - but a deep connection to Omani history and a soulful atmosphere - this is it. We are already looking forward to returning to this beautiful gem near Salalah! Thank you, Suhebur, and the entire team at Koofan Heritage Lodge!

Guest review
This place is so beautiful. The garden created such relaxing atmosphere. The playground was the highlight for our kids.
The bed was comfortable and we got an additional mattress too. The staff was really helpful.
There was quite a space in the back yard to hang our laundry.
We drove to the nearby sand dune in the evening. The view was fantastic and there was enough sand for the kids.
