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
Our stay at this desert chalet in Oman was absolutely exceptional. The host is spectacularly kind and incredibly attentive, always ready to help and responding immediately to any question we had. The apartment itself is beautiful—spotlessly clean, wonderfully decorated, and extremely cozy. It truly felt like a perfect oasis in the desert. Highly recommended!

Starry Domes Desert Camp offers air-conditioned accommodation in Bidiyah. Boasting room service, this property also has a restaurant and a terrace. Each room is equipped with a patio.
Guest review
The location is really good, right in the middle of the desert with great views of both the sunrise and sunset. It’s about a 25-minute drive from Budiyya, so it’s a bit out of the way but still easy to reach.
The stargazing activity was a nice experience — there were lots of stars visible, and the guide shared some interesting information. Dinner was also good, with a mix of grilled meat, rice, and vegetables.
Overall, it’s a quiet and relaxing place to spend a night in the desert.

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.
