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.

Our stay was an incredible experience of complete serenity, a perfect break from the world in total isolation and peace.
A huge highlight was the exceptional kindness and hospitality of Khaled, whose warm welcome made the entire trip special.
The evenings were magical, culminating in a beautiful moonlit campfire where we were treated to fascinating explanations of the stars. It was a truly memorable and enlightening moment.

Guest review
Great place. Calm, comfortable, modern in the midst of the beautiful nature of the surroundings, and also near to the restaurant street of Al-Hamra. Excellent location to reach all the main attractions of this area of Oman (Jebel Shams, Nizwa, Bahla, etc.). And the best for the last, Ahmed (an his friends), a true example of arabian warmth and heartful hospitality.

The camp is very nice. The location in the middle of desert. Bader was an excellent host. He took us in a nice experience crossing the sand and rode camels. The breakfast was delicious and we ordered dinner and his mother cooked it and it was very delicious. The atmosphere in the camp is family and comfortable. The room is clean and comfy.

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
Staying at Starry Domes is an experience that will stay with you for life. There is an intensity to the desert, particularly at night, that is sublime; the complete silence, the stars, the endless dunes, and waking in the morning to animal tracks and realising that the silence is populated. Stunning.

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.
