“Next to main road”
We chose this place because it was accessible by 2w car. It was a compromise I would say. Dinner was great. Our room was nice and clean. Staff was friendly.

“Excellent, just excellent”
The deluxe room was extremely nice with a big window and a nice view at sunset. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We got a bottle of zero-alcohol sparkling wine as a gift for Valentine's Day! Dinner and breakfast were very good. Location at the edge of the desert, but easily to reach with a 2WD.

Cabin and staff were awesome. Not very deep in the desert but you could easily get the feeling of it.

“One of the best stays and experiences of my life.”
One of the best stays and experiences of my life. The place is spotless and right next to a big dune. You can hike in the dunes for sunset. The hotel can be reached by a normal car - you dont need a 4x4. That is the biggest advantage. There is a asphalt road that runs near and the last few hundred meters can be reached by a dirt road. We booked a breakfast and dinner packet. The food was very yummy, and the quality and quantity was more than sufficient, actually we could not even finish half of it. Perhaps, it would be nice if they reduce the quantity a bit and give extra, if needed. The staff is lovely, and were always present to help us with any queries we had. The chalets are well kept and have AC for the summer months. All in all - simply an amazing place.

“Amazing experience”
Great location. You can get there even with a front wheel sedan. There is paved road almost to the entrance gate. We still managed to get stuck when leaving: the staff helped us dig out. The Staff helped us bring our luggage to the cabin and back to the car. The room was perfect: spacious and clean. Supper and breakfast are very good. The only thing there were no vegetables for breakfast (tomatoes or cucumbers). The dunes start right behind the camp: you just climb up and have an amazing experience. Camel ride is somewhat expensive compared to what we paid in Morocco (1 hr 30 omr).

“Accessible and friendly place to stay near the edge of the desert”
Accessible by 2wheel drive. Static houses rather than tents, which we preferred, but still able to get up on the dunes and see the desert.

“Great desert experience”
The room was comfy and clean, the personnel was kind and absolutely available and the position is great, as it is not too deep in the desert and it is easy accessible. The structure also proposes activities in the desert (dunes riding with suv, camels riding, suv to access high dunes for a great sunset)

“A perfect base to explore a sandy desert and/or relax.”
Located at a base of a red-colored dune range, many cottages have large verandas with fine views of a valley between two dune ranges and magnificent sunsets. The cottages are large and well equipped (large comfy nathroom, aircon...) there's almost no furniture, but the luggage can be placed on the carpets on the floor. The breakfast and dinner are basic, but OK. The personnel if very nice and polite. We were upgraded to a better room at no adiitional cost at a low season.

While the camp is great, the location is not good. If you're just having a quick stopover night, then ok. But for tranquility, stargazing, and quietness, this place is an utter disaster. Car noises, SUVs running around with exhaust noises so loud during the whole night and early morning! Also, bright lightes from the street in front are so annoying. Food is ok but not great. It's definitely overall overpriced. The only good thing is you're right at the dunes behind you where you can easily walk up to the dunes landscape. The positive side is that the room was really nice and comfortable and the bathroom is modern with a hotel like standard. Also the staff were absolutely great and attentive.
