“Perfect desert experience”

Literally everything about this place is wonderful. Humaid, the owner, is a fantastic person — warm, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Talk to him, you can learn a lot. His English is great. When we couldn’t find a laundry service, he and his very friendly team simply took care of it themselves. The dune bashing, the camel ride, the sunsets, and above all the breathtaking silence of the desert — everything was exceptional. The camp offers everything you need for an unforgettable experience, something everyone should do at least once in their lives. The bathrooms, beds, and food were all very comfortable and convenient. I stayed two nights and would happily have stayed five more. It’s the desert! If u want aircon and pool and no flies, that’s not your place. But then, u don’t want the desert……;-)

“Perfect - I would not hesitate to come back.”

Everything was just perfect : the team, the food and the manager, who is a very responsible, attentive, friendly man.

Location was ok

“Very nice!”

A very nice and unique stay! The bed and the tent were comfortable. You even had your own private bathroom. The food was delicious and well prepared. The staff were friendly. The surroundings were beautiful! We also did the Dune Bashing activity. It wasn’t constantly high speed, but also a great guided tour through the desert with some explanations and stops. Highly recommended!! So if you’re looking for a unique desert experience in Oman, you can definitely book this stay!

“Well deserved desert experience after climbing the top of the dune”

location in the desert with sand dunes the good english of the manager of the camp and his ability to talk about Oman country beyond basic business small-talk

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A suspended moment between earth and sky. Our stay at Desert Retreat Camp was simply magical nature in its raw, Untouched Beauty. The view of the open sky at night doesn’t need any advertisement; it speaks for itself. My 4-year-old daughter had never felt so free and happy. No internet, no phone, no distractions ... just pure simplicity. Everything was perfect. The owner was incredibly kind, patient and communicative, and the staff were always present yet never intrusive. Leaving was truly hard I felt free, calm, and deeply at peace. Highly recommended for anyone who wants something real and wishes to rediscover the true sense of priorities. 🌌

“The host was very nice and accommodating, all went well.”

“It’s rare to find such an authentic, sustainable retreat that stands the test of time while continuing to offer an unpar”

“Great place to experience the Sands”

It’s a LICENSED camp, which means they have a license from the Ministry of Tourism to run the camp and lease land from the government. The location is great - underneath a huge dune that you can climb and admire the views. The views from the dune and stunning especially at sunrise and sunset. It’s quite far from the towns at the edge of the sands and from other camps, which means it’s really quiet there - sometimes all you can hear is wind. The owner is very nice and hospitable, as are the staff. The food was great, with a lot of vegetarian options.

“Nice stay”

Location of the camp

“I would not go back and neither would recommend the place to anyone looking for that little extra”

The location of the camp is exceptional and we really enjoyed the closeness to the dunes, as you could just walk out and climb them on foot.

Very friendly staff. Good dinner.

“A truly unique experience”

This camp is great for everybody who wants to get an authentic yet comfortable (NOT luxurious) desert experience with delicious food, outstanding hospitality and a forever-lasting experience! Both the staff and owners are tremendously friendly - we would come back any time!

“Really local service and desert experience”

Exceptional staff and resort, Though it is really simple, this was what we were looking for. Local tents, local food and enjoying a night in the dessert. It was great to share time with the owner. The staff looked after us very kindly.

“Go for it. Top retreat. Back to the basics.”

The owner is a very humble and kind person. Booked two nights with bed/breakfast and dinner. It is genuinely a basic infrastructure, that is what is caters for. If you like the basic style, top. If you want luxury and air-con, book one which offers it. This retreat lives up to its name. The employees incredibly friendly. Having a shower under the stars, wonderful. Walk up the dune to view, sunset or sunrise. No artificial light at night, roaming camels. We booked a day tour drive through the Wahiba Sands desert to the Indian ocean with the owner (self-drive). This was fantastic if you love the desert, driving in sand, dunes and a superb meal of king-fish biryani. It is a long day, but believe me worth every penny and second.

“Horrible. Old, very hot and mosquito infested place.”

Nice staff

Great location and very authentic. At the foot of a huge and beautifull dune. Very friendly staff.

“Quiet camp in the dessert”

Very good location far from the other camps, very kind staff and very good food for breakfast and dinner. Warm welcome from the owner of the camp.
