“Authentic desert camp”

An authentic campsite at the end of the valley, traditional huts, amazing food and charming hosts! We recommend the camel ride! A real moment to unwind and enjoy nature!

A dream location, impeccable services, and thoughtful touches that make all the difference. The sunset camel ride is pure magic… an experience that stays in your heart

“Highly recommended! The staff is great.”

Fantastic, authentic-feeling property. If you want a tranquil night or two this is the place to come, away from those who cannot go without excessive tourist infrastructure. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds and plenty of sheets/blankets to keep warm at night. Delicious cooked dinner and breakfast exceeds expectations given the remoteness. A short 5 minute wander from the camp and you’ll feel like you have the entire sands to yourself. The staff are very attentive and friendly, happy to chat as long as you are.

“Great stay in the desert”

Food was excellent

I picked this place because it was properly in the desert, run by a Bedouin family and with no internet access. I wanted to see the desert sunset, the desert stars and some camels and that’s exactly what I got.

Beforehand the communication was good. Since we couldn't make it in time for a pick up, we drove to the camp ourselves. With the help of Google, it's really not a problem. You'll need a 4x4 though. The camp is nestled between the dunes. The huts are simple yet comfortable. Dinner as well as breakfast were delicious. Vegetarian and vegan options were available. Rasheed and his family were great hosts.

“Beautifully peaceful night in the desert but was it truly an authentic experience?”

The peace and quiet at night, the starry sky and the hospitality. Just being there in the desert having steadily approached it over 3 days travelling from Muscat was an unforgettable experience. Homeid, our host was welcoming and with good English, so communication was easy.

“Fantastic desert stay”

This camp is in a beautiful location well into the desert. Unlike many of the other camps the comfortable huts fit in with the environment - built of wood and palm leaves and using traditional textiles. Solar power provides enough basic light but otherwise you can experience the magic of the desert night sky. The communal area for eating etc is also very attractive and the food was delicious. The staff were fantastic and all the guests clearly enjoyed the various activities offered - sunset walks, camel rides, trips through the desert by jeep, We learned a lot about the life of the Bedu . I cannot imagine why anyone would want to stay at other camps with facilities like swimming pools and electric light glaring at night. If you want to experience the desert properly then definitely try to book this camp - it was the first to be established and I’m sure it’s the best

“Worth the trip 👌”

Quiet and calming staff. Nice place to relax and enjoy the dessert

The hosts are very friendly, kind and make you feel welcome. They go the extra mile for an immersive desert experience. It is traditional and clean. Couldn't hope for more. We will be back for sure

“Good stay at Nomadic Desert Camp, which offers basic facilities.”

Good stay at the Nomadic Desert Camp. Facilities are rather basic but we slept very well in the tent.

Lovely desert stay

“Thoroughly recommended.”

The hospitality was spectacular. We had a really wonderful experience with the family including the sunset camel ride and the full day jeep safari, both of which gave us great insight into life in the desert. We were glad the camp had huts and not tents as they would be too hot. Early April is very hot - would go in the winter next time.

We really enjoyed some aspects of this stay but I do think it would be better to come before or after Ramadan. And although we were comfortable from late afternoon to early morning as there was a breeze, this camp is basic in terms of amenities. No air-conditioning during the day might be uncomfortable, there's no electrical (so no charging your phones etc; no lights in the huts, etc). Bathrooms are separate from the little huts, and the beds were very simple. The food was very good, our host in the morning was lovely and funny and interesting. We enjoyed our stay but, you need to know what the stay is like.

“Authentic experience in the Oman desert.”

Amazing Camp, very authentic experience. Super friendly host.

We loved every moment of our stay, from the seamless pre-arrival communication and warm welcome to the thoughtful guidance on driving in the desert. The hosts take care of everything, including deflating your tires, before leading you in a convoy with other guests to the camp. This is a truly one of a kind experience at the first authentic Bedouin camp ever established. The host family, who have lived in the area for generations, offer a genuine glimpse into their way of life. We also booked the one hour sunset tour, which we highly recommend. Out of all the places we stayed during our Oman trip, this was by far the most unforgettable.

“Magic moment in desert with Nomadic”

Great desert experience as a family, lovely 2-hour camel ride, early wake-up for sunset, very friendly staff, comfortable night, good dinner and breakfast

“Comfortable and relaxing stay in the desert”

The camp was very welcoming, comfortable and cosy. We arrived in the late afternoon, in time to join a ten minute walk to see the sunset from the dunes nearby, with dates and coffee. All the staff was very kind and accommodating. The food at dinner and breakfast, buffet style, was plentiful and delicious. The huts are cleverly built to let a breeze come through. Each individual hut feels private, but you can also enjoy the communal area and fire pit throughout the day. The shared facilities (toilet, sinks and showers) are clean and not busy (good ratio for the number of guests). You can book activities with the camp, such as camel walks. There was good communication with the camp ahead of time to arrange transfers to/from the camp. We highly recommend stopping there for a night to discover life in the desert.
