“An unforgettable stay”
Being far away in the desert, the place had a special atmosphere and the accommodation was both practical and in harmony with the peacefulness of the nature. The cottage had everything we needed - including private bathroom, warm water and electiricty. The breakfast and supper prepared by the staff were delicious.

“Across Wahiba Sands to the coast - true desert experience”
In spite of very tough weather - frequent rainstorms and flooding, we had a memorable stay The staff, especially the manager, Mr Ali, super supportive They handled well non-trivial questions - i basically wanted to go across Wahiba Sands in my 4WD - and we spent time studying the map and navigation - then we agreed on safety protocols - so i report passage through the desert at a certain point - all worked very well - and Mr Ali was not only super informative and but also very responsible

“Nice silent camp”
A small camp with just 5 houses, located far enough from other camps to have your own experience. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the rooms spacious enough. Food was buffet style, both for breakfast and dinner. For getting things done in the middle of the dessert, I was more than happy with the quality and amount of food. The man staffing the camp itself gave tips about sunset and sunrise, which was nice. Beds were really nice! Enjoy the silence, that's what this call is meant for in my opinion.

“The best choice if you want peaceful and unspoilt desert scenery.”
A fabulous night. The camp is located deep into the desert and the ride in over the dunes was part of the fun. It was very peaceful, with only 5 rooms and a perfect setting up on the dunes. We could discard our shoes for the duration of our stay, and had wonderful sunset and dawn walks up into the high dunes directly behind our room. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Great staff, very helpful and the food was really good. We enjoyed the serenity in the desert and really liked that there are only very few rooms.

“If you want peacful experience in the desert”
Perfect spot to enjoy peace and beauty of the desert. Bungalow was comfortable, with a bath tub and big bed. Food was very delicious. Only cost of driving to the spot and back is a bit expensive - more than 80€. But all in all perfect experience.

“A unique desert experience under the starry sky”
We came to Safari Dunes Camp just after having spent a night at Thousand Nights Camp. I liked it very much there, but Safari Dunes was much more to my taste regarding contact with the desert. Safari Dunes is composed of only five huts with a central hut for restauration and an annex for the staff. To me it was the true desert experience. We enjoyed sunset on top of the dunes nearby, with nobody around and only the sand, the wind and the sky to stare at. The staff is very reduced but of exceptional quality. Fahrad, the manager, is quite the philosopher, but with a hint of British humor. He shares gladly his experiences and describes quite well the overall philosophy of the Camp, which I would summarize as "enjoy the place, the privacy and the passing of time". A philosophy which is nonetheless sustained by a strong material asset: Malek, the cook. The dishes he prepares for the evening and morning buffets are all more than delicious and in largely sufficient quantity, combining typical Arabic food and fresh fruit and vegetables. Of course Farhad can organize activities for his guests, but to us the programme I just described in a few words was enough for body and soul ! Both Fahrad and Malek speak a perfect english and I want to thank them quite heartly for their hospitality !

“An oasis to remember forever”
The breakfast was perfect for the location - bear in mind, you are far into the desert here....and there is a deal further to go..! We were looking for a peaceful stay and we certainly got it. Whilst it is easy to look at a photo or watch a documentary pertaining to desert environments, nothing can prepare you for the beauty and stillness that awaits you. It really is one of 'those moments' in one's life. We also had a lovely dinner at the camp - and given we were the only guests (in July), we had the undivided attention of our host Farhad, who could not do enough to make our stay a memorable one. He is very dedicated to his role here - his greatest desire is to see guests happy. Thank you Farhad. Remember this camp is all about peace, but if you want a camel ride or go to a BBQ or even dune bashing, they can be arranged for you. There is a 2nd camp around 8km away I should add that we were blessed by rainfall in the morning shortly before we left the camp.....a quite surreal experience. It was for my wife and I, a spiritually uplifting experience and I would urge you to go here, should you find yourself in Oman - speaking of which, I do not possess the vocabulary to describe the utter beauty of the country and of the openness and friendly nature of the Omani people. There is something truly special about Oman and we have every intention of returning next year. The heat is quite intense in July but it is also low season in terms of tourism, therefore very few tourists as one would expect. If you are dithering and considering whether to go to Oman and to the Safari Dunes Camp, then dither no further - go to Oman and go to the desert.

“Great experience in the desert.”
The room was big and the dinner/breakfast excellent. Our staff was very friendly and helped wherever he could. We could book an additional camel ride at 5am before breakfast and they were on time. Beautiful camp located on top with a view.
