Luxury Desert Camp Oman

Air conditioning

May is too hot for the desert.. 47 degrees

Peaceful and beautiful place. Staff were great and we had the best breakfast! The place is easy to find but out if the main tourist areas so really quiet. The room was beautiful and facilities ate great.

The bed was not comfortable.

È il più distante, quindi molto silenzioso. Eravamo da soli. È sicuramente molto diverso da altri campi in cui sono stato. Le camere sono comode e spaziose. La cena buona e abbondante. Non avendo una 4x4 ci siamo fatti venire a prendere, il tragitto molto bello sebbene un po' caro....40 Riad per andata e ritorno... comunque il deserto è sempre una esperienza unica...

Niente

Le calme, la disponibilité du personnel.

Rien

Il campo tendato è sicuramente uno dei migliori della zona, la camera é carina considerato che siamo nel deserto

I servizi e il personale non sono all’altezza soprattutto considerando il costo elevatissimo delle attività. La cena per due nella tenda non la consiglio abbiamo mangiato male

Unterkunft hat eine des ruhigsten Lagen im dortigen Desert. Frühstück ist sehr gut und auch das dortige Personal sehr bemüht auch wenn die Verständigung schwer ist.

Die Kuppeln heizen sich in kürzester Zeit ziemlich auf, es gibt keine Klimaanlage was man sich in dieser Preiskategorie erwarten kann. In der Nacht ist es dafür drinnen kalt. Das vegetarische Dinner besteht aus zwei Beilagen des Fleischgerichtes, hier würde ein Tofu das ganze etwas besser machen. Sand Skating ist nicht wie auf den Bildern angegeben mit eine Board sondern mit eine Schneebob.

Posto stupendo come da foto. ultimo camp il cui gia' il viaggio i. 4x4 x raggiungerlo costituisce un'esperienza. vicino a dune molto belle.

Costro spropositato ai servizi e livello di pulizia nonche' la colazione davvero basica. costo escursioni addizionale e' molto elevato. attenzione al pagamento via carta per cui viene richiesta una commissione sproporzionata

Lo staff è gentilissimo e accogliente, il contesto nel deserto è molto affascinante

Il rapporto qualitá/prezzo decisamente eccessivo, in quanto tutto i prezzo (pasti, attivitá, tenda…) sono troppo ti-caricati rispetto al servizio offerto

Das am weitesten entfernte Camp, Alleinlage, WLAN, sehr gutes Essen, sehr persönliches Willkommen, mitten in den Dünen, problemloses finden per 4x4

Etwas zu hell trotz Neumond da das Licht der 30 km entfernten Stadt trotzdem einen Zeil des Himmels erleuchtet, etwas liebloses Ambiente in den Iglus, wenig orientalisch, da ist das Royal Zelt besser, dieses riecht aber sehr stark nach LKW Plane.

Das Camp ist wie man es sich vorstellt. Traumhafter Ausblick da man mitten in der Wüste ist. Das Essen war gut, jedoch etwas überteuert. Die Mitarbeiter können zwar kein gutes Englisch waren aber alle sehr freundlich und stets bemüht. Wir haben einige Aktivitäten unternommen unter anderem Kamel reiten, Sandboarden und Quad fahren. Es hat Spaß gemacht und der Guide war super. Beim Rückweg sind trotz Allrad mit dem Auto im Sand stecken geblieben und die Mitarbeiter haben ohne zu zögern eine Stunde dabei geholfen uns wieder zu befreien. Nochmals ein großes Dankeschön dafür.

Lediglich die Dusche ist zu bemängeln. Der Wasserdruck ist kaum vorhanden und Haare waschen für Frauen nicht möglich. Strom (um etwas zu Laden/anzustecken) gibt es im Zelt ebenfalls nicht.

Wauw!! Super Experience! Nice staff, they do everything to make you feel comfortable. I had the best night of my life with the excellent diner under the stars! TRULY RECOMMEND!

Everything + the activities was amazing and so fun! The food was really delicious too. They have water/coffee/tea/fruit/dates all complimentary and also built us a fire in the evening. We opted for the single plate for dinner rather than buffet and it was more than enough food! We also added sand skating (which was mostly sleds), archery (shooting) and ATV. Highly recommend doing the ATV - it was so fun! Thanks for a great stay.

Great host & hospitality. We had dinner in the dunes and did a camel ride and a jeep safari. Unique experience!

Location and staff were great

True cost far exceeded stated cost (e.g meals, transport to the venue)

C’est limite scandaleux de mettre « luxury » et de demander un tel prix ! Certes l’emplacement est splendide, mais c’est tout. Aucun luxe, les tentes en plastique sentent donc cette odeur de plastique, sauf la salle de bain, odeurs d’égouts (c’est plutôt compréhensible en plein désert) bien sûr pas d’eau chaude dans la douche…ou est le luxe ?? Pour les repas l’arnaque continue, on paye le prix d’un repas en 4 étoiles et on se retrouve pour le menu buffet à 20 rials par personne avec une assiette remplie de poulet + riz en grosse quantité + frites ? Avec une salade. Pas de choix pas de dessert. Comme annoncé sur le site il n’y à aucunement 3 restaurants. Il y a 3 menus avec les mêmes plats (ce n’est que la quantité qui change) . Tout cela pourrait être correct si le prix était en corrélation avec les prestations. Enfin il y avait des activités mais après notre arrivée nous n’avons jamais revu le manager… donc nous nous sommes débrouillés seuls. Si jamais le lieu vous tente, négociez et surtout prenez les conseils pour la conduite dans le désert et surtout les coordonnées GPS. Accès très difficile.

Beautiful camp in the desert. Our dome was spacious and had a bathroom with a shower and toilet. We did have hot water for the shower. Dune bashing and sand boarding were fun activities. Food was good as well. Staff very friendly and kind. Wifi works by the lobby but not in the rooms

The hidden fees on transportation are wild. We did not know the transportation wasn’t included from the designated parking lot until after our nonrefundable booking. We didn’t feel this experience was worth the total price we paid. Expect to pay several hundreds of US dollars if you go here. We only did the dune bashing with Bedouin house, sand boarding, dinner and transportation from the designated parking. It cost us over $750 USD for a single night stay. The transportation price needs to be included in the price up front.

Room and the place

Nothing

The location , the ideas of the dooms and using solar power in the camp.

Not sure where to start : 1- there was no one ro check us in upon arrival and we weighted like 30 min till the guy arrived in the camp.and when he arrived he didn't seem to be bothered by making us wait , he was just into the payment process and that's it . 2- when finally getting our room , he didnt communicate anything to us like what is our room number ? What are the breakfast timings ,etc and him and hus helpers were walking Miles infeont of us with no welconinf words. 3-it is not allowed to have your dom key, so you can't lock your room when you leave the room !!!!! 4- there is no AC in the room, just a small fan which is partially working. So it is impossible to stay in the room during the day. No hot water .the sheet were full of sand . I mean for the price we paid , you'd expect way more. 5- This is the best : when asked for dinner, as no one told us about the timing, they said usually 8pm but today we are running late so. 9pm. Bur that was not a big deal ...when we finally went in to get dinner , there were rats running around the restaurant and the staff was just looking at them and not saying or doing anything!!!!!! Seriously where is the luxury they are talking about???? 6-You really feel unwelcome all the guests are on thier own. You barely see staff around . I have stayed in more cheaper places in wahiba sands and they way better . One thing for sure , NEVER AGAIN ! Definitely not worth the money as it not cheap

Good location and tidy, very nice views and quiet!

More love for the camp would suit it better, some music and / or a bonfire. The camp is rather pricey for what you get. Dinner is 12 OMR per person and night and is not included. It’s a buffet and 24 OMR for two people is a bit high, considering that the camp is only 30min away from the next big town

We had a perfect stay in the desert and the staff was very friendly and helpful all the time.. Highlight was the walk trough the desert in the night where we saw a scorpion, which was amazing!! special thanks to anour and his team..

the hotel is very beautiful, in the middle of wahiba sand, with very good service and extremely comfortable. the staff was also very nice. the sunrise is stunning ! i however found it a bit too expensive, especially since they charge additional 100 dollars for the SUV pick up back and forth to drive you to the camp.

the location,the staff and the dinner

the ac in the dome was too noisy it was really stuffy inside the dome. we had to pay extra to be picked up from the pick up point to the camp side and back. It should be free . The breakfast was bad.

It was definitely a cool experience staying in the dome tent, watching the sunset from atop the Sand Dunes and watching the sunrise from the other side, also the campfire at night with the traditional Knafe dessert was excellent!!

The price for the stay was a little too much for what was provided, they also charge way too much for a simple transport from the meeting point to the campsite, may be best to lower the price on the transfer to the camp or include in the price as it's a very short distance and it doesn't justify the pricing. The Shisha was not worth it at all, I was really looking forward to enjoying shisha in the desert, however, they had no proper flavors, they just had mint and it tasted burnt, I stop smoking it after 5 minutes of use.

this was an excellent stay

do not try the sand boarding. it does not slide at all..

Large, comfy bed & bedroom with large well equipped private shower/toilet. Good lights and electric sockets. Good dinner and adequate breakfast. Good for sunsets and sunrises. Great quiet location 30kms plus into the desert.

Changed its name (now called Presidential Desert Camp) and management. 1st year of operation, and even though only 1 other couple there the night we stayed, manager (jordanian) seemed a bit stressy with the 2 staff. Mgr wouldn't let our Omani guide in to see our tent. Location difficult to find using google maps. No water for washing etc in morning as problem with pipes (probably quickly fixed after breakfast). No spa as advertised. Camp too well lit all night to see stars properly.

Great location (long way from civilization!) comfy tents, well equipped.

no hot water, expensive activities, limited food.

Mohammed is very helpful. He very kindly guided me through the dunes to reach the camp. Thank you. Comfortable bed. Beautiful sunset from the dunes outside the camp. Wifi ok.

Not worth the money. Misunderstanding with my booking. Despite the description, no options with AC, so do not get the AC upgrade, AC is not available. No fans in the royal tent, cold shower, no outdoor furniture right outside the tent, camp can be noisy with screaming children or shouting staff. Very tacky Arabic or disco music at diner time, as well disco lights in the dining dome. Does not fit the surrounding. Didn’t get the quiet i expected. Need to be experienced in dune driving to reach camp. Breakfast was light.

the location far into the desert - without pool or music or other resort distractions. Am authentic experience, where you can experience the silence, stars, the moon and sunrise/sunset. very nice Staff, accommodating our request to eat outdoors. truly relaxing.

nothing

The location is exceptionally beautiful and well maintained. There was little to no rubbish in the dunes and the maglis area was very comfortable. It was good to have Internet in such a remote location.

The dining area plays music which can be heard throughout the camp. If you want silence, it can be difficult to get. The domed dining area could use curtains as the morning sun is very bright. You need sunglasses at breakfast.

the Dessert 🐪 and the clear sky ✨🌛

a little bit windy 🌬

Accomodation ambience

Food could be better

The place is amazing far from any noise or disturb. Accommodations are clean and confortable. Staff are very helpful and nice

Meals can be improved, even if we were not there for the food

Location Accomodation

No water heater Very bad food quantity and quality And in general the prices are extremely high comparing to any knowing accommodation with 5 to 7 stars

You could not go past the Luxury Desert Camp if you're seeking a top notch experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful - and the accommodation was superb!

Location Facility

Food (quantity&quality)are very bad &the prices are very high Even in the 7 stars hotels are not reaching to that high.

The location is perfect for desert stay. It’s deep enough in the desert for being all alone by still being good reachable with 4 weel drive. The bathroom and the Bed are very good and really the glamping part.

unfortunately the water is cold and it’s bit sad that they don’t have warm water. The Food is very good and tasty but don’t await a lot of choices. especially the breakfast ist a bit short of variation. But still fine for being in the desert.

sleeping in the middle of the desert is an experience of a lifetime. Very nice camp with kind stuff. Camel ride 10/10; shisha 10/10.

Stinky bathroom, but i can imagine that it is not easy to built real roomtype bathroom in desert. Nagigation to the camp is impossible after sunset, so i would like to say thank you to very kind guy from nomadic camp who helped me and do for me a " follow me car" to my camp. Many thanks for that again!

lovely location

pictures are deceiving. the tents are angled so anyone can see in. the food is very expensive. bathroom does not have hot water, which is fine but not at this price. staff are inexistant and uninterested. the whole experience was a disappointment

the staff were amazing and super helpful and caring, special thanks to Muhanned! the place is super clean, and well organized. the bed is comfortable and the toilet is clean. the place a mix of simplicity and modern touch. they got many activities such as playing volleyball, shooting, camels ride etc..

almost nothing! actually we forgot one bag in the toom and they manage to shipped it back to us the day after to out city. so much appreciated.

perfect glamping experience. great concept. clean toilets and very helpful staff.

location is breathtaking, food is nice and staff was very helpful, arranging a tv screen to follow the world cup was very nice.

based on the images, our tent looked not as expected. It also looked like it wasn’t ready for us as there was duvet cover on the sheets, a pair of random flipflops in the bathroom and had to ask for towels. The cofee/tea maker, balcony seats and airco as mentioned in the description were missing as well. when you describe yourself as presidental/luxury camp, I expect a bit more preparation from the property itself.

this camp was amazing, comfortable, in a great location with all the services and activities you might want to try in the desert. We admired the sunset in top of the dunes, had a great typical dinner watching at the stars, ride a camel and also did sand skating. We really felt at home. Would definetly recommend it to whoever wants to live a authentic desert experience.

really nice place in the middle of nowhere

the camp is not well localized in the Google maps. they charge you if you ask for help to get there

It was absolutly phantastic and unforgetable 😍🙏🏼 The staff was so great and friendly. I enjoyed the food, the place, the silence, the sunset and the firewood under the stars. 😍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏻

Me and my girlfriend spend a great night at luxury camps, accomodation was superb, also the sunset in the dunes. This is the farmost camp around, so you really feel the connection with the desert, also with a help of friendly and welcoming stuff, such as Muhannad and Omar. They offer plenty of activities, such as camel riding, dune bashing or dinner with the stars. Definitelly recommend, definitelly would stay another time.

There wasnt such a thing

The people working there are nice

It is a SCAM. Everything is overpriced...(Example : They charged us just for following them with our car to the camp FORTY FIVE OMR!!!) "Luxury" but the bathrooms were smelly...

HOW TO GET THERE: Just follow these coordinates on google maps, since the location on google maps is wrong: (22.3383251, 58.6862672) We got to the camp with a 4x4 SUV (reducing tire pressure by 50% at Al Wasil) by following the road over the sand dunes. Quite fun actually! The camp is one of the latest camps when heading south, so just keep on driving. ACCOMODATION: We booked the Royal Tent option. The tent is cozy, nicely decorated, spacious and very clean. The bathroom has everything you need (shower, toilet etc.). The staff guided us to the tent and gave us a very warm welcome with tea, coffee and some fruits. And the Camp has Wifi which is a big plus and absolutely not common for these kind of camps. FOOD: The buffet dinner was served at the big igloo. Food was very yummy and more than enough for us. After dinner, we had a lovely evening at the camp fire. OVERALL: Mohaned (the manager, whose English is very good) and his crew are super friendly and made us feel at home. We had a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend this camp.

There was no poweroutlet in the tent - or at least we didnt find it..

The location. The camp with its several lounge areas.

Dirty bathroom. No directions to get to the camp, was just told to follow the gps which only took me halfway there, then had to call several times and wait for someone to come pick me up. I lost valuable time when I could just have been told to keep going on the track. Cheap breakfast, barely enough food for everyone. Dinner is ok but too expensive for what it is.
