We enjoyed our stay at the camp. The staff were all great and the rooms were really good. We would like to stay there again. I hope in the future they have more activities.

Beautiful desert resort
Wonderful desert experience. Loved that they had nightly movies showing on a big screen outside with chai and popcorn. The communal space was pretty. Most guests stay only one night; because we stayed two, it was a quite quiet in the middle of the day, and a long stretch to wait between breakfast and dinner service,

6/10 Good

The property is lying in the desert and is surrounded by dunes. It is very peaceful and calming. Unfortunately, there is no credit card terminal, so if you need to settle your bill for the shuttle you have to pay cash! This is kinda weird, since it is clearly stated, that you can pay by card. The gas station is also not offering public parking, so you need to park your car at an abandoned building. Oman is pretty safe, don’t get me wrong, but is still gives you a weird feeling, leaving the car at that place.

Génial
Quel endroit génial, dans le désert. Tout est au top. Les hébergements, le confort, le personnel, super repas très varié, et un petit déjeuner plus que parfait. Tout le personnel est tellement souriant et sympathique. Et accès en haut d'une dune, pour un coucher de soleil magique. Vraiment génial.

Campo nella media.
Gradevole la posizione in mezzo alle dune. Servizi in generale efficienti. Mancanza di protezioni per il vento durane i pasti (sabbia in bocca). Buono il Car Bashing. Pasti così così.

Die Anreise wäre auch selbst möglich gewesen, ich habe aber den Abholservice genommen, da ich keinen AWD hatte. Es standen auch Autos ohne AWD auf dem Parkplatz, aber die erste Auffahrt in die Wüste ca. 200m ist schon anspruchsvoll. Der Abholservice war pünktlich und ist mit 100Km/h durch die Wüste gefahren. Das Camp liegt sehr schön an einer Düne, ist nicht überlaufen und das Essen war sehr gut für die Gegebenheiten. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber wie auch die ganze Anlage. Eine Übernachtung reicht, ich habe zwei gemacht und den Tag einfach genossen ohne Ausflüge. Ansonsten kann man auch Quad fahren (ca. 500m entfernt) oder Kamelreiten etc.

Soirée magique dans le désert!
Arrivée avec notre 4x4 de location après 30 min de route dans le désert. Première expérience fascinante. Accueil chaleureux. Les chambres sont très bien et surtout très propres. Coucher de soleil depuis la dune principale ( grimpette d’une 50aine de mètres ) coucher de soleil envoutant. Repas du soir bon sans plus. Cinéma sous les étoiles ( Aladin) . Parfait

Super moment de déconnexion
Un superbe endroit pour déconnecter. Pas de wifi, de télévision. Juste de jolis paysages et une folle envie d en profiter. Possibilité de venir en 4x4 pour 32 OMR. Activités proposées sur place. Film le soir sur un matelas. Une corde pour grimper la dune et aller voir le coucher du soleil. Un superbe souvenir gravé.

Pioggia nel Deserto
La giornata è stata particolare perché pioveva! Si uno va nel deserto e trova la pioggia comunque la struttura ha saputo organizzare una cena di emergenza ma le attività sono state impedite. Bella emozione scalare al mattino la duna rossa posta attaccata alla struttura il panorama da li sù vale lo sforzo. Troppo caro il transfert in giornate non piovose so arriva anche con una macchina normale
