An ancient crossroads of civilisations and cultures, Oman offers intrepid travellers the chance to engage with an Arab country that’s refreshingly humble. Its varied landscapes leave a treat for the eyes, with unspoiled stretches of coastline strewn with white-sand beaches. Mudbrick villages cling to the side of rocky valleys. Soaring mountain ranges are sliced with bottomless canyons, while the great Wahiba Sand Dunes seem to ripple endlessly into the desert. All this is spread across three huge regions. The northernmost is home to Muscat, Oman’s chaotic capital. Here you can find a myriad of old forts, grand mosques and royal palaces – some explorable on foot, others requiring a little more effort to reach. To escape the crowds, take a day trip to Nakhal Fort, a stone-carved citadel found at the foot of the Hajar Mountains. These towering peaks stretch all the way to the United Arab Emirates, hiding riverbed oases and jagged fjords. In the southern region, the palm-fringed beaches of Salalah make for an ideal retreat after the long, dusty journey down the coast. Accommodation options are aplenty here, with a range of hotel resorts and simple guesthouses to choose from in the bigger cities and coastal towns.

I had a wonderful stay at Alsaif Camp. The location in the middle of the desert is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The camp was very clean and well maintained, and the atmosphere made the whole experience feel special.
The breakfast was great and the dinner was also really good – fresh, tasty and served with warm hospitality. The staff were friendly and helped make everything comfortable.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time here. A beautiful camp, clean rooms, good food, and a perfect desert experience. Highly recommended!

Guest review
Staying at Starry Domes is an experience that will stay with you for life. There is an intensity to the desert, particularly at night, that is sublime; the complete silence, the stars, the endless dunes, and waking in the morning to animal tracks and realising that the silence is populated. Stunning.

Guest review
Thank you very much for welcoming us in this beautiful and magical place. It is so lovely and you and your staff are so kind that we feel totally at ease here. Everything is perfect : the room, the food, the wadi. Just one little thing for us tourists : do not put suncream just before going swimming otherwise it does put it in the water. Please put suncream at least 30 minutes before going to the wadi to keep this place as beautiful as it is.
