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.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Isa Hotel. From the very first moment, we were welcomed with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. The team was always available, attentive, and eager to help, making us feel truly at home.
The experience was exceptional from start to finish, especially the desert excursion, which was unforgettable and very well organized. Everything was handled with honesty and transparency, and any questions we had were kindly clarified.
A big thank you for the warmth, generosity, and hospitality. We leave with beautiful memories and would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will definitely come back and happily recommend it to our family and friends

Mr Hilal welcomes you in his cool 4x4 Orange Rubicon Jeep at the pick up point and you know you’re going to have a good time! The camp interiors live up to the photos . Everything is spic and span and even though you’re in the middle of the desert you feel right at home! A clear 5 stars! Speaking of stars , we were lucky to have a clear night and had a beautiful Milky Way display at night!

Guest review
This place is so beautiful. The garden created such relaxing atmosphere. The playground was the highlight for our kids.
The bed was comfortable and we got an additional mattress too. The staff was really helpful.
There was quite a space in the back yard to hang our laundry.
We drove to the nearby sand dune in the evening. The view was fantastic and there was enough sand for the kids.

We were traveling with the baby, so this was the perfect resort for us to slow down our holiday. We made the most of the delicious resturant, breakfast, pools and family room where our toddler loved the games.
