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.

Aurora desert camp is located in Bidiyah. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.
Guest review
The place is absolutely enchanting. We were warmly welcomed, and the journey was incredibly enjoyable until we arrived at the campsite where we were served authentic Omani coffee and fruit. For dinner, we were presented with several delicious Omani dishes, expertly prepared by a professional chef. Afterwards, there was a campfire where Khalid told us stories about the desert and history, and explained the meaning of the stars. It was a perfect night. Thank you, Khalid.

Guest review
Ahmed's Al Shuruq Stay is located around the beautiful mountains in the quaint little village of Al Hamra.
Let me start with how he is an excellent, gem of a host to all the guests, he treats everyone like family! He welcomed us very warmly into our room which was named after Misfat Al Abriyeen. It was a very well furnished, spacious and comfy room that was actually prettier in person than in the photos! The bathroom was neat and the beds were comfortable. All the amenities were readily available, there was even a kitchen accessible to all guests. Throughout the stay, Ahmed was only one WhatsApp Message away. He was incredibly helpful and also drove us to show his village and even went the extra mile to take care of my sister who fell ill during the journey. The stay is very close to grocery shops, fuel station and restaurants and over all is a very safe place.
Al Hamra is a beautiful, calm and cozy place nestled between the mountains and has the kindest people. I loved it there and will definitely visit again! I would 10/10 recommend Al Shuruq Stay, it has the best location, rooms and host in the town! 🫶

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.
