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.

Alsaif camp features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and bar in Bidiyah. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.
Guest review
Alsaif camp was probably one of the best accommodations I’ve ever stayed at and I travel quite frequently. The villas are beautiful and the value for money is excellent. You get a private swimming pool, good AC, a spacious room with a large TV, and in-room dining and breakfast (for an additional fee). After the dinner, the owner took us to a campfire in the dunes behind the accommodation where he explained us the history of Oman while serving us tea and stargazing. Simply unforgettable. We also purchased a sunrise tour and we were picked up at 5:50 am sharp.
Another big plus is the location. The villas are right at the edge of the village — literally where the road ends and the desert begins — so we could drive there with our regular car and park right in front of the villa. No need for a 4x4 or expensive transfers like I’ve seen in some other places.
I’m so happy we chose this place. The team was super responsive on WhatsApp whenever we needed anything. Can’t recommend it enough!

Aurora desert camp is located in Bidiyah. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.
Guest review
A truly unique experience, one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. A camp consisting of only three rooms. Khalid is a wonderful host. The food is incredibly delicious, the portions are huge, and the Omani hospitality is at its best. The place is breathtakingly beautiful. We were able to watch the sunrise from our room's balcony. If you are looking for peace and tranquility in the desert, I highly recommend this camp.

The host was the very best representative for the friendly Omani people.
