    One of my best experiences 👍🏻

    Liked : An unforgettable desert experience beyond expectations!
    We honestly didn’t expect the experience to be this beautiful! The location is truly unique — set high above the golden sand dunes, offering breathtaking sunset views right from our room. This special setting makes Desert Escape stand out from any other desert camp.

    We were warmly welcomed at sunset with traditional Omani sweets, Arabic coffee, and other treats — a beautiful gesture presented in a luxurious Bedouin style that made us feel genuinely special. A perfect blend of authenticity, elegance, and serenity. Highly recommended

    Disliked : What I didn’t like: I wish I had booked for two nights instead of one, because to truly enjoy and feel the magic of the desert, you need more time to live the experience

    Unforgettable desert getaway that combined comfort, adventure, and breathtaking views.

    Liked : This was an exceptional experience! Although it was my third visit to Wahiba Sands, staying at Desert Escape made it truly unforgettable. What I loved most was the superb location and the magical sunset that I could enjoy right from my bed in the beautiful, majestic tent.

    The food was delicious, offering a wonderful mix of Omani and international dishes. There were also plenty of activities to choose from — camel or horse riding, sand sliding, and unique 4x4 dune bashing adventures.

    I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Wahiba Sands, and don’t miss their afternoon tea at the Horizon Café spot — it’s the perfect way to end the day.

    Liked : The camp is modern, well managed, very clean and has a great location over a dune overlooking sunset. It is 25-30 min drive from Bidiya so you do really feel being in the middle of the desert with red, yellow and golden sands around. The dinner was great and the person in charge of the camp was really very hospitable and helpful. We booked an Arabian tent ("deluxe double room" in booking.com) which is different from the small houses that are mostly shown on booing.com pictures. It was a real tent with a shower and toilet attached to it. It was very interesting experience, it was spotlessly clean, spacious and the big bed was very comfortable. Unforgettable night under the stars. On of the best experiences in Oman.

    An Unforgettable Experience in the Heart of the Desert

    Liked : I never imagined that one day I would live a desert experience like the one I had in this place.
    At the beginning, we rode camels, then we headed to the camp where we found special preparations and a luxurious seating area to watch the sunset—an experience I will never forget.
    As for the food, it was excellent.
    The dinner was delicious.
    I even asked to extend the booking for a second night, but unfortunately it was not available.
    I will definitely visit this place again—it is truly indescribable.

    “I highly recommend it — it exceeds expectations.”

    Liked : The most beautiful trip I took was to the Wahiba Sands,
    with their stunning and captivating color.
    I saw the camels and the Bedouin homes, where peace and tranquility prevail.
    As for the accommodation,
    it was luxurious to an exceptional degree — I highly recommend it.
    The staff were wonderful and kind,
    and the place is elevated, allowing you to watch the sunset
    from the most beautiful spot.

    Liked : The most beautiful experience and the best adventures were in the sand. We had an amazing outdoor gathering in a large tent with a beautiful fire pit. The gathering was wonderful, and the food they served was very delicious. We also climbed the sand dunes in the morning, which were close by, and enjoyed a magical and breathtaking sunrise. I highly recommend exploring the place—luxury in the heart of the desert.

    Highly recommended

    Liked : Unlike other camps where tourists are crowded and the atmosphere feels busy, this one offers calm, space, and pure desert beauty. I don’t think I would ever stay at another camp again — this was simply perfect!

    A truly luxurious and authentic Bedouin desert experience
