"The location is beautiful, about 35 minutes off the main road in the middle of picturesque desert dunes. The hosts (Rashad, Abdullah and Hamed) were informative, attentive, funny and kind. They created opportunities to explore the dunes, particularly at sunrise and sunset, and took me out for other activities I requested (including Friday camel races). The food was outstanding (the chef, Jared, cooked some of the best Omani dishes I had on my three-week visit across the country). Highly recommend."

"The owners of the camp are some of the nicest, most genuine people you will meet in Oman. They are real Bedouin family and interact with the guests daily to ensure you have a good time. They made me feel so comfortable as a solo female traveler."

"Very nice host and nice atmosphere in the camp. Good buffets for dinner and breakfast. Nice bedroom’s huts and shared simple shower and restrooms. All very well organized. Could enjoy a walk in the desert at sunset and look at the beautiful sky after dinner."

"Excellent hospitality by the owners! My second stay at the camp and I liked it even better than the first time! If you want to experience the Bedouin lifestyle, I highly recommend this place. The food was fantastic too😋"

"The rustic no frills made u feel part of the desert"

"The camp is located not too close from the nearest village, offering an immersive desert experience. The tents are spacious, clean and nicely decorated and so is the dining area. The staff is helpful, kind and efficient and agreeing pick up was really easy. The buffet was generous with a good and tasty selection of food. The camp offers activities like camel riding and dune safari. We enjoyed both very much. The greatest plus of this camp is that, compared to other structures who might have more of a hotel feel, gives the travellers a authentic and close to nature experience. We would go back and we will recommend it to family and friends."
"The only thing we would have appreciated during our activities is to receive more information regarding the desert and the bedouin life, we found that was a missed opportunity. Other than that it's a 10/10"
"Unlike the other camps in the area, Nomadic desert camp is really surrounded by sand dunes. The camp is very authentic. The facilities are all clean and tidy."

"A dream location, impeccable services, and thoughtful touches that make all the difference. The sunset camel ride is pure magic… an experience that stays in your heart"

"Fantastic, authentic-feeling property. If you want a tranquil night or two this is the place to come, away from those who cannot go without excessive tourist infrastructure. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds and plenty of sheets/blankets to keep warm at night. Delicious cooked dinner and breakfast exceeds expectations given the remoteness. A short 5 minute wander from the camp and you’ll feel like you have the entire sands to yourself. The staff are very attentive and friendly, happy to chat as long as you are."
"My only tiny nitpick would be that when choosing a twin bed arrangement the beds still have to be placed pretty close together in order for the singular mosquito net to cover both people - could be a minor bit of discomfort for some."

"It was a fantastic stay in SAMA Al Areesh Desert Camp. We enjoyed the camp vibe a lot as well as the stylish desert food provided. The staff is quite helpful with any problems you may have. Most importantly, this camp site is accessible with vehicles that are not 4WD."

Avis de Nora Sehma Guest House بيت السحمه للضيافه
"This is a great place to stay!!! The hotel is very conveniently located near Muscat airport, only 5 min with a shuttle from the hotel (which I had to pay, but very little). I got there after a long journey by car from Abu Dhabi where I had got stranded (March 2026 war). My room was just perfect, there were 2 bottle of water (complimentary) and it was very spacious and totally quiet. The breakfast buffet the next morning was rich and the staff very helpful. I really enjoyed my stay! Hope to be back and stay longer!"

Avis de Yaqoob Parkside Plaza Muscat
"Spacious rooms, Clean, good furniture. We were provided extra beds on request"
"The staff were so friendly, helpful and responsive. I called the front desk twice - once for ice and once when we were checking out to get a cart. Both times staff arrived with the requests in less than 5 minutes."
Avis de Laura JW Marriott Hotel Muscat
"I loved how close the guesthouse was to Nizwa fort; just 5 minutes walking distance! It is still in a quiet part of town and there was a lot of parking across the street. The host was very nice, kind, and responsive. The room and building was very clean and inviting."
Avis de Rajda Nima guest house
"Great stay in the middle of the desert! The camp is private and secluded so the experience is very intimate (only 2 tents in total). The host cooked excellent dinner and breakfast and was very friendly and attentive."
