The moment you step inside the desert, it just feels amazing. The serenity of beautiful dunes, vast field of red sands and stillness around you are simply captivating. Still referred to locally as Wahiba Sands, this is a great place to camp overnight with group of friends. We went with a few families, camp out, BBQ and talked all night (metaphorically speaking). The magnificence and majesty of the night sky and the peace of dawn in the dunes makes this stay, one of the desert camps you don’t want to miss!
We booked a private dune driving experience at Wahiba Sands. We saw nothing but golden sands and blue skies. The temperature was perfect for our toes to sink into the sand. We visited a bedouins tent and took lovely pictures before we set off for some dune driving.
Listen, way overpriced for what it is, the food is bad and the bfast even worst. They have a pool that they don't clean and is literally dark green. In Muscat for 60 euros more, we stayed at 4 stars hotel such as the Grand Hyatt. The AC makes a horrible loud noise, the bed sheets and towels are all stained and dirty. Should I also mention that our tour guide/driver was robbed over night in his room? and the hotel did nothing. They did not call the police, they did not take care of us (3 girls alone). Should I really add anything else? Do not stay here.
nice clean rooms - always smiling and helpful staff - restaurant with average Indian food. Excellent bar with a pool table hotel and bar are visited by local guests. internet is limited and weak international TV with BBC has a pool
We stopped here for lunch on our way to Wahiba Sands. We were the only people in the restaurant but we had a lovely simple meal from a very extensive menu. We chose a biryani, some chicken tikka (really lovely) and some hummus with Arabic bread. Everything seemed fresh, good portions and it was all very enjoyable. Service was good and friendly. Very reasonable prices and we were able to pay with a credit card. The hotel does seem rather run down but we would really recommend this as a great stop for lunch.
