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.

Guest review
Great location out in the desert. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable hosts. Accommodation was really nice, being able to sit on the balcony was really peaceful with great views. Food was also very good. The early evening walk in the desert (which is free) meant being able to see a fantastic desert sunset. Also did the trip to an authentic bedouin camp on the second day which was really interesting and gave a great insight into the culture.
Would highly recommend a stay here at royal desert camp.

The camp is very nice. The location in the middle of desert. Bader was an excellent host. He took us in a nice experience crossing the sand and rode camels. The breakfast was delicious and we ordered dinner and his mother cooked it and it was very delicious. The atmosphere in the camp is family and comfortable. The room is clean and comfy.

Perfect location on top of the dune. Large space between domes, giving total privacy. Small number of domes makes it feel more special and not the kind of resort style. The room was very comfortable! Simply amazing experience.

Guest review
the stay in Queen Desert Camp was excellent, we enjoyed our time there a lot. The meals for the dinner and breakfast were tasty and fresh, no troubles with water, clean tent, comfortable bed, frienly manager Emaad was helpful, he invited us with a tea and dates, and provided adaptor for telephone charger, which we forgot to bring with us. The transfer was quick and on time, driver was trying his best to get us to the spot before the sunset. Communication with the administration was great, we got from them all needed instructions (where to turn off the main road, how to find the parking point) via Whatsapp without reminding.
