The Camp

an idyllic camp surrounded by golden shimmering sand dunes
well equipped palm leave huts (called Barasti) with comfortable beds (matttress, blankets, pillows and fresh sheets); bungalows in the Oman fort style are also available
modern restrooms and showers

a comfortable Arabian Majlis with a raised sitting area for meeting and relaxation; attached to the Majlis is the dining area

a cosy barasti for coffee and tea breaks or
for smoking a traditional hubbly bubbly
a fully equipped kitchen (including refrigerator), in which delicious meals are freshly prepared
a fire pit for barbecues and a romantic camp fire;
upon request we share an evening with unique
Bedouin dancers and musicians


The camp is not equipped with a generator so there is no air conditioning (except by nature). Gas is used for the cooking and refrigeration; paraffin lamps and candles provide light. The camp is therefore a very peaceful place to relax and to experience authentic desert nights.
