Great get away

The location is pristine. Some distance away from the other camps, we were not disturbed by "traffic" noise. The camp is located in a pit, surrounded by dunes. A short walk up these dunes offers you a fantastic view point. Spectacular. The staff was extremely friendly. Always acknowledging our presence, always helping if needed. Star-gazing at night. Just unbelievable to see so many stars. We forget that there are so many when we live in the city. Bring a star gazing app, and you're in for a treat. The dessert 'ceremony' after dinner prepared in from of you around a camp fire was very cool. A nice touch. --- --- We met the hosts at their office in Al Wasl/Bidiah. We decided to leave our car there and catch a hop with one of the driver (OMR 35) as we are not experienced in driving in the desert. In retrospect, it was a good call as some sections of the trail were treacherous. We could pay for our stay by card at their office. It took us around 20 minutes to reach the camp. It already was a nice introduction to the desert. When there, we were welcomed with dates, halwa and Omani coffee by the owner, Saeed. A friendly character who speaks perfect English and who has travelled a lot. We were then taken to our bungalow which, although simple, was comfortable and cute. An hour later (December trip), we were taken to the top of high dunes some 5 minutes away to witness the sunset. What a wonderful experience that was. Just sitting there, in silence in front of the immensity of the desert. The camp offers a variety of activities such as camel riding, sand boarding, dune bashing, etc.

The location was great
