Desert Retreat Camp

Surrounded by the high sand dunes of Oman’s desert, the eco-friendly Retreat Camp in Sharqiya provides authentic, Arabian-style accommodation in tents. It offers camel rides and tours to nearby locations. Situated in Wahiba sands, all tents are made of natural goat hair. Each has a private, open-to-the-sky bathroom with a toilet, sink and shower. Guests staying at the Desert Retreat Camp can enjoy Arabian food and barbeque every night. After a meal, you can listen to the traditional Arabian music or gaze at the starry sky over the camp. Desert Retreat staff can organise a visit to Beduoin settlements as well as Wadi Bani Khalid, a nearby valley. Guests can also enjoy dune bashing, a popular way to explore sand dunes in off-road vehicles. Please check your visa requirements before you travel. Please note that the meeting point is at the office at Al Maha petrol station in Al Wasil Village at 3 pm daily. Please note that a 4x4 car will be provided to reach the camp. This service is mandatory and chargeable.
