Desert Nights Camp Wahiba Sands

This is not the place to book for a business traveller - it's in the middle of nowhere, also known as the desert. But great for holiday travellers looking for 1-2 nights away from city life, or for incentive travel. Activities include camel riding, crazy jeep driving (yay!), those funny little 4-wheel motorbikes, and just relaxing and enjoying the warm night in the desert.

This is a 5-star beduin dream come true - though in actual fact, probably only 4 stars as there is no pool. They were building a bar but were not licensed to serve alcohol yet. In my opinion it was true luxury, unbelievably quiet when you went to sleep, and lovely to wake up and see the morning mist. Good food, too! Only 2 hours drive from Muscat

Accommodation - will sleep 2, but I had it all to myself:

What the rest of the place looks like:

Early morning in the desert

Camel driver (??) + apprentice

Pictures can't really tell how funny it is to drive up and down the dunes

Sunset

Wheeeee!!! :-)

Spotted on the way home from Wahiba Sands: In Oman, they don't have dogwalkers. But they do have camel walkers...

All you need is a jeep and a bit of rope, and you're in business!
