Campsites in Shāhiq

Many thanks to everyone as you made our experience in desert very unforgettable! Here it was the best Omani coffee which we've ever had during our trip! Camp is very nice. Tents are big enough, very clean, each has its own clean (!) toilet and hot shower. Nice common shelter. We arrived after sunset, left our car near the petrol station as suggested by camp and camp's driver brought us to camp. They offer this service if you are not ready to drive in sands. Communication was very effective. Me and my friend, 2 girls, were only guests in the camp for that night but we were welcomed very good. We had very good and delicious dinner as well as breakfast in the morning. We were welcomed very warm and feel ourselves safe. All the team were very kind! Don't bring any food with you as desert mice would disturb you all the night. Next morning we met sunrise on the top of closest dune (just walked by ourselves), had amazing breakfast and took 3hrs tour in desert. It was nice drive through dunes, visited nomad house, saw a lot of camels. There is WIFI in the camp but it also can be considered as drawback :)

Great location and very friendly & helpful staff.

My sister and I had an incredible stay at Atana Bidiyah private and highly recommend it and the owners to anyone looking for a Wahiba desert experience that is filled with calm, connection and a deep respect for the desert and ecosystem. The owners are excellent fun and wonderful hosts - the camp may be new yet they have grown up with their families in Bidiyah. Their knowledge, stories, connection and respect for Wahiba is admirable and deeply fascinating. Atana offers delicious dinner options, snacks, Omani breakfast, a dune top 4x4 tour and transfer pick up from Bidiyah if needed. From the moment I contacted them on Instagram and the kindness they showed me, I knew I was in for a treat! Arriving around 4pm, there’s time to settle into your tent, take in some Omani coffee and breathe in the serenity that engulfs you. An incredible sunset tour on the dunes with safe and experienced driving and a visit to the natural well that provides water for the camel and goat herders (your only neighbours), as well as the camp, and watching the sun kiss the land before descending back for dinner - the best BBQ I have had in Oman these past 6 years! And then the stars came out and wow! Ayla is located away from other camps, uses solar power, and is located not too deep into Wahiba - making it accessible, wonderfully quiet and with no light pollution. And just when you think you’ve experienced it all and climb into bed smiling and full of joy - the afternoon sun has kindly warmed your bed and the high-quality, high-thread cotton offers a warm hug on the cool evening for the best night’s sleep. Sunrise brings more discovery as the birds, goats, camels awaken and start their day around you. Snuggled up with a hot drink watching the world wake up in this vast stillness. Lifetime memories were made and I am thankful to the team at Atana for taking such great care of me and my sister. Definitely recommended.

It's amazing experience and pleasent place to stay with family .very humble and smiled face Mr Salem.we are enjoy with our family.childerns also very happy and enjoying the camp ..

Our stay in the tent was incredibly comfortable and authentic — the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. The welcome and atmosphere were amazing, with songs and dances around the campfire alongside other travelers, our host, and his friends. We also went quad biking in the dunes, and Sultan, one of the hosts, even taught us how to shoot with a rifle! There was also a very friendly camel wandering around the camp, which made the experience even more special. One of the best moments was definitely the dune climbing activity in a 4x4 car with Sultan, a real expert in sand driving. We also visited a camel farm and a goat farm, and enjoyed a breathtaking sunset over the desert. Sultan and his friend were incredibly kind, welcoming, and warm-hearted — they truly made us feel at home. The meals were delicious and plentiful, and we enjoyed them under the stars. We loved the experience so much that we decided to stay an extra night! One of the hosts even took us into town to taste some local food — such a thoughtful gesture. We truly had an unforgettable stay and hope to come back one day. Highly recommended!

Tent and the bathroom were to our liking. Staff was very helpful with everything. It was clamping with affordable budget. Just remember to bring cash! It's in the desert so you have to drive back if you forgotten it.

I usually don't review stays but for this one I'm glad to make the exception. The bedouin camp is simply an awesome place to stay, not just because of the location and great tent camp, also (mostly) because of the host and his family. They were so open, friendly, and spent so much time with us. The host proudly showed us his animals, we were lucky to see a 1 day old camel, and then treated us on some dune bashing. After that, a great diner was served, and we met many many of his family members at the camp fire. Thanks again Badr!!

It was the best place to stay on the desert. Charming, very kind and friendly people, great food. Private bathroom. Pristine. Wonderful dunes bashing with Quais. Amazing place.

A little distance away from the other camps and up on a ridge so the views over the dunes are amazing. The tents on stilts also great! Dinner and breakfast wonderful, hosts very friendly around the campfire. Easy pickup from local town where we left our hire car. Great experience!
