        “Desert Camp Review”

        I had a fantastic experience at this desert camp! The location is perfect, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding dunes. One of the highlights was being able to climb the sand dune right next to the camp and watch the sunset—it was truly a magical sight. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The meals were also excellent—both dinner and breakfast were delicious and well-prepared. Overall, this camp is a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the desert with excellent hospitality. Highly recommended!

        “Wonderful Stay”

        I highly recommend this place. It is easy to get to with a sedan car. The dunes are right behind the chalets. The chalets are air conditioned and otherwise very comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were quite tasty and filling. The staff were very nice and attentive. This was the best place I stayed at of seven in Oman.

        “Great staff, great stay”

        We initially booked SAMA Al Areesh, but our booking was transferred to SAMA Al Wasil due to temporary closure of SAMA Al Areesh. SAMA's staff was amazing. We cannot thank them more for their hospitality and the way they dealt with the change in booking. SAMA Al Wasil was a bit further than SAMA Al Areesh, so the location wasn't exactly great for us, but they offered a nice selection of free and fee-paying activities, which we enjoyed. Food was great as well, especially the BBQ during dinner! Room was big. Toilet had a horrible smell. And as you can imagine, there's sand everywhere but I guess this can't be avoided.
