Cute tents with a lot of space. Friendly owner.

I never imagined the experience would be so fulfilling. Staying in the desert is more than just an adventure – it’s about surrendering to the vastness of the dunes, the purest silence, the countless stars, and above all, the hospitality and vision of the young entrepreneur, Ali. His camp, Thousand Stars Desert, is simply a ten out of ten. Located deep within the Wahiba (Sharqiya) Sands, surrounded by untouched dunes, it offers only two fully equipped tents, which makes the experience truly exclusive. The fact that there are only two rooms transforms the place into something unique and deeply personal. I can’t imagine traveling all the way to the desert to be surrounded by tourists. Here, it’s just you – alone with the desert, or perhaps sharing it with one other lucky guest. My tent had a huge, incredibly comfortable double bed – as good as, or even better than, any five-star hotel. The interior felt completely cozy and inviting. At night, the temperature drops, but Ali has thought of everything: the bedding is perfect, and nothing is missing. The bathroom is just a few steps away, fully equipped and spotless – shower, toilet, bidet, mirror, toiletries – everything works perfectly. You genuinely feel at home, and then you realize: I’m in the middle of an immense desert! Next to the tent, there’s a raised platform – a sort of private viewpoint – with soft mattresses and cushions where you can lie down and watch the end of the sunset. For the beginning of it, you should climb the dunes themselves. The views are breathtaking: you can watch the wind slowly shape the sand, and later, under the night sky, a dazzling display of stars appears in complete clarity. Camels wander nearby, their silhouettes visible on the horizon at sunset or dawn – curious and gentle presences that complete the scene. When night falls, torches are lit throughout the camp, guiding your way.

One of the most special accomodations. So much love for every detail inside & outside of the dome. You should definitely get up early to enjoy the stunning sunrise over the desert. And i can highly recommend the quad sunset Experience that you can book through the Host.

Amazing Omani welcome from Saud and his family. A stunning location with spotlessly clean and comfortable tents, with crisp linen and beautiful interior decoration. Delicious and plentiful buffet dinner taken in a traditional Omani tent setting, then sitting beside an open fire under the stars. This is a must visit location for anyone wanting to experience the beauty and tranquillity of the desert. And very fair value for money considering the amenities and warm hospitality. Don't miss the sunset!

We had an amazing stay, Staff is super welcoming, friendly and professional. The tent are super clean and comfy, bathroom is equipped with everything necessary. Super recommended

Everything! Thanks Rashid. We had a fantastic time, with so many laughs and so good food.

The bader team is really friendly and nice And everything is ok :)

Said, the owner of the camp, send a person to pick me up at Al Wasil village, because I did not have a car. You can reach Al Wasil with shared taxi or Mwasalat Bus. The camp is solar powered, so no noise from generators. He can organize trips in the desert, and to Wadi Bani Khalid. All meals provided are very big portions. The tends are comfortable, and there is a toilet with shower in the camp. The camp is not very far from the village, but it is also close to some dunes you can reach independently with a short walk, to watch the sunrise or sunset. Said is a very precise person, and answered all the questions I needed, before my arrival.

We booked one night at canp - everything was very good than what we expect Only two tents at the top of the sand dunes - truly imaginative sunset and sunrise scenes. There are no negatives that spoil your stay in the desert - the meals were well prepared and presented very nice The host was very helpful and would definitely come back again with my family and i will tell my friends about this place

A beautiful camp in a beautiful location. If you're looking to go quad biking and other obnoxious activities this isn't the place for you. Abdullah and his team run an authentic camp oasis in the dunes, with delicious food and copious amounts of coffee and dates. The sunrise camel ride was fantastic and is a must do. The camp staff are the loveliest people you will meet in Oman and they also have the best sense of humour. If you're looking to experience the desert properly then this is the place for you.
