Campsites in Shāhiq

Very friendly and helpful staff, an authentic experience and delicious dinner. We also fully recommend the sand bashing &sunset and the cultural tour. Amazing experience.

Best Hotel I had in Oman. The camp is perfect, I had an amazing time there. Unfortunately, I only booked for one night. If I knew that the camp was so special, I would have booked at least two nights.

An impression of nothing around you. It’s an incredible sensation, also the team is very nice, thank you Ibrahim. Beautiful isolated tent.

The experience was exceptional and the beauty of the place is indescribable. In addition, the host of the place was extremely kind. He helped us get to know the place and welcomed us with great warmth.

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.

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.

We loved our stay at Bidiya Desert Camp. Mr Abdullah was a super lovely host, even upgrading us to a better room than we booked. A reason I booked this place was because reviews said you can reach there without a 4x4. We did get stuck in the sand in our little car, but Mr Abdullah expertly got our car out. We could have avoided getting unstuck if we went on the road that was harder packed sand or took air out of our tyres. But Mr Abdulla did meet us at the point where we needed to turn onto the better road, but because we didn't have reception, didn't know he was waiting for us there to help. We also got dinner and breakfast which was great. And did the sunset Jeep tour, which I also recommend. I would 100% recommend this place for a night in the desert to anyone.

Location is best and driving experience to reach property is also good.
