Wahiba Sands is a vast sand dune filled desert just south of Sur in Central Coastal Oman.
Particularly recommended as a base for exploration deeper into the sands.
Accommodation is in barasti-style huts with shared bathrooms. Included in the price is transport to and from Al-Wasil on the Muscat–Sur Hwy, a camel ride and visit to a Bedouin village. There is no generator and therefore no air-conditioning, which makes for a peaceful and authentic experience.
Simple rooms around a landscaped courtyard. Doors close by 10pm.
A 5-star hotel consisting of 53 suites and rooms and the hotel offers one main restaurant. In addition it has meeting facilities as well.
