“Title: Great camp stay and hospitality, but skip the Bedouin tour.”
+Title: Great camp stay and hospitality, but skip the Bedouin tour I had a really good time staying at the Black Sand Camp, though the experience was a bit mixed. The Highlights: Everything at the camp itself was fantastic. The tents were comfortable, and both the dinner and breakfast were excellent. A special shoutout goes to the Nigerian manager,his behavior, hospitality, and helpfulness made the stay much better. The camel ride was also perfectly organized and a lot of fun.
−The Disappointment: Unfortunately, the Bedouin family tour was a big letdown. I paid 15 OMR expecting a deep, authentic experience where I could properly meet the families, explore the area, and get a genuine look into their daily lifestyle. That didn't happen at all. It lacked the cultural depth I was looking for, and honestly, it felt like a waste of 15 OMR.

“Exceptional, well-appointed and comfortable camp that is amazingly well-priced for what you get.”
+This camp is truly exceptional. It is absolutely bang-for-your-buck. Amazing location in a quiet part of the Wahiba Sands. You will see no other developments. Because the area was remote and away from other camps, it was exceptionally dark which made it easy to see thousands of stars. I drove my own 4x4 vehicle and convoyed with other guests and the hotel staff. I was given GPS coordinates to meet the staff and Google Maps was brilliant. No issues at all. I had everything I needed. So much value at this place well-priced compared to some of the other camps in Wahiba Sands. The owner is friendly, helpful, accommodating and wonderful. Can't recommend this place highly enough.
−My vehicle got stuck in the sand when leaving but the owner and other guests were able to easily extract me without much of a fuss. And this only added to the wonderful adventure at this well-appointment and charming camp.

+Sleeping in the desert is always a magical experience, and staying in the black sand domes made it even more unforgettable. Our stay was made even more memorable thanks to Lenin, a wonderful host and talented cook who took great care of us throughout our visit. His warmth, attention, and delicious meals added a very personal and welcoming touch to the entire experience
−The only downside was the “Discover the Desert” excursion. It was one of the most expensive activities offered, and unfortunately the driver did not speak English, which made it difficult to learn or understand anything about the desert and its culture. The experience felt more like a simple car ride to a so called Bedouin house that now seems primarily set up for tourists to purchase souvenirs. It did not feel as authentic as we had hoped. For that reason, I would recommend choosing a different desert experience.

“A Tranquil Time in the Desert (away from other camps)”
+Black Sands Camp is in the perfect location, away from all the other camps. It was quiet, peaceful and very calming. Lenin, our host, was excellent. He met us at the designated spot then we drove into the camp in our 4x4, which was not very far. We stayed in the dome, which was very comfortable, clean and spacious. The sand boarding down the dunes was extremely fun. We enjoyed a very beautiful sunset sitting on the picturesque dunes. We ordered dinner and breakfast, both which were well prepared, tasty and plentiful. The owner joined us in the evening for the bonfire and was full of interesting stories and information. We had a wonderful time here.
−Everything was great. It exceeded our expectations.

−On a louer un dôme sur le site booking et au final on s’est retrouvé dans une tente basique avec des fenêtres déchirées
