Alsarmadi is a camp with traditional Bedouin-style tent accommodations (with very comfortable Western-style beds!) high in the dunes of the sandy desert near Bidiyyah. It’s an experience, not just a place to stay. Even getting there is an adventure. You can drive yourself in a four-wheel drive, following after the truck sent from the camp to meet you (for free) or you can get a ride in their truck (for a fee, currently 35 rials). Once there, you will be offered Omani coffee, juice, and dates in a traditional carpeted shelter, then you can visit the livestock (Omani sheep, various breeds of goats, chickens, camels and a donkey), pet the baby goats, and take a ride on a camel. The camel riding is expensive but we thought it was worth it. Not as uncomfortable as I had imagined, although there was quite a lurch when the camel got up from kneeling to let us get on. After sunset, we were invited to watch the cooking of supper over an open fire, and we each had a turn to cook spicy flatbread directly on the coals. The food was delicious, with a nice selection of other dishes as well as the traditional food cooked over the fire. At night, the star-gazing was excellent, and the next morning we were surprised to find tracks of many small animals in the sand. So it was a very rich experience, made more memorable by the host, Said, who was very warm and accommodating and encouraged us to take advantage of all the experiences available.

Amazing food, especially dinner. Sunset in the desert while riding camels. Kids loved the experience of the desert.

if I could give a score of 15 I would. Our host was wonderful from start to finish. We got excellent directions, when we arrived his son showed us where to park. Our host then met us and we had drinks and fruit and relaxed for a few minutes. We then went on a sunset camel ride up the dunes - highly recommended. He then took us to the camp site - and even drove our car up the dunes for us. We relaxed for a while and then he brought us a delicous dinner. It was quite windy and chilly so we appreciated the warm tent and comfortable bed with good quilts to keep us warm. The bathroom was nearby, with a flushing toilet and a sink and shower. In the morning we had fun climbing the dunes to watch the sunrise, and then enjoyed a delicious breakfast with Badr's two adorable girls helping him to serve. He then helped us drive out of the dunes. It was one of the highlights of our two weeks in Oman, I would recommend it to anyone as a very authentic Bedouin experience.

We had a wonderful time. We chose to spend one night here and one in a different kind of accommodation in Wahiba Sands and it was perfect that way, exploring different aspects and views of the desert. The drive is a bit adventurous, however we felt safe as we had a guide to reach the camp from Bidiyah who helped us when we got stuck with our car. The camp is truly on top of the dunes. If may not be the best one if you want to do lots of sand boarding as the individual dunes are not that high but the view is amazing. The food we had was one of the best in all our Oman trip!

This was one of the highlights of our holiday in Oman. I highly recommend staying with Rashid. His hospitality was fantastic, great sense of humour, very genuine and kind. Food was excellent and plentiful. Rashid is very happy to work with you to arrange activities as well. We really enjoyed the dune bashing sunset tour. Book with confidence!
