An ancient crossroads of civilisations and cultures, Oman offers intrepid travellers the chance to engage with an Arab country that’s refreshingly humble. Its varied landscapes leave a treat for the eyes, with unspoiled stretches of coastline strewn with white-sand beaches. Mudbrick villages cling to the side of rocky valleys. Soaring mountain ranges are sliced with bottomless canyons, while the great Wahiba Sand Dunes seem to ripple endlessly into the desert. All this is spread across three huge regions. The northernmost is home to Muscat, Oman’s chaotic capital. Here you can find a myriad of old forts, grand mosques and royal palaces – some explorable on foot, others requiring a little more effort to reach. To escape the crowds, take a day trip to Nakhal Fort, a stone-carved citadel found at the foot of the Hajar Mountains. These towering peaks stretch all the way to the United Arab Emirates, hiding riverbed oases and jagged fjords. In the southern region, the palm-fringed beaches of Salalah make for an ideal retreat after the long, dusty journey down the coast. Accommodation options are aplenty here, with a range of hotel resorts and simple guesthouses to choose from in the bigger cities and coastal towns.

The camp is very nice. The location in the middle of desert. Bader was an excellent host. He took us in a nice experience crossing the sand and rode camels. The breakfast was delicious and we ordered dinner and his mother cooked it and it was very delicious. The atmosphere in the camp is family and comfortable. The room is clean and comfy.

This hotel is rather a villa which is perfect for families or groups of friends. Playground and self-catering facilities are very good and the owner / staff are more than helpful.

Set in Al Ḩamrāʼ, 44 km from Nizwa Fort, Alshuruq Stay offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and free WiFi.
Guest review
It was overwhelming to see how the host was always helping and giving more than we were asking for. He did it so good that his accommodation felt as a second home. It was always good to talk with him, and he represents the hospitality of Oman in person. It was also nice to talk to his lovely family. The accommodation was very relaxed and looked very nice. A typical location to stay for more than just one night, especially because from there you can do a lot of things: Nizwa, Bahla fort, Jabrin Castle, Jebel Shams (balcony walk) and maybe even Bat or other necropolis.

Guest review
We loved this old family house, which is now a nice small heritage hotel. Our en-suite room was big, nicely decorated, very clean, the bed was comfy. Staff was very friendly, and particularly Mr Rahman at the reception was very helpful.
The breakfast was served down on the terrace of the Café, and was delicious, with a lovely view on the castle, which is right opposite.
WiFi and AC were functioning well.
Free car park is available in front of the hotel.
