المخيمات الصحراوية
From barasti huts with no generator to suites with a pool, 10 to 25 km into the dunes.
Dozens of camps lie off the tracks from Al Wasil, Al Ghabbi and Al Mintirib. The well-known names include 1000 Nights Camp, the deepest in, with an astronomer for stargazing; Desert Nights Camp, the luxury option 11 km off the road; Arabian Oryx Camp, a long-running Bedouin-style camp; Sama Al Wasil with its camel-meat buffet; Nomadic Desert Camp, barasti huts with no generator; Safari Desert Camp in Al Ghabbi; and Al Raha, Sunrise, Sands Dream, Al Maha and Bader's camps among many others.
All of them run dune drives, camel rides, sandboarding, a Bedouin dinner around the fire and a transfer from the main road. Prices range from about OMR 35 per person for a hut to USD 300 and more for a suite.

Is a normal sedan OK to reach the camps in November, or do we need to book a pick-up from the road?
The Desert CampsWe came for one night and stayed three. The astronomer at the camp showed us Saturn's rings through the telescope and then just... silence. Nothing I have experienced in Oman comes close.
