Starwatching Private Camp

No comment submitted.

If you're going to go to the Omani Desert - this is the way to do it (and this is coming from a New York City resident). What's the point of staying in a 80 room compound with pools... experience a more true desert stay while enjoying luxury and comfort. Stayed at both (1) STARWATCHING PRIVATE CAMP and then (2) JUST FOR YOU STARWATCHING TENT. Both incredible experiences, highly recommend. Jamila was super thoughtful both ahead of the visit (I had a lot of questions) and even more so on the ground helping ensure we had great visits at both sites. STARWATCHING is fairly deep in one desert valley while JUST FOR YOU STARWATCHING is not quite as deep (but still a ways in and definitely secluded). Both offer beautiful tents, a lovely experience, and fantastic activities.

We stayed 2 nights at Starwatching Private Camp and had an incredible time. The camp is nestled about a 45 minute drive into the desert in a remote setting. The opportunity to switch off from the world was a welcomed opportunity! The food was excellent, the facilities for the restroom were far above what I expected for being in the desert, and the tent is very spacious and comfortable. We spent our first night alone at camp and walked up the dunes to watch sunset before having dinner and then sitting out by the firepit enjoying the calmness of our surroundings. The second day another couple had rented the tent and it was nice to have the company! We had another excellent dinner together and then we separated from the couple to go up onto the star gazing platform to layout and watch the stars. To top it all off, the team who looked after us provided the best care. Usman and Imran looked after us ensuring we had everything we needed at camp and the gem that is Ali guided us in to camp, to our hotel air balloon we had booked and back again, waking up very early to ensure we didn't miss our activities and provided much insight into the lives of those living within the desert and in Oman. Ali was so welcoming and friendly, he made the whole experience even more enjoyable! Our experience was 5 stars, it is a wonderful treasure in the middle of the desert and I cannot wait for the opportunity to go back.
