Fodor's Expert Review Al Raha Camp

This camp is run-down, and the rooms are very basic, albeit clean with private bathrooms. It is one of the cheapest places to stay in the desert and is adequate for a night. The Omani owners can arrange pickups from town and desert excursions, and they maintain a good relationship with the local Bedouin and can arrange visits with them; Bedouin women to come to the camp each weekend to sell their handicrafts.This camp offers two meal options: breakfast only or half-board. Unless you plan to bring a cooler with your own provision, you should take the half-board offer. If you book during the summer, you must book a room with air-conditioning.
