Hud Hud Wahiba

In the Wahiba Sands, Hud Hud camp is set up on a tailor-made basis, using authentic handmade Bedouin tents, carefully selected for the environment and sited to ensure privacy and fantastic views.

Hud Hud exclusive camps evoke a traditional, luxurious Arabian ‘encampment’ and is designed in Hud Hud’s inimitable style, in keeping with the ambience of the environment and the region.

Tents have large beds with real mattresses, crisp cotton bedding, Arabian rugs and throws, vivid colours and carefully thought through furnishings. They are amply sized for two people (either as twin or double) and there is scope for one child on a camp bed. They use no electric light, other than solar, and the emphasis is on preserving the atmosphere of the environment through natural lighting – only candles, oil lamps and fires.

Aside from desert-based activities, this area, within the Sharqiya Region, is fabulously well positioned for a host of varied day trips. In addition to visits to traditional villages, old forts, castles and 3,200 BC tombs, there are numerous ‘wadis’ and canyons for swimming and picnicking and the mountains and traditional dhow building yards in the coastal town of Sur are not far. The area is famous for camel racing and breeding and a visit to a race is an experience not to be missed.

Many guests choose to combine nights in the mountains with a stay in the Wahiba Sands. This gives the opportunity to explore two of Oman’s very beautiful and very different environments.
