A Private Desert Camp Far from the Crowds
Shooting Star Private Camp is a small, locally operated desert camp located approximately 32 km from the main road, deep within the Wahiba Sands of Oman.
The remote setting is part of the experience.
There are no busy streets, city lights or large groups around you. Instead, you are surrounded by golden dunes, open skies and the natural silence of the desert.
With just three private canvas tents, Shooting Star offers an intimate atmosphere for couples, families and small groups looking for a peaceful desert escape with genuine Omani hospitality.
This is a place to slow down, disconnect from everyday life and experience the desert in a more personal way.
Three Tents. Endless Desert. Complete Privacy.
ShootingStar Private Camp is intentionally small.
With only three private tents, there is space to enjoy the desert without the feeling of staying in a large resort or crowded camp.

Every tent includes:
- Private 6 × 6 metre canvas tent
- Private toilet
- Private shower
- Comfortable sleeping area
- Private outdoor space
- Desert surroundings
- Traditional Omani-inspired details
Whether you spend your time reading outside your tent, watching the changing colours of the dunes or simply enjoying the silence, the experience is designed around peace and privacy.

Dinner & Breakfast in the Desert
Freshly Prepared Meals, Served in a Peaceful Setting
Your stay at ShootingStar Private Camp includes dinner and breakfast.

Dinner is part of the evening experience. As the temperature begins to cool and the sun disappears behind the dunes, sit down to enjoy your meal surrounded by the quiet of Wahiba Sands.
In the morning, breakfast gives you a relaxed start to another day in the desert.
For many guests, eating together in the middle of the dunes becomes one of the most memorable parts of the stay.
Dinner and breakfast are included with your stay.
Run by Locals. Connected to the Desert.
ShootingStar Private Camp is operated by local people from the Bediyah area with a deep connection to the Wahiba Sands.
For us, the desert is not simply a place to visit.
It is part of our home, our heritage, and our daily life.
Our knowledge of the dunes has been passed down through generations, from camel guiding and desert travel to understanding the landscape, weather and traditional Bedouin way of life.
When you stay with us, you are not simply booking accommodation.
You are experiencing the Wahiba Sands with people who know the desert from the inside.
Our team is here to make your stay comfortable, personal, and authentic.
Deep in Wahiba Sands
32 km from the Main Road
ShootingStar Private Camp is located approximately 32 km from the main road, deep inside the Wahiba Sands.
The remote location is one of the reasons guests choose to stay here.
The further you travel into the dunes, the more the outside world disappears.
No traffic.
No city noise.
No crowded surroundings.
Just open desert, golden dunes and wide skies.
The journey into the camp is part of the experience, taking you away from the everyday and deeper into the landscape of Oman.
Because of the remote location, access is by 4×4 vehicle and arrival arrangements should be confirmed with our team before your stay.
Quiet Desert Nights
Sunset, Campfire & Stargazing
As the sun begins to set, the dunes change colour from gold to orange and then deep red.
When darkness arrives, the desert becomes remarkably quiet.
Gather around the campfire, enjoy the evening air and look up at the stars.
Far from the lights of cities and busy tourist areas, Wahiba Sands offers a natural setting for stargazing and quiet reflection.
There is no need for entertainment when the desert itself becomes the experience.
Watch the sunset.
Sit by the fire.
Look at the stars.
Enjoy the silence.
