Over several years living in the Sultanate of Oman, I must have camped at over 100 different locations in Oman! A camping trip around Oman is an incredible adventure, but knowing where to pitch your tent can be daunting in such dramatic landscapes. Oman has no formal campsites, and all camping is "wild" or "backcountry". I’m sharing all of my favourite hidden gems, and the places we go back to weekend after weekend! For each location I’ve included a couple of options to choose from, with information on ease of access and nearby facilities.

Oman is a fascinating country; rich in history, with stunning natural scenery. The region beckons adventurers and history buffs alike to immerse themselves in transformative experiences along the Arabian coast. A country of old forts, crimson skies, oases, lush greenery and endless desert; it should be on any wanderlust bucket list. Intriguingly it has only recently garnered global attention for its natural beauty but I've been lucky enough to be exploring the hiking trails of Oman since the nineties. With this new influx of tourism, I've noticed the once crumbling ancient villages are being restored to their former glory. However, the quiet mountain trails are also becoming busier than ever - so now is the time to visit! I've typed up and detailed the ultimate Oman roadtrip that fits a 10 day schedule. Of course, I would recommend you take as much time as possible and could spend 2 weeks to a month exploring what this beautiful country has to offer. This itinerary has a little of everything: adventure, nature, culture, food and luxury. You can follow this plan to the letter, or use it as a springboard to prepare your own ultimate adventure!
