Luxurious bathrooms are fully equipped with bathrobes, bathroom slippers, towels and toiletries. All tents are air conditioned.

When to travel
The best time to visit Oman is between November and mid-March, when the cooler air brings the mountain scenery sharply into focus and daytime temperatures average 25°C. For the rest of the year, much of Oman is oppressively hot and hazy, particularly between May and August.
