Where You Sleep At The Musandam Beach Camp

The camp is on a quiet beach in the Musandam fjords, reached only by boat. The beach is shared, and our team sets up its own area with tents, toilets, showers, tables and a generator for the lights and the music system. Each tent sleeps 2 guests and has mattresses, pillows, blankets and bedsheets. Solo travelers get a tent of their own. In the evening there’s a campfire, music and beach games, and you can swim right off the beach.

Why Book Musandam Camping With Us?

The same team runs the dhow, the speedboat and the camp, so you deal with one crew from check-in until you’re back at the port. The camp has toilets and showers, and each tent sleeps only 2 guests, so you never share a tent with strangers. Solo travelers get a tent of their own. A family of 2 adults and 2 kids pays AED 1,600 on the self drive option, with all meals included.

If you want to have a boat to yourselves for the night, our private overnight dhow cruise starts at AED 2,000 for up to 3 guests.

Is Musandam Camping Good For Families?

Yes. Life jackets are on board for every guest, including kids, and swimming is optional, so younger children can stay on the shaded deck or play on the sand at the camp. There are toilets and showers on the dhow and at the camp, and all food is halal. Each tent sleeps 2, so families get tents next to each other.

Kids from 4 to 10 pay AED 350 on self drive or AED 835 on all inclusive. Infants under 4 go free on self drive and pay AED 335 on all inclusive for their own seat in the vehicle. Tell us your kids’ ages when you book so the team can prepare.
