Car Roof Tent

The size of the car you should select depends on the number of people and on the type of Car Hire and Roof Top tents camping gear you choose. If you go for standard tours camping equipment, you have the option of using a roof rack. We have two types of Roof Top tents service. Type One is the smaller one and is good for two Adults. We can actually fit a Type One is onto a 2.0 Litre Renault Duster, but this is a small car so along with all the camping equipment we supply this option is really only good for two people.

Car Top Tent

Over the years, we’ve discovered that a “Dual Skin” Pop up Tent is the finest form of Ground Tent for Oman’s temperature and terrain. These can be set up in seconds and taken down in two minutes once you’ve become used to them.

Camping Gear

Also note the Duster can be taken on “some” Mountain Roads but it must not be taken into the Wahiba Sands or the Empty Quarter. The car does not have sufficient ground clearance.

Roof Top tents

Camping with a car roof top tent is becoming increasingly popular in Oman. Even in the summer, it’s nice to “Beat the Heat” and camp in the mountains, or join the Kite Surfers on the SE coast or Masirah Island, or even go to Salalah and enjoy the “Karheef” Monsoon.

Roof Top tents

Camping in Oman with a Car Roof Top Tent is becoming very popular. The climate in the winter months is perfect for camping and in fact, even in the summer months it is very nice to “Beat the Heat” and camp in the mountains or join the Kite Surfers on the SE coast or Masirah Island or even go to Salalah and enjoy the “Karheef” Monsoon.

Choose your Roof Top Tent

We have five types of Roof Top tent. The Intimate is the smallest tent and is good for one “Romantic” couple or one Adult. This can be installed on our smallest 4WD car the Duster. But the Duster does have limitations as to where you can go in the mountains or the into the Desert

All the other types of tent require a 4WD car with at least a 2.7 Litre engine.  The heaviest Roof top tent is the Type 2B it would be better to select a car with a 3.5 Litre engine or bigger. Which will give you more power on the mountain roads or in the Desert.

The Intimate  This is the smallest type. The tent is 1.2 m wide x 1.9 m long Suitable for One “Romantic” couple or One Adult. This tent is the easiest of all the tents to put up and take down.
