The tent on every car we rent

Roof tent 4x4 rental in Oman: the hard-shell tent on every car

One tent, fitted to every Pajero and Montero, included in the price. A hard black shell that keeps dust and rain out, khaki canvas that breathes at night, and a ladder that packs into the shell. This page shows you exactly what you'll sleep in.

How it opens

1
Release the two side latches. They're on the driver's side; no tools.
2
Lift the shell. Gas struts do the work — one hand, from the ground.
3
Fold out the extension. Pull the canvas section forward until the support poles click.
4
Drop the ladder. Telescopic, extends to the ground from any height; it also holds up the extension.
5
Closing is the reverse. Tuck the canvas in, lower the shell, latch both sides. Check both latches before you drive — even 10 metres.
Open on the Montero — Jebel Shams
Closed on the Pajero — ready to drive

Sleeping in it: the rules

Two things to know before the first night. Everything else is in the rental terms.

Not allowed

Driving with the shell open or unlatched · More than 2 adults in the tent · Cooking or open flame inside · Parking under date palms overnight (falling fruit dents the shell)

Need to sleep more than 2?

Add the additional ground tent to your request — a 2-person pop-up tent with mats, OMR 3 per day. The roof tent is always fitted; you can't swap it for a second roof tent. Need four or more cars? See group and travel-agent 4x4 rental. Planning where to sleep? Start with our road trip itineraries — Wahiba Sands is the night people book the tent for.

Roof tent questions

Anything else — email [email protected], we reply within 24 h. Booking questions are on the main FAQ.

Can I rent the roof tent without a car?

No. The tent is fitted to our Pajeros and Monteros and included in the daily rate. If you want the car without the tent, that is OMR 45 a day.

How long does it take to open?

Under 2 minutes, one person. You do a 10-minute walkthrough at the depot before you drive away.

Is the bedding included?

Yes: a 6 cm foam mattress, fitted sheet and 2 pillows. Sleeping bags or blankets are not included — bring your own or add one for OMR 2 each.

Can more than two people sleep in it?

No, the roof tent sleeps 2 adults. For a 3rd and 4th sleeper, add the ground tent for OMR 3 a day.

Can it be driven with the tent open?

Never. Close it and check both latches before you drive, even for 10 metres.

What if it rains?

The shell and canvas are waterproof, and the tent stays dry inside. Don't pitch in a dry wadi bed if rain is forecast upstream.

Same tent on every car, from OMR 55 a day.

Per calendar day, 3-day minimum, everything on this page included.
