Answer
Well, that's an unusual site for Y!A but what you're looking for is a teepee, sometimes spelled tipi, or a ridge tent.
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3400803.htm . . .
Argos do a teepee cheaper than most ridge tents that size but it's still quite a bit to fork out and it'll likely need a bit a bit of work on it before trusting it in wet weather.
It's much better if it's put up in Arabia with nice silk curtains and gold ornaments around and white fluffy carpets on the floor and some warm nights that are more comfortable for suitable night time activities like star gazing.
The sight of the heavenly bodies at night can be truly awesome and for many of them no telescope is required.
Here is some gen about the Argos 12 person teepee and the smaller 4 person one with a photo of the smaller one on the second link in my answer and comments from users of 12 person and the smaller one.

In the photo with the girl reading the tent she's in is a large ridge tent which you can get from many manufacturers all over the world.
In UK Blacks do a big one and the early Vango Force Ten tents were that shape too but now they are geodesic domes and tunnels.
Here is the classic Force Ten, as used by hundreds of Everest climbers.
You'll see Force Ten tents on Everest all through the year...if you go there.

A look in any camping shop or the on line sites will give a good choice of large ridge tents cheaper than the Vango and capable of providing a comfortable living area for three or four people.
These are up-market..as pricey as the Vango Force Ten.

For space to move and have a party one of these would fit.

The Relum Giant Pearl is probably more the size you had in mind though. It's a nice tent, well made and with good headroom.

Another camping question...what tent?

OpDieBerg

I asked a question about camping in a previous thread and people were very helpful.

I called the UK store www.gooutdoors.co.uk but they don't ship the tent that I want to the US nor can you pay with a US credit card. So I'm screwed.

I've been looking on all the camping websites like rei,com, marmot.com, sierratravelpost (something like that), cabalas, etc. I cannot find a tent on a US website that matches up with the High Gear Mojave 5 or High Gear Atakama 5 tents from that UK store. I'm looking for a tent with no less than two rooms, waterproof at least 3000mm HH, and sleeps 4 plus. Oh and the rainfly must be all the way to the ground if it has one.

Is there any other tent site in the US that has more variety and that has possible matches like thos High Gear tents I mentioned? They are also cheap. The ones I found so far that more or less match those are a lot more expensive than the High Gear ones.

Any ideas? thanks guys.

Answer
Hi, I'm in the UK. Only people who know little about tents or who want a cheap tent for a one-off camping holiday in good weather or for garden use would buy those High Gear tents you're after.
You can get a good one and you can also get a very bad one. Luck of the draw what you get.

For decent quality, good waterproofing and a reasonable price look at Coleman. I have three Coleman tents of different sizes, the tiny super-lightweight Raid and the Viper for treks and a family tent for use on camp sites and I never regretted buying any of them.

Vango and REI also do good ones at a decent price. Vango's Force Ten tents like the Spindrift are used on Everest and other high peaks.

Many original style canvas Force Ten ridge tents were also used on Everest... Mine is over 30 years old and still good.

Their family tents are well made and good value.
