to get started.

Our stay at Desert Nights Camp was fantastic. We were initially unsure about turning off of the main road, but afterwards, there were several signs, making it clear that we were headed in the right direction. Everythjng was well organized, and the room was very clean. We really enjoyed the sunset experience up on the dunes and the short camel ride the next morning. The dinner and breakfast were also great (good variety and very tasty). We were only there for one night, but in hindsight we definitely could have spent another night or two. Extremely happy with our choice, and can highly recommend!

Carrie, Switzerland

Sunset on the dunes above the camp was great, generally friendly, helpful staff.

Jean, United States of America

Nice tent house with everything you need; very good dinner buffet with BBQ; amazing sunset view from top of the dunes.

Tom, Switzerland

Everything. Beautiful and comfy rooms, great food, especially the romantic shuwa dinner in the dunes, dune buggy riding, sunset views, sandboarding, service, staff.

Maria, Thailand

Location in the middle of the dessert it was very beautiful. Rooms were great, and a nice touch was that there was no TV. Really had a relaxing time.

Yousef, Kuwait

Beautiful camp, above expectations. Food selection was very good. Breakfast was very good including tasty croissants

Fabrice, France

This is a great place! Our only mistake is that we only stayed over night. If you go, stay for a least two nights to really enjoy all that they have to offer.

Dawn, United States of America

Plenty of activities but not touristic. The staff adapts to your needs and times and all activities are pretty much customizable for a price(!). Big bedrooms, clean and quiet.

Matildenff, United Kingdom

The rooms are well appointed and charming. Set apart for a private feeling, while part of a village. And, of course, on the desert floor between the towering dunes, so you really are "in" the desert.

“A good way to experience the Wahiba sands, and fitted nicely between Nizwa & the coast.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Tented Suite
- • Stayed 1 night
We were glad that we had not booked a second night, as there is little to do except the expensive tours. In fact, the noise of the quad bikes was very noticeable for people just wanting to sit & read. There is no pool (would be hugely expensive to run one), so you need to be able to entertain yourself. Alcohol cannot be consumed in the public areas, including the restaurant.
Watching the sun set over the dunes was very relaxing. My husband especially enjoyed the included camel trip. Excellent buffet for both supper & breakfast. The 11km drive out to the camp is well signposted, easy to do in a car with fat tyres (and possible in a normal saloon if you are experienced & your insurance permits). There are even pins on Google Maps. We have been to similar desert camps (e.g. Wadi Rum in Jordan), and this was a far superior experience. For example the music at supper was live musicians playing traditional instruments (although back a the tent, the less subtle music from the adjacent camp was more prevalent).

Breakfast is more or less always the same in these kind of locations. Ok but nothing special. Some noise in the evening from the other camp which is 200 meters (or a bit more) further.
Very nice luxurious camp in the desert. Very nice room and bathroom.

Dinner could have been better,it was OK but maybe it was their interpretation of Arabian food that did me! BBQ meat was overdone. Should have told ladies to have a scarf over their head and hair when on the dunes,wind = sand in hair!
Fine on both counts ie the breakfast Location good,service good,being looked after dune bashing in a landcruiser and led by Rashid on quadbike dune bashing was really great,he knew his job creating a memorable part of the Oman for us

Activities become rather expensive, if you want to do more than one. At dinner, salads & desserts were good, but main courses were very moderate.
Excellent location. Stylish and well designed site. Good experience of the Omani desert for the tourist, without roughing it. Range of activities. Staff very helpful. A la carte lunch was very good.

The staff. - Google maps had the wrong location and no one from tjhe staff told us we would not have lost our way - There are no signs telling us that the camp was after the main intersection to the city. - Our car was stuck in the sand in the middle of the night and no one bothered to come for help. - The place is way overpriced to what it offered. - Because of the delay we were very late for dinner. They didnt even bother to provide us with a replacement. We wanted to hae dinner the second day as a replacement for the dinner we have missed do to a mistake from the hotel and other mishaps. They said we couldnt as dinner was prepared in advance and we were not told so. Due to the rudeness of the staff we decided not to stay in that camp anymore The pictures of the camp are misleading We requested to change from two tents to one family tent and they didnt offer paying us back the difference
The in room facilities were good We like the desert that is why we wanted to go there Some nice view of sunset not far away However the place was way overpriced
