Bidiya,Al Sharqiyah, 411 Shāhiq, Oman –

Lock in a great price for Desert Nights Camp – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

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.

Accomdation was nice inside . The staff were friendly , BBQ was great.

- we had a scorpion in our room. - the aircon didn't work properly (But I assume this will be repaired). - there is no real desert feeling as there are still large camps in the close neighborhood
- very good breakfast and dinner, - free drinking water - very good W-Lan - expensive but very good tour offers (e.g. 2 hour desert drive, 115.- Oman Rial)

Nothing really. One suggestion, a sand storm whipped up at the time we were having our complimentary ride up the dunes so we only had 5mins up there. Some people missed out all together. Might have been nice if they offered to do it at a different time.
Great situation. Loved the desert. Food wonderful and staff excellent.

I would recommend the camp staff to write extremely precise schema of how to arrive it. Using their bad-quality schema we got lost and spent 2 hours for it. Complimentary camel riding was not available during the hot season, but it was available for an extra payment. That made me confused.
Great experience, nice staff, delicious breakfast and dinners, fully-equipped tents.

Staff - front desk, who emailed to confirm reservation. When asked for proper direction to drive there, email went unanswered , disappointing! On arrival, no offer of coffee & dates. Got a feeling we were treated differently cos we are not Caucasians.
11km drive into Resort on gravelled road was OK, need to 4WD! Amazing view along the way with some camels seen! Tent/room - amazing! Bed is very comfortable! Ultra luxurious! Two aircon units serving one tent, which wasnt necessary. Food - amazing dinner with live BQQ section : fantastic kebabs! Love the outdoor seating, meal under the stars! Bfast was reasonably good Wifi - strong! Given the location, very surprising! Sunset view up the dunes - fantastic must do! No complimentary camel rides between April-Sept tho , which was disappointing Good value for $$

“Incredible Fantastic experience”
- • Leisure trip

Only point that we were disappointed was the Sunrise Camel ride excursion in the early morning. By far to expensive, for 2 little rides of approx 20 minutes, the rest of the time (total time 90 min) was the break to watch the sunrise (not on the camel) The distance was very short, just a few hundred meters from the camp. I do absolutely not recommend this, which is completely overpriced (over 100 Euro per person)
Location middle of the Desert, fantastic. The dinner buffet and breakfast buffet were very good, did not expect such quality and choice in the middle of nowhere.

I think it would be amazing if places like this offering 5star service and quality would consider trying to minimize their single use plastics. All and all it is pretty good, but they have an opportunity to set an example for the rest of their hospitality counterparts and I think their clientele would definitely support this.
We loved our stay at the property! Communication was prompt and we had a complimentary desert transfer from the nearby town. Our room was not quite ready when we arrived so the driver took us out for a quick lap around the camp, and we were lucky to be upgraded to a tent which we were very grateful for! The food was excellent, the rooms comfortable and clean. I wish we had stayed two nights.

Nothing.
We had a fabulous time here, and wished we had much longer. Most people are in and out of the hotel to have a brief experience of the desert. However, one of our favourite parts of our stay was sitting outside the 'glamping' tents, relaxing and just listening to the wind and the birds. The activities were great fun and the food at the buffet dinner was delicious. The rooms were extremely comfortable. This was the highlight of our stay.

There is nothing to do at night, camp fire so everyone can get together perhaps! After dinner, everyone just went back to their room- need to create more atmosphere of the night time at the camp.
Beautiful set up, comfortable enough to be in the desert.
