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

to get started.

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.

William, United States of America

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

Hanaa, Oman

Amazing experience in the desert! Everything you needed was available. Buffet dinner had a lot to choose from, local dishes as well as Indian and international options. "Tents" were very cosy! Complimentary sunset trip and camel ride were enjoyable!

Rooms are a bit depressing as too dark. Food is at best average. Due to the holiday weekend it was expensive for what was on offer.
Location is easy to get to and the staff were generally good. The dune trip in the evening was well organised and fun.

WiFi was terrible. Was too weak to do anything in the room. We were disappointed no shuwa was served
The camp style rooms were really nice, however the bathroom drainage had issues and caused a nasty smell in the room. The staff however organised for it to be fixed quickly. The complementary ride up the dunes to watch sunset was really appreciated. Really showcased the desert and the lovely location of the camp.

It was too noisy, close to another camp with 4x4s racing past at a all times. Not at all intimate, too large. The evening drink and nibbles in the dunes at sunset was very disappointing. Very expensive for the experience we actually received so not value for money.
The 'tent' was clean and comfortable, the food was good, the staff were very pleasant and efficient.

- the road is well signed, except the "entrance", means the signalisation at the mean street could be better / clearer. The road itself was good fun!
- What an experience. Great location of the camp. - Possible to reach with a rental car. 4x4 Jeep is needed. - very nice Rooms, really loved them. - The restaurant is amazing. Very nice buffet - for dinner and breakfast - nice included and offerable offers. - Try to arrive latest at 3.30 PM. Then you have enough time for the check-in and preparation for the sunset. - Sunset and Sunrise are a must. - The staff was very helpful, friendly and competent.

Not much to do other than the extra activities that cost more. A pool or relaxation place would’ve been nice. Hammocks or sinners outside chalet would’ve been helpful.
It’s surreal, set in between two huge sand dunes. Gorgeous and unusual.
