to get started.

Location is beautiful but it was very hard to find as the address in booking.com takes you to a completely different location. Please update the address in booking.com so you don’t waste time. The property is reachable only if you drive a 4x4 or you need to call the hotel in advance to arrange a pick up. The property is very pretty, rooms are very decent and bathroom is spacious. Everything was very clean. Food was also very good (dinner buffet and breakfast Staff at the restaurant is also nice and accommodating.

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.

The Desert Nights Camp is located on the Wahiba/Sharqiya sands, a 2-hour drive from Muscat. This secluded area covers 6.8 mi of beautiful desert landscape.

Several free services are offered to the guests, including drive up to the dunes in a 4x4 vehicle to watch the sunset, with light snacks and soft drinks served on the trip.

Also camel rides within the camp premises in the morning are available, and transfers between Al Wasil town and the Desert Nights Camp are offered for those traveling by vehicles not suited for desert driving.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

The tents are fully equipped and comfortable. Definitely the right thing for spoiled Europeans ;) Dinner (live barbecue) and breakfast of high standard and with delicious food. A lot of activities offered, only the sunset ride was for free. The prices for the rest are reasonable though. The location is amazing (of course there is still some civilization around) and still easy to reach (4x4 might be not absolutely necessary but definitely more comfortable). Price of hotel is very reasonable, not sure about the rates during night season though.

The experience didn’t start well because the address on booking.com wasn’t correct and took us to a different location. After calling the hotel it was difficult to understand where to go because the staff didn’t speak English properly. We had to ask several times until someone that spoke a better English was able to explain. After arriving the property the staff at reception isn’t the most friendly but the staff taking our luggage is very friendly. The ac in the rooms needs improvement as it was still hot and super noisy. So if you are looking for a peaceful night the ac is super noisy. These little improvements make all difference.

“Glamping win!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Tented Suite
- • Stayed 1 night
Some of the add-on activities seemed very expensive.
The glamping "tents" are actually very luxurious suites with a small living room/majlis area, covered porches, a modern bathroom and all the fixtures (minibar, fast WiFi) that you would expect from a standard hotel room. We were extremely comfortable! Staff were very friendly and lavished attention on us (we visited during the low season). The food was surprisingly excellent, with a nice range of Western/Middle Eastern/South Asian options for dinner and breakfast. The ride to and from the camp was fun, and we greatly appreciated the free transfer from the nearby petrol station, as our tiny rental sedan was definitely not built for desert travel. Communication with staff before and during our visit was excellent. We appreciated that there was a complimentary ride to the top of the dunes for sunset viewing included in our stay. The camp was quiet at night (note: low season) and we saw a variety of desert wildlife around the camp in the evening. The camp location is great--just far enough inside the desert that you feel surrounded by dunes, but still very close to town and the main highway back to Muscat. We also felt it was a bit more sustainable from an environmental perspective to stay on the edge of the desert rather than deeper in it--we had read that some types of desert recreation (ATVing, dune bashing, etc.) wreaks havoc on desert ecosystems. This was definitely the most comfortable way to experience "desert" life!
