Desert Nights provides a picturesque setting to have your very own Arabian Nights adventure, complete with Bedouin-style tents, camel rides and more. This luxury tented camp sits amongst rolling red sand dunes and wadis, looking out to rugged mountains in the distance but just a two hour drive from Muscat. 

Head out by day, dune bashing through the sand and in the afternoon jump on the back of a camel and ride along the dunes as the sun sets - an experience not to be missed. Other excursions include a visit to the old fort in Mantrib to get an insight into the history here, a visit to the Wadi Bani Khalid with its aqua waters, shopping in a local Souq, a visit to a Bedouin family home and quad bike adventures. At the camp itself, you can relax in the recreation lounge with board games, movies, a library, pool table and children's play area. Traditional Omani fare is served but so are international dishes. A memorable experience is sitting by the campfire in the evenings as a traditional Omani lamb barbeque or ‘Shuwa’ is served under the stars. 

39 tents are scattered around the red sand with canvas roofs and pops of colourful furnishings inside. You’ll have air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, comfortable beds, a living area (and surprisingly strong wifi). Two-bedroom tents are also available, which are great for families. 

Desert Nights camp isn’t as far into the desert or secluded as other camps, however it is a great option for families and those wanting a luxurious tent to retreat to after a day of adventuring around the dunes and surrounding area.

Eco/Adventure - This category covers gorgeous lodges in the jungle, comfortable safari camps and dreamy, but simple, beach cabanas. These places defy conventional categorisation: what is communing with nature to one person may be terrifying bugs to another! Many of these places are very comfortable and the service generally of a very high level - but please read the website review carefully and/or talk to us and be sure to have understood what you are letting yourselves in for!
