Overview

With an unbeatable setting in the silky dunes of the Omani desert, the 5-star Desert Nights Resort offers 55 luxurious Bedouin-style tents and 33 deluxe rooms for those seeking the ultimate desert adventure holiday. The Desert Nights Resort is situated on the Wahiba/Sharqiya sands, a 2-hour drive from Muscat. This secluded area covers 11 km 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 Resort are available at an extra cost for those travelling by vehicles not suited for desert driving.

It’s expensive but the property delivers and with the wonderful sunset experience, we considered it worth it.

Very good location, only a short drive in to the dunes but still fabulously located amongst them. Complimentary lift to the top of an adjacent dune to view sunset. The villas are beautiful, in Arabian nights style but with mod cons (a/c etc). Not much interior lighting! Dinner and breakfast are substantial buffets. The tables and chairs are primarily set up for groups, so independent travellers can suffer in terms of being seated well.

We had a lovely stay at Desert Nights Resort. The facilities were excellent and there was plenty to do - activities were varied and organised. The resort delivered exactly what we wanted from a desert experience. Everything worked well and we enjoyed our time there. Would recommend.

Very pleasant.

We liked the location; the tent where we slept; the quietness; that they take you by car to the top of the dunes to see the sunset. Dinner and breakfast good too.

10/10 worth every penny

I am not usually writing THAT positive reviews, but I can’t comprehend how amazing this resort and the whole experience are. It goes far beyond expectations. You simply can’t prepare yourself for it. You might think it’s quite expensive and justify it with “it’s in the desert.” But you know what? Yes, it is in the desert and everything is absolutely worth it. The villa interiors, air conditioning, staff, experiences (dune bashing, camel rides, quads), and especially the food are all outstanding. Our biggest mistake was booking just one night.
