I'm writing this review based on my previous experiences in other 5-star hotels so if you haven't stayed in one yet, you can expect to get your first nice experience in a "luxury" resort in DNC. However, we have stayed in some 5-star hotels and were expecting good service although we had read some of the bad reviews (still wanted... More

We went to Desert Nights as part of a tour within Oman and to celebrate my husband's birthday and had an amazing time. This was in spite of the rain which meant that there was no sunset the night we were there. The lightening over the sand dunes was amazing though. We were very impressed with the accommodation and everything... More

It hard to imagine a better desert hotel destination then The Desert Nights Camp. The tents not only have one air conditioner in it but two. This is unheard off in desert travel. Its hard to imagine how much you appreciate this convenience until you experience 40 c days in Oman. The bar and lounge are very nice. The restaurant... More

I spend my Birthday in February a Desert Nights Camp and one birthday that will be hard to top! The experience was sensational. They organised an evening dinner on top of the apricot sanddunes, lite by gas flames sourrounding the dinner table. It made history as this was the first time they have ever done this.

It is arguably a most thankless task to try to provide an "experience", when autheniticity may mean discomfort and comfort may undermine the very authenticity one aims to proffer to your visitors. Desert nights camp is caught in that dilemma and in my opinion has probably erred in its desire to provide comfort to the detriment of authenticity. As someone... More
