The emptiness, the sheer size and the uncompromising nature of the Wahiba desert has a romantic appeal all its own. As a visitor, you become infused with a sense of adventure by powering up the side of a mighty dune aboard an all terrain vehicle.

Make sure that Desert Night Camps in part of your experience – put it on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Oman – and you’ll discover the desert has yet another dimension. You’ll be staying in a sumptuously appointed, modern day, Bedouin-style tent. Complete with canopied beds, fantastic designer bathrooms, gorgeous fabrics, local Arabian artefacts and the bewitching fragrance of frankincense and myrrh. A true ‘Arabian Nights’ experience.
