An authentic Arabian adventure

The golden sands of the Wahiba in Oman have fascinated travellers throughout the ages. The vast expanse of Oman’s desert can now be a memorable and luxurious base for those seeking an unique desert adventure with the newly opened Desert Nights Camp, a destination situated at Camp Al Wasil.

The Desert Nights Camp experience can be tailor made and complimented with a variety of day activities such as desert safari’s, camel rides, dune bashing in a 4x4 jeep, and wadi bashing. Enjoy a campfire and traditional Omani festivities as the sun sets over the Wahiba plains then retire to one of their several Bedouin-style tents with fully air-conditioned bedrooms, bathroom and living area.

Desert Nights Camp is the latest unique addition to Oman’s authentic portfolio of luxury accommodation. Firmly establishing its place in the luxury market, Oman has also recently added the Evason Six Senses Resort to its portfolio of five-star properties, joining The Chedi, Shangri-la Barr Al Jissah Resort, Al Nahda Resort and Grand Hyatt.

2008 will see further developments such as Golden Tulip’s latest addition to the Sultanate, the Royal Golden Tulip Mirbat as well as the opening of the refurbished Al Bustan Palace. The Sheraton, Muscat, one of the city’s architectural landmarks and the tallest building in Oman will also re-open on 1 October 2008, following an extensive refurbishment programme.

Oman Air, the destinations national carrier started a daily direct non-stop service from London Gatwick to Muscat in November 2007 following a major rise in UK visitor figures over the past three years.
