Glamping in the Desert

Discover a private desert escape like none other as you lose yourself in the beauty and silence glamping in the Wahiba Sands. At Arabian Nights Resort & Spa, glamping transforms into a deeply personal desert journey, one that blends exclusivity, culture, and pure serenity.

This is not just glamping; it’s your own private estate in the desert, where luxury meets solitude and the dunes stretch endlessly around you.

The Desert Drive

Your adventure begins the moment you set out for the resort. Journey across rolling dunes on a thrilling off-road desert drive, as every turn unveils the shifting landscapes of the Sharqiya Sands. Feel the pulse of the desert beneath your wheels as you travel deeper into its golden heart, far from noise, far from everything.

Visit to a Bedouin House

On your way, pause at a traditional Bedouin home to experience a warm Omani welcome. Sip aromatic kahwa and taste sweet dates as you hear stories from families who have lived in the desert for generations.

This is where you connect with the timeless spirit of Oman, its traditions, hospitality, and gentle wisdom passed through the sands of time.

Arrival at Your Private Desert Estate

When you arrive, the desert opens before you in stillness and light.

A personal butler greets you with chilled refreshments, guiding you to your exclusive campsite, surrounded by endless dunes.

Here, privacy takes on a new meaning, with nothing but the horizon around you and the soft hum of the desert wind.

Your tent blends modern luxury with Arabian charm, creating the perfect space to unwind and absorb the tranquillity that only the desert can offer.

Camel Ride to Camp

To arrive in true desert style, you can choose to ride by camel from the Bedouin house to your campsite. Let the gentle rhythm of your camel and the golden expanse of the dunes carry you back in time to the days of the old Arabian caravans.

Sunset Sundowner

As the sun begins to descend, climb the dunes or ride gracefully on camelback to watch the sunset over Wahiba Sands. The skies shift from gold to rose to indigo, and the world seems to pause for a moment of pure beauty.

Sip on coffee, soft drinks, or water, and enjoy dates and light snacks as you take in this mesmerizing view — a memory that stays long after you’ve left the desert behind.

Dinner Under the Stars

When night falls, your private chef invites you to dine under a blanket of stars in a beautifully set Majlis tent. Enjoy an indulgent five-course dinner, blending Omani flavors with international flair, as the aroma of live barbecue mingles with the cool desert breeze.

It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience of stillness, elegance, and connection to the elements.

Campfire & Stargazing

After dinner, gather around a crackling campfire. Let its warmth and glow draw you in as you watch the stars unfold above you.

In winter, this is the perfect time for stargazing, the desert sky here is astonishingly clear, and the stars seem almost within reach.

Guests often describe this as the most peaceful moment of their stay, surrounded by silence, firelight, and an infinite sky.

Oud Performance

Add a touch of local artistry to your night with a live Oud performance, where the soulful tones of Omani music drift through the air. The melody of the Oud, played under a star-filled sky, creates a timeless atmosphere that perfectly captures the spirit of Arabia.

Retire for the Night

As the evening deepens, your butler and staff quietly take their leave, ensuring you have complete privacy. A phone remains within reach should you need anything.

Then it’s just you, and the whispering desert under the stars.

Morning Tea or Coffee

Awaken to the gentle light of dawn and the rhythm of shifting dunes. Your butler arrives at your preferred time with freshly brewed coffee or tea, setting the perfect tone for a tranquil morning in the desert.

Private Breakfast with a Chef

Enjoy a private breakfast prepared by your chef, served outdoors beside your tent. Watch as the desert slowly awakens, its colors changing with each passing minute. This peaceful start to the day is as rejuvenating as it is unforgettable.

Sunrise on the Dunes

For early risers, a guided trek or camel ride to the top of the dunes offers an unforgettable view of sunrise over the Wahiba Sands.

As the first rays of light paint the desert in hues of amber and gold, you’ll understand why this moment is considered one of the most magical in Oman.

In-Tent Head or Foot Massage 

Enhance your stay with a soothing massage in the privacy of your tent, performed by skilled therapists using gentle, restorative techniques. Perfect for relaxing after your desert adventure, this service can be booked in advance while reserving your stay.
