Thousand Nights Camp

We stayed in this property for 2 nights - Ameer Tent. As the property is only accessible by a 4*4 vehicle, we had to ask hotel to arrange for a shuttle service to and fro. Overall the stay was very comfortable and staff was extremely helpful. The breakfast and dinner spread was good. My kid really enjoyed at the play area. Following points wherein property needs to work on 1. Wifi is only available at reception and restaurant area. As I was carrying some work and travelling with a kid, I felt that wifi should have been across all the resort and not at just specific areas 2. There was no dedicated landline number to dial for reception. They had give a cell number but as I was having network issue with Omantel carrier, it was not always working. It was really uncomfortable to go to reception and ask for help. 3. The hotel should provide room to reception / activities buggy to at-least family with small kids and elderly persons. We were informed that buggy was only user to carry luggage. 4. The activities for the desert were really expensive even though we enjoyed quad biking a lot ! Overall the stay was very satisfying and we would love to visit again.

觀星體驗很棒，自助餐豐盛，有音樂演出，接送服務也很棒，值得作為旅行目的地

A balanced view. This was our 2nd desert camp. The good points - big buffet restaurant, permanent "tents", super 1hr stargazing by an enthusiastic astronomer. Air conditioned tents with en-suite bathrooms and lots of hot water. But the “tents” are permanent structures made to look like tents. The not so good points - the camp is in the valley so you can't witness the sunset without paying exorbitant prices to be taken up onto the top of the dunes. The dunes in the valley aren't the prettiest, scrub everywhere. Not easy to climb onto the dunes. The activity prices are unreasonable. Looks like many tour groups use it. It's a big! Camp can be 100s. Overall not very authentic. The swimming pool is tiny and didn’t look inviting. The 26 mile drive from Bidya Shell Service station takes about 1hr. Easy enough to follow the telegraph poles all the way. Just one small section to climb the dunes. Escorted transfer cost 20 OMR Much preferred Alsamardi Desert camp which was much prettier, closer to Bidya, smaller, and very communal with fabulous sunsets Not the prettiest of dunes. transfer
