Hotel Details

Al Bandar, Shangri-La's Barr Al Jissah Resort    

Oman, 6 Nights, Bed and Breakfast

 Firmly established as one of the top resorts in the region, Shangri-La’s Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa is located on a secluded bay, 45 minutes drive from the airport and 20 minutes to Muscat Town. It is actually three hotels under one resort umbrella, each of which has its own style and personality. 

Desert Nights Camp    

Oman, 1 Nights, Half Board

For a true Arabian Experience we would highly recommend a night in the desert. The Desert Nights Camp is camping in style and is situated on the Wahiba Sands, 250 kms south from Muscat.

Each of the Bedouin style tents is air conditioned, with en suite shower, mini fridge, tea and coffee making facilities and outdoor sitting area from where you can gaze out across the dunes.

Buffet meals are served in the dining area. The rates include daily breakfast and dinner. Camel riding, dune bashing and quad biking are fun, available ways to experience the surrounding desert during your stay.

    Muscat, you will find out very quickly resembles very little from its Emirate neighbours. It is an elegant city that has preserved its culture but at the same time is very forward thinking and progressive.

    You can take it easy and watch ships pulling into the harbour or do as we did, explore the desert dunes and unspoilt beaches in the Sharqiya region.

  • Erica Moore

    Oman is a great mix of Arabic culture, deluxe hotels, great beaches, and strange moon-like landscapes with the odd camel thrown in for good measure! This fantastic country has something for everyone including beautiful romantic luxurious hotels for honeymooners and fantastic kids clubs for families with children of all ages. In addition to the pools and beaches, Oman is very proud of its culture and heritage and the museums, Grand Mosque and souks here are fascinating.

    One of my favourites, a real feast for the senses and not to be missed, is a trip out to the desert, perhaps with a stay at a luxury desert camp included. Here you have the opportunity to do some dune bashing, quad-bike riding and camel riding or you can just sit back and enjoy the beauty of Oman's desert landscape.
