Flora and Fauna
Thousand Nights is characterized by its unique location. Situated in a tranquil oasis; a rare jewel in the heart of the Sharqiyah Desert, it is home to a diverse species of plant, bird and animal life from the majestic Arabian horse to the graceful gazelle, and the Arabian Oryx. Here at camp, we invite you to listen, watch and discover the many songs of the desert birds and the sheer beauty of the Arabian Oryx. Come and sit beneath the cooling shade of the (that tree), prevalent within the campsite, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of our enchanting oasis.
Bedouins
The Bedouins community have always been the cornerstone of this camp, and a living element of this desert entity. Bedouin women visit the camp selling handmade treasures and trinkets, Bedouin men provide tours exploring the mesmerizing terrains on camelback or 4WD and others work on the site of the Camp.
Going Green
Thousand Night Camp believes that enjoying the beauty of nature is a right that everyone should have, and that nature deserves our undivided attention and care, so the camp is designed to provide an environmentally friendly tourist experience by using solar energy to generate light and heat water, as well as reducing the use of plastic containers. Our eco-friendly tourism packages preserve and safeguard the grandeur of this magnificent Oasis.
Water
In this enormous desert, Bedouin house is everywhere. They are part of its shifting sands, and they, like the sands, migrate, travelling across its dunes with their families and cattle, halting only when there is water and shade. This water has altered their fate. It provides nutrition and life amid the harsh desert, and the wells here are named for the individual who dug them. Water is more than simply valuable. It is life itself that guides their beat. For your convenience, we have brought water from local wells as well as water delivered all the way from the city to 1000 Nights. To combat desert heat and drought, the camp also supplies cool drinking water to passers-by and water basins for animals. The Bedouin’s difficult struggle to collect water makes it a blessing that must be kept and utilized with care. We recognize the importance of water, and we hope you do as well. Please use water with caution.
