We’re a family of 3 who decided to spend a birthday in the Liwa desert. Chanced upon Bab Al Nojoum Bateen Liwa and booked a night. It’s about 3hrs drive from AD, location-dependent. Everything is great; from the accommodation, to the staff and service. We were throughly impressed by the whole set up. What could be improved was the long waiting time between the buggy which you have to call for. Best call at least 5-10mins pre-departure so it comes as we’ve been left waiting for us to 30mins. You can walk to the main hall but it depends on how close your villa is to the main building and tolerance for the heat. Buffet meals could be improved with a balanced Arabic and Western palate and thoughtful meals for children (not just fries and nuggets). More signages online and onsite on activities is highly recommended as well as we’re left wondering what else is there to do. Apart from these little things, excellent stay. No mozzies issue, some little critters but you are in their terrain and otherwise a fab stay. Have recommended to friends to consider this place for a stay during winter.
