But, week after week, expect to be wowed by dazzling shows.
The Dakkat Oasis is where you chill
It is simple to be taken in by the frenetic pace of activity at Riyadh Oasis. But take a minute and select from the various seating areas at the Dakkat Oasis. With each one having its own distinctive feel and style, perhaps you will get a chance to take a leaf out of W. H. Davies’ poem on Leisure and find some time to stand and stare. So, take your time and relax around palms listening to the peaceful melodies.
Lavish camping experience under the stars
Surrounded by golden-reddish sand dunes, the night camping at the Oasis is an amazing experience where the visitors get to stay in lavish tents, with outstanding outdoor seating, live music, special menus, and other entertaining shows.
