Tilal Liwa Hotel

This beautiful ensemble of oriental architecture is managed by the Danat Hotels & Resorts chain. With its hundred rooms, the hotel remains human-sized and you can enjoy a quality and personalized service.

The rooms on the ground floor have no particular view, except on the inner courtyard and the pool, while some rooms upstairs have an unobstructed view of the desert.

Hotel facilities

Hotel Tilal Liwa has an infinity pool with a beautiful view of the desert through a majestic arch. The inner courtyard houses trees, fountains, sun loungers, tents and hammocks.

Leaving the hotel, there is an artificial oasis with a fountain and palm trees as well as many tents - a very nice place to look for freshness in the day or privacy in the evening.

Dining options include a buffet or à la carte restaurant (Al Badiya), Layali bar, poolside restaurant-bar (Al Liwan), and alfresco dining or tents at Al Dhafrah oasis (artificial).

The desert at the doors of the hotel is not really wild or immaculate, and you have to go far to see a virgin desert. In the morning or evening do not hesitate to venture into the desert to the nearest camel farm (on the right when you look at the desert from the pool) about fifteen minutes walk.

Information for booking and packages

Booking sites like our affiliate partner bookings.com may display different prices. In your comparison, be careful if taxes are included or not (16%) and if the prices are equal benefits (breakfast, number of people per room, wifi). On booking.com, the rating of the hotel Tilal is lower than that of another hotel in the area, The Liwa Hotel, which does not seem justified.
