Embark on an exhilarating journey to the Wahiba Sands, a vast desert spanning 12,000 square kilometres, where shifting sand dunes change colours with the light. Known as "Rumlat Al Wahiba, or Al Sharqiyah Sands," this stunning desert landscape is home to the fiery Bedouins who have lived here for centuries. As you drive through the dunes in a 4x4 vehicle, feel the thrill of navigating the undulating sand, expertly guided by your driver. The ever-changing dunes, ranging from tall, sweeping sand ridges to smaller, more delicate formations, offer an unforgettable desert experience and are sure to leave a lasting impression on first-time visitors. We can visit a Bedouin Family and enjoj the Desert Atomsphere with traditional Hospitality. Optional you can experience Dromedary Ride, Henna and buy some homemade Handicrafts/ Souveniers.
