Set in Central Coastal Oman, the locally-known Wahiba Sands, also known as the Sharqiya Sands, is a vast desert featuring rolling sand dunes located just south of the city of Sur. The desert stretches for an impressive 170 kilometres along the Arabian Coast and features dunes reaching up to 100 metres in height. Visitors can stay overnight in one of the many camps. Popular activities include 4WD tours (dune-bashing), camel rides, guided horse rides, trekking, sandboarding, and quad biking. Don’t miss the opportunity to pick up some skillfully handcrafted goods such as traditional camel bags and colourful woollen key rings. Views of the uninterrupted starry night sky will charm you, the golden sunsets and sunrises will mesmerize you, and the Bedouin traditional way of life will enchant you.
