Wahiba Sands and Wadi Bani Khalid Tour

The Wahiba Sands, also known as the Sharqiya Sands, is a vast sea of undulating red and white sand dunes stretching as far as the eye can see. These dunes rise as high as 200 meters, creating a dramatic and ever-changing landscape. Photographers will find endless opportunities to capture the stunning patterns formed by the winds that sweep across the desert.

During your journey, you’ll have the chance to visit a Bedouin house in the heart of the desert, gaining insight into their nomadic way of life, which has remained largely unchanged for centuries. Here, you can enjoy traditional Omani hospitality and perhaps even a cup of sweet Bedouin tea.
