Wahiba Sands

This destination, which sprawl for kilometers across Oman's central desert, is known as the Wahiba Sands. The Wahiba Sands is an ocean of uniform dunes that seem to extend forever. The towering heaps of sand, pale gold at noon, turn rich yellow and coppery orange as the sun sets lower in the sky. The Bedu people dwell here, and it is a popular tourist destination for those looking for the real, original, and traditional Oman.

You can have a tour that allows you to ride on the back of a camel and camp in the desert beneath the stars to know more about the nomadic way of life in the Wahiba Sands. Many guided tours begin in the city of Ibra, which serves as the main entrance to the Wahiba Sands.
