It is a little realized fact that 80 percent of Oman is desert, and who is to blame, when the country is full of such natural beauty and the perfect mix of old and new. It is hence obvious that any visitor cannot deny the elegance of its golden sands capes, nor refrain from witnessing the vastness of it. The most prominent desert in Oman is Sharqiyah Sands, which was previously known as Wahiba Sands. The dunes here are almost 200 meters in height. Well known among the tourist for the sunsets watched here, which are said to be awe-inspiring. It also transforms into a mystical place after dusk, as the millions of stars cover the sky and almost light up the sands into oxidized silver. The desert can be seen on camelback or aboard a four-wheel-drive vehicle. The choice is yours, whether you want to opt for the traditional camel with its slow pace or conventional four-wheel drive that allows you to even venture into some sand-bashing thrills.

Experiencing a desert safari in Oman gives you a glimpse of the true Omani culture and traditions. Maybe meet a Bedouin family who can share how they live in such harsh desert conditions. You can even stay over night at one of the camps in the desert. All you have to do is ask your travel agency to hook you up with the best desert safari available within your budget. Either way, the adventure of traversing the deserts of Oman will be one that goes down in your life’s book as ‘something special’.
