Designed to showcase the country’s most iconic natural wonders, this journey seamlessly blends adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. Whether traveling privately or as part of a group, this tour offers an unforgettable experience of Oman’s pristine oasis and captivating desert.

Your journey begins with a visit to Wadi Bani Khalid, one of Oman’s most picturesque wadis.

Spend your afternoon exploring the sands, taking part in thrilling activities such as dune bashing or simply marveling at the vastness of the desert’s stillness and beauty.

As night falls, immerse yourself in the magic of the desert with an overnight stay at either the luxurious Sama Al Wasil Camp or the charming Arabian Oryx Camp. Both options provide an authentic desert experience with comfortable accommodations and warm Omani hospitality. Enjoy a traditional dinner under a blanket of stars, where the serene ambiance of the desert night is the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening.

The following morning, wake to the soft hues of a desert sunrise, a truly mesmerizing sight. After a hearty breakfast, take a moment to reflect on the unique experiences of the previous day before beginning your journey back to Muscat. The peaceful solitude of the desert and the vibrant energy of the oasis will leave you with lasting memories of Oman’s remarkable landscapes.

The overnight stay at the desert camp was an exceptional experience. However, the wadi visit was slightly less enjoyable due to overcrowding. Sadly, we missed the chance to meet the Bedouin family.
