Itinerary

1. South of Ibra stretch the magnificent Wahiba Sands (Ramlat al Wahiba; also known as the Sharqiya Sands) – “a perfect specimen of sand sea”, as they have been described. This is the desert as you’ve always imagined it. A huge, virtually uninhabited swathe of sand, with towering dunes, reaching almost 100m in places, sculpted by the wind into delicately moulded crests and hollows.

   1 h

2. Wadi Bani Khalid is one of the best-known wadis in the Sultanate of Oman. Its stream maintains a constant flow of water throughout the year. Large pools of water and boulders are scattered along the course of the wadi

• 5Wadi Bani Khalid

  We had an amazing experience as a family on this tour! From exploring Wadi Bani Khalid to the thrilling dune bashing and enjoying delicious traditional food, everything was perfectly organized. A special thanks to our host, Ghusun, who truly went above and beyond to make sure the entire experience was family-friendly. Traveling with a 6-year-old can sometimes be challenging, but he made sure our child was comfortable, safe, and included every step of the way. Highly recommend this tour for families looking for a memorable and well-cared-for adventure!
