Wahiba Sands

Gorgeous part of the country and the world! Easily accessed, expansive, loads to explore, great to spend the night so you can enjoy a peaceful sunset, a sky full of stars, and sunrise. Spectacular.

Amazing place. Well worth the visit. If you are oman you at least need to spend a few hours in the desert. Would highly recommend.

One of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen! Beautiful place and worth a visit! Staying in the desert felt surreal!!

Our trip here was part of a Full-Day Wahiba Desert and Wadi Bani Khalid Group Tour. We returned to the car and drove a short distance to Bidiyah to get the tyres deflated ready for the desert. There then followed some driving to show us what angles the 4*4 could drive out and how to take the steep ridges without launching over the top. We passed several small camp sites, some hobbled camels and a few other 4*4s before stopping so we could get out and have a wander. The sand was amazingly fine but a lot easier to walk on than expected and it was beautiful to see actual sand dunes. It was also rather hot! We spent maybe 15 minutes walking up and down dunes and taking photos before returning to the car. After reinflating the tires we drove back to Muscat. It was a long way to go for 15 minutes but the overnight options were very expensive and it gave me the photos I wanted.

It is best if you take local guides with cars and go for riding accross the dunes. The sunset is magic here!

great experience in doing a dessert crossing with the guide Oman team. Always suggest to go with a team those who thoroughly know the dessert.

Better than Dubai sand dunes mainly coz less crowded and flexible driver , I had booked my stay in Rashid wahiba sands he was the best owner of the property has well has driver to our sand dunes early for sunrise

A worthwhile desert playground to visit while in Oman! Plenty of desert camps to choose from which offer all kinds of activities like dune bashing, camel rides, ATV rentals, etc.
