What you can expect

  • Begin your adventure with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Salalah. Head towards the historic Wadi Dawkah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the “Land of Frankincense,” where centuries-old Boswellia trees still grow.

    Continue your journey off-road along the ancient caravan routes once used by traders transporting precious frankincense across Arabia. These paths offer a glimpse into a fascinating past where camels carried valuable resin through harsh desert terrain.

    Arrive at the legendary lost city of Ubar (Shisr), often referred to as the “Atlantis of the Sands.” Explore this archaeological site and learn about its mysterious history.

    From here, prepare for an exhilarating 4×4 drive into the vast dunes of the Rub’ al Khali (Empty Quarter)—the largest continuous sand desert in the world. Feel the thrill as your expert driver navigates the golden waves of sand.

    Once deep in the desert, enjoy fun-filled activities like sandboarding and sledding down the dunes. As the day winds down, witness a magical desert sunset while sipping traditional Omani tea.

    As night falls, enjoy a delicious dinner under the open sky. Relax by the camp, soak in the peaceful atmosphere, and experience unforgettable stargazing far from city lights.

    Wake up to the calm beauty of the desert and enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast. Afterwards, begin your journey back towards Salalah. On the way, stop to see more frankincense trees in their natural habitat and learn about their cultural and economic significance.
