A Trip Into the Desert in the Wahiba Sands Region of Oman
As the desert accounts for roughly 82% of the land mass of Oman, you would be, quite literally, missing a large part of the country by skipping a trip out into it.
Our trek into the desert was only a one night stay at a camp located about 30 kilometers inside the Wahiba Sands region of the country, and turned out to be the highlight of our stay in Oman.
The following photo essay is a selection of our best photos from the 400+ we took during our overnight stay in this stunning destination.
| The desert appears out of nowhere, and within moments overtakes everything. |
| Cars and roads are replaced by camels and sand. |
| And apparently marathon runners, too. |
Camp Life
| Premium housing in the desert for those not wanting to “rough it” in a permanent tent? Crazy! |
| Our humble home for the night in the Omani desert. |
| No roof, no problem! |
Don’t Miss the Dune Bashing
| Going on top of the dunes for an hour or so of dune bashing is an experience we’ll never forget. |
| It feels a lot like a roller coaster, except for the fact that you’re in a truck. |
| When you see the trail from the last truck and realize that is where you’re going, you know it is going to be good. |
| Many times you slide down a dune at an angle because, well, that is how it works in the desert! |
Sunset
| The highlight of dune bashing is ending the experience ontop of a high dune and watching the sun set. |
| Nothing between you and the sun but miles upon miles of open desert. |
| …and then the heat finally fades away. |
So whether you rent a vehicle with 4-wheel drive (recommended), or go at it on your own, do not miss a trip out to the Wahiba Sands when you are in Oman. The desert is indeed a vast and empty place, but those who skip venturing into it will be missing out on one truly amazing experience.
We can’t wait to go back.
