About Wahiba Sands (Sharqiyah Sands)
One of Arabia's most spectacular desert landscapes — a vast sea of red-orange sand dunes stretching for 180km that rises dramatically from the flat coastal plain. The dunes reach over 100 metres high and the desert is home to Bedouin communities who have lived here for centuries.
Overnight camping under the stars in Wahiba Sands is one of the most profound experiences Oman offers. Sunrise and sunset over the dunes are extraordinary. Several desert camps offer comfortable glamping with traditional Omani hospitality.
