Wahiba Sands Desert and Wadi Bani Khalid Private Tour

After a drive from Muscat, we will arrive at a vast expanse of desert which is part of the Al Sharqiya Sands of Oman, also known as the Wahiba Sands or Ramlat al Wahiba.

Here you will experience the Omani desert in all its glory as wide swaths of undulating red and white sands swell across the landscape forming dunes that rise to 200m in ever-changing patterns as the winds sweep them from side to side.

The desert which we will be visiting is a home for the Bani Wahiba tribe where we can visit one of the houses to talk to the people there.

Then we move on towards Wadi Bani Khalid also known as Wadi Hayer or Wadi Hawer, which is a desert paradise in the middle of the sweltering sands. It is an oasis in the middle of date palm trees with a network of pools with sparkling blue water and a waterfall surrounded by intimidating rock valleys.
