Embark on a breathtaking Sunset Desert Safari in Rub’ Al Khali, the world’s largest sand desert, also known as the Empty Quarter. This vast expanse of towering dunes, golden sands, and untouched wilderness offers a truly authentic Arabian adventure. Feel the thrill of dune bashing in a 4×4, take a peaceful camel ride across the endless sands, and witness the mesmerizing sunset over the dunes, painting the sky in brilliant shades of orange and red. After sunset, relax at a traditional Bedouin-style camp, where you can enjoy Omani coffee, local cuisine, and stargazing under the vast desert sky.
Begin your afternoon adventure in a 4×4 vehicle, driving towards the 'Qara' mountain range, offering stunning vistas of the Salalah plains dotted with thick shrub and woodland. On the journey back towards the desert, visit Wadi Dawka, a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the 'Frankincense Wadi.' Here lies the largest natural collection of Frankincense trees in the region. Learn about the ancient and modern significance of this prized resin. Stop for a short break in Thumrait, once a bustling Bedouin settlement, before heading west on a graded road across the vast gravel plains of Al Nejd. Continue to the Lost City of Ubar, another UNESCO World Heritage site, located 175 km from Salalah. Known as the “Atlantis of the Sands,” this legendary ancient kingdom was buried beneath the Rub Al Khali desert. Unearthed by satellite imagery in 1992, the ruins provide a captivating glimpse into a lost civilization. Next, venture into the Empty Quarter (Rub Al Khali), the world’s largest sand desert. Experience the vastness of its majestic dunes, and savor the breathtaking view of the desert landscape from atop the dunes. Witness the mesmerizing sunset over this endless sea of sand. After this unforgettable experience, return to your hotel in Salalah.
