An optional camel ride is also available for those who want to complete the authentic desert experience. The silence of the desert, broken only by the wind and the sound of tires in the sand, makes this stop truly unique. It’s a perfect opportunity for photography and for learning more about Oman’s nomadic heritage. The visit typically lasts around 1 hour, giving enough time to enjoy both adventure and cultural connection before moving on.
