    The Wahiba Sands, also known as Sharqiya Sands, is a vast desert region in Oman famous for its towering golden sand dunes that stretch for over 200 kilometers. This desert landscape offers visitors a true Arabian experience — from thrilling 4x4 dune bashing with skilled local drivers to immersing yourself in traditional Bedouin culture.

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.
