Just For You - Starwatching Private Camp

Activities from this extra-special place include a guided camel ride to the top of the steep dunes of Wahiba Sands to watch the desert sunset (and don’t forget your camera to capture the magic of 'golden hour' in the desert). You can also try a full-day camel trek leading off the tourist trail into secluded Bedouin villages. Another highlight of a stay in the Omani desert is the chance to go trekking with an expert Bedouin guide to explore nature and animal life in the desert. It’s an early-morning start to beat the heat as you look out for scorpions, mice and lizards in the sand. Or how about taking a four-wheel drive safari through the dunes to mountainous Wadi Bani Khalid (40 minutes’ drive)? This dramatic local landmark is surrounded by lush greenery and villages, and here you can also go wild swimming in the natural rock pool, take an Omani lunch with the locals and pick up embroidered shawls or filigree jewellery as souvenirs.
