The 'Wahiba Sands' often described as a perfect example of a Sand Sea consist of large dunes running from North to South, some attaining a height of about 100 metres. Made famous by the exploits of Wilfred Thesiger, the Wahiba Sands are an opportunity to experience the sheer vastness of the desert wilderness and a night to remember with a sumptuous dinner while seated on Bedouin carpets and under the star-studded sky.

Guest Testimonial

I can easily say that nothing - nothing - in the natural world compares to an hour spent with wild mountain gorillas. An encounter with these magnificent beasts is absolutely without parallel.
