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
First experience with A&K. Intended to ask various travel companies for quotes but Vicky (Agnew) was so good with her suggestions that we did not seek alternative quotations the suggested itinerary was excellent and helped us decide on a balanced and interesting holiday.
