Description

Welcome to Al Rub al Khali (Empty Quarter) a world of harsh extremes that may rank as both the least, and one of the most hospitable places on Earth. Al Rub al Khali (literally, “quarter of emptiness”) is the world’s largest sand sea. At more than 583,000 square kilometers. We proceed to Khazaf for a unique experience at the spectacular dunes with their changing colors running together in great impenetrable ranks and towering with vast smooth slopes and knife-like ridges. If we are lucky we will meet some Bedouins and they will surly offer us to try camel milk and dates. 

We continue to Shisr to visit the ruins of the fabled Lost City of Ubar. This remarkable treasure was only discovered in 1992 with the aid of a NASA satellite, having been buried under the shifting desert sands for centuries. It is thought to be the famed ‘Atlantis of the Sands’ proposed by Lawrence of Arabia, a major hub on the caravan route between trading cities of the region. The town was reported to be a ‘paradise’, a place of unparalleled opulence that thrived as a center for trading local fragrances with exotic goods from the East.

Our last stop is at Wadi Dawkah, a UNESCO World Heritage Listed Wadi. A protected stretch of over seven thousand frankincense trees. The precious sap from these trees and others across the Oman landscape – brought the country great wealth throughout history, and increased its connections with other nations as the fragrance was traded as far away as Europe and China. Return to the hotel by afternoon. For sunset same itinerary till sunset time than back to hotel.
