Running south from the Eastern Hajjar Mountains to the Arabian Sea, the Wahiba Sands, described as a Sand Sea, stretches almost 200 km in length and about 100 km in width. The dunes rise above 100-150 meters in different shades of golden, shifting sands, and are the perfect place for both the romantic and the adventurous. There are still Bedouin families living in this vast expanse of sand, and you can catch a glimpse of them on a roller-coaster-like ride over the dunes, a thrilling escapade, especially for those who are first-time visitors to the desert. At the end of the adventure, stop at a local restaurant to sample some of the region's finest dishes. The trip also includes a refreshing visit to the lush pools of Wadi Bani Khalid.
