Itinerary

Wadi Dawkha
120 min

Wadi Dawkah is a serene oasis nestled in the Dhofar region of Oman, approximately 40 kilometers north of Salalah. Renowned for its vast frankincense trees, this natural park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The wadi, a stony, semi-desert valley, is home to thousands of ancient frankincense trees, their sap prized for its aromatic qualities.

Wadi Dawkah offers a peaceful and immersive experience, allowing visitors to connect with the rich history and natural beauty of this unique Omani landscape.

Thumrait

Thumrait is a bustling town located in the Dhofar region of Oman, approximately 100 kilometers north of Salalah. It serves as a major commercial hub for the region, known for its thriving livestock market, agricultural activities, and industrial development. The town is surrounded by fertile plains, where farmers cultivate various crops, including dates, mangoes, and pomegranates. Thumrait also boasts a vibrant souk, offering a wide range of local products, from fresh produce and handicrafts to traditional Omani textiles. With its strategic location and growing economy, Thumrait is a dynamic and exciting destination to explore in Oman.

Admission not included120 min

Wubar, also known as the "Atlantis of the Sands," is a captivating historical site located in the Dhofar province of Oman. Once a bustling trading hub, Wubar played a crucial role in the frankincense trade, a lucrative industry that connected the Arabian Peninsula to ancient civilizations around the world.   The site is renowned for its well-preserved ruins, including ancient buildings, fortifications, and a vast network of underground irrigation channels. Archaeologists believe that Wubar flourished for centuries before being mysteriously abandoned. Theories about its decline range from natural disasters to social upheaval. Wubar's significance extends beyond its archaeological value. It offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Arabian Peninsula and the people who inhabited it. Visitors to the site can explore the ruins, learn about the ancient frankincense trade, and immerse themselves in the mystique of this lost city. Note: Admission fees 3 OMR Per Person Not Included

Empty Quarter
120 min

The Empty Quarter, also known as Rub' al-Khali, is the largest continuous sand desert in the world, spanning parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates. In Oman, this vast expanse of undulating dunes forms a dramatic and awe-inspiring landscape. Characterized by its towering sand dunes, which can reach heights of over 300 meters (984 feet), the Empty Quarter is a harsh and unforgiving environment. Temperatures can soar to extreme levels, and rainfall is scarce. Despite these challenges, the desert is home to a surprising diversity of flora and fauna, including adapted species like sand gazelles, Arabian oryx, and various reptiles. For those seeking adventure and a glimpse into the raw beauty of nature, the Empty Quarter offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Visitors can embark on guided tours, explore the dunes by camel or four-wheel drive, and witness the mesmerizing spectacle of the desert of the desert under a starry night sky
