Holidays to Wahiba Sands | Hotels in Wahiba Sands | Oman

Wahiba Sands offers you the ultimate desert experience to add-in to your holiday to Oman.

These beautiful dunes, known as Wahiba Sands or Sharqiya, could keep the visitor occupied for days. Home to the Bedu (Bedouin), the sands offer the visitor a glimpse of a traditional way of life that is fast disappearing as modern conveniences limit the need for a nomadic existence.

The Bedu specialise in raising camels for racing and regular camel races take place throughout the region from mid-October to mid-April. The sands are a good place to interact with Omani women whose Bedouin lifestyle affords them a more visible social role.

They wear distinctive, brightly coloured costume with peaked masks and an abeyya (outer garment) of gauze and are accomplished drivers, often coming to the rescue of tourists stuck in the sand. For the casual visitor, the best way to explore the sands is by staying at one of the desert camps.
