Begin your journey with a visit to Ain Razat, one of Salalah’s most beautiful natural springs. Stroll through its serene gardens and enjoy the cool, shaded walkways surrounded by greenery — a peaceful introduction before heading into the desert.

Continue to Wadi Dawkah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its centuries-old frankincense trees. Learn about the region’s deep connection to the ancient incense trade and admire the vast landscape dotted with Boswellia Sacra trees.

Relax and enjoy a traditional lunch in Thumrait, a desert town once inhabited by the Bedouin. This stop offers a chance to recharge before entering the deeper desert territories.

Next, explore the archaeological site of Ubar, often referred to as the “Atlantis of the Sands.” Discover the legends and history surrounding this ancient caravan city, believed to have vanished beneath the desert sands for centuries.

Feel the silence and vastness of the Empty Quarter. This part of the journey offers dramatic desert landscapes, endless horizons, and the unique tranquility that only the deep desert can provide.
