Descrizione

Explore the Empty Quarter and the Lost City of Ubar on a full-day safari from Salalah. Discover UNESCO frankincense trees and breathtaking golden dunes in Oman’s largest desert.
Your journey begins with hotel pickup in Salalah in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle. Travel toward the lush foothills of Dhofar for your first stop at Ain Razat, a peaceful natural spring surrounded by gardens and shaded walkways.
A refreshing introduction before heading into the desert landscape.

Continue to Wadi Dawkah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its Boswellia Sacra trees. Learn about the ancient frankincense trade that once connected Oman to civilizations across Arabia, Africa, and the Mediterranean.

Drive onward to Thumrait, historically a Bedouin settlement and caravan hub. Enjoy a lunch break at a local restaurant (optional) before venturing deeper into the desert.

Next, explore the archaeological site of Ubar, often called the “Atlantis of the Sands.” Discover the legends and history of this ancient trading city that once thrived along frankincense routes.

Your adventure continues into the vast Rub' al Khali (Empty Quarter), the largest continuous sand desert in the world. Experience thrilling 4x4 driving across towering golden dunes, stop for panoramic photos, and admire the dramatic transition from rocky plains to endless sand seas.

Take time to absorb the silence and immensity of the desert, with opportunities for unforgettable photographs. Depending on timing, enjoy a scenic stop in the dunes before returning comfortably to Salalah in the evening.
