Oman today_ Wahiba Sands, also known as Sharqiya Sands, is a vast desert in eastern Oman, located about 190 kilometers from Muscat. The area features towering sand dunes ranging from 100 to 150 meters in height, making travel without a 4×4 vehicle extremely challenging. Visitors can explore off-road trails for an exciting experience of driving over soft sand and spend the night in traditional Bedouin camps, where the star-filled desert sky offers an unforgettable and breathtaking spectacle.
