Desert
A’Sharqiyah Sands:- A`Sharqiyah Sands is one of the most beautiful campsites in the Sultanate, covering an area of up to 10,000 square kilometers. Wilayat Badiyah is a beautiful oasis at the gateway to A’Sharqiyah Sands. For example, Al Raqah Oasis, surrounded by sand dunes on three sides, forming a spectacular landscape, Shahik Oasis and Al Hawiyah Oasis, the largest oases with many trees and surrounded by sand dunes. The Al Hawiyah Oasis is a prime example of this unique blend as it forms a lush peninsula surrounded by golden sandy beaches and stands on its own pedestal compared to other oases in the Sultanate. The steep sand slopes in the southern part of this oasis are one of the most beautiful places for sand skiing. Many tourist activities take place on these sandy beaches.
The Empty Quarter:- This is the largest desert on the Arabian Peninsula and has no oasis. To this day, there are vast expanses of unexplored no-man’s land. It is located at the northernmost tip of Salalah city, the capital of Dhofar province. A specialized company organizes guided tours of the Empty He Quarter led by experienced guides.
