Drive across the Qara Mountains and on to the Nejd area of Dhofar. Dhofars most remarkable and popular site with its unspoilt and magical sand dunes. We recommend it highly among Salalah Tours and Oman Day Tours as a whole and you will take an unforgettable memory to share with your family and friends back home. We make a brief stop at Thumrait which was famous as a Bedouin settlement. We drive further to the daunting Empty Quarter or Rub Al Khali. Here we find high sand dunes that rise to a height of 250 metres and above. From here, we drive to the lost city of Ubar, According to myth, the desert swallowed up Ubar.
Quite literally, it sank without trace -becoming the fabled Atlantis of the
Sands. This once buried city, which was spotted by satellite, gives you a glimpse of the value of work carried out by a team of explorers in 1982, led by Sir Ranulph Fiennes. We will have lunch at Thumrait. On our return to Salalah, we pass by Frankincense trees.

Definitely the tour for those who want to go beyond the surface. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The private car was comfortable and air conditioned. Absolutely appreciated when it was 104 F!

Das leere Viertel liegt ca 80km von Salalah entfernt. Wir hatten eine private Tour gebucht , nach ca einer Stunde ging es in halsbrecherischer Geschwindigkeit offroad durch eine Art Steppe wo es keine Straßen mehr gibt, der Weg läßt sich nur noch erahnen. Nach weiteren ca 30km waren wir dann in der Wüste, riesige Sanddünen und beeindruckende Formationen könnten wir bestaunen, es war wie in 1001 Nacht!!
Es lohnt sich, den Sonnenuntergang abzuwarten, er ist spektakulär ! Die Atmosphäre in dieser unendlich scheinenden Weite ( Größe Deutschlands) ist unbeschreibbar und mit nichts zu vergleichen! Absolut empfehlenswert . Auf dem Weg kann man noch den Weihrauchtrail machen, kann man sich aber auch sparen, ist wenig spektakulär.

Première étape "Ubar" la cite perdue retrouvée grâce a des photos de la navette Columbia et puis le Rub Al-Khali
le "Quart vide" qui porte mal son nom. Quelle beauté, des dunes à perte de vue mais pour qui sait attendre une faune extraordinaire ( renards serpents lézards etc) et une flore très présente après les pluies torrentielles du printemps ( 5 ans de pluie en 3 jours). Pour les amoureux des zones désertiques n'hésitez plus. C'est la qu'il faut aller avant la future invasion de tours operators.
