Get the most affordable, enjoyable and adventurous private tour to the Empty Quarter desert on the market. Explore the vastness of the desert areas with different shapes of dunes. Experience the adrenalin ride on the dunes with our expert drivers who will get the best performance out of the terrain cars. Then you will climb the dunes yourself dipping your feet in the moving sands. Enjoy the breathtaking views on the sea of sand from the dunes´ peaks while the sun slowly moves to the horizon. Before the sunset, you can take the best pictures of the desert landscape with the sun setting over the dunes. On the way to the desert, you will visit Wadi Dawka, a valley where thousands of precious Frankincense trees grow and give the valued harvest of frankincense drops. From there you will continue on the Frankincense route to the lost city of Ubar whose ruins stand witness to the glorious past when the city served as a center for the incense trade.

A very well organized trip that brought me and my family incredible experiences. especially the sunset in the desert is beautiful. The guide was very pleasant and gave us a lot of information. We also had a rental car from the same company and everything was in perfect order. I recommend it to everyone.

The tour was great and our guide Azuz is a nice guy very experienced. The desert is not to be missed when in Salalah and the private tour is the best way to live it with your timing.

Wir wurden von unserem Guide vor dem Hotel abgeholt und in einen Teil der Wüste gefahren, wo man definitiv nicht allein hin gekommen wäre, auch mit einem Allrad Fahrzeug nicht. Unvergessliche Tour. Auf dem Weg dahin noch einen Kamel Eigentümer aufgesucht und Kamel Milch gekostet. Sehr lecker. Unterhaltsame und interessante Tour, wenn auch nicht ganz günstig.
