Wahiba Sands, also known as Sharqiyah Sands, is one of Oman’s most memorable desert landscapes. Rolling dunes stretch across eastern Oman, changing from pale gold to deep orange as the light moves across the desert.
Why visit Wahiba Sands
The experience is about more than simply seeing the dunes. Drive into the sands by 4WD, climb a dune for sunset, experience local hospitality and spend the night beneath a remarkably clear desert sky.
Stay overnight
An overnight stay is the best way to experience Wahiba Sands. The cooler hours around sunset and sunrise reveal a completely different side of the desert, away from the heat and activity of the day.
Combine it with Wadi Bani Khalid
Wahiba Sands also pairs naturally with Wadi Bani Khalid, making it possible to combine desert landscapes and one of Oman’s best-known wadis in the same journey through eastern Oman.
