Embark on a thrilling full-day adventure in the Wahiba Desert and Wadi Bani Khalid. Drive through the dunes, visit a Bedouin home, and relax by the crystal-clear waters of the wadi.
- Wadi Bani Khalid - Wadi Bani Khalid is one of the best-known wadis in the Sultanate of Oman.[ Its stream maintains a constant flow of water throughout the year. Large pools of water and boulders are scattered along the course of the wadi. As a geographical area, the wadi covers a large swathe of lowland and the Hajar Mountains.

Journey over the desert’s sandy dunes by a 4WD, and feel a surge of excitement as you navigate the vehicle through challenging terrains. Traverse towards Wahiba Sands to observe the characteristic dwellings of desert wanderers and Bedouin tribes. Keep your eyes peeled for nomads travelling the desert, watching as they guide their camels. Take the opportunity to visit a Bedouin residence situated amidst the barren backdrop, juxtaposing the stark landscapes with the vibrant, blue essence of Wadi Bani Khalid. Savour a serene break under the cover of palm trees, observing petite villages interspersed along the wadi’s slopes. Gape in awe at how residences cling determinedly to the steep mountainside. Don’t forget to pack your swimwear for a refreshing swim in the enticing waters!
