Trekking on Dunes

Set amidst hauntingly beautiful landscapes, the deserts of Oman may seem foreboding, but in actual fact they offer some truly thrilling adventures. One activity that you can enjoy here is trekking on dunes and those in search of Oman hotels that offer such excursions can stay at Desert Nights Camp. This hotel in Oman is ideally located in the desert itself and provides a luxurious oasis from which to embark on unforgettable excursions.

Dune trekking is an activity that takes you on a journey of discovery over the impressive dunes that stretch across the desert. One of the most popular areas for this activity is Wahiba Sands where you will find colossal red sand dunes, some reaching to awe-inspiring heights of around 200 metres. Treks in the desert are best done early in the morning or in the evening so as to avoid the harsh midday sun. As you walk across the dunes it is easy to be over-awed by the sheer scale and beauty of the sea of sand that stretches all around you. Those venturing out on a dune trek in the evenings also have the opportunity to witness the stunning sight of the landscape being bathed in the colours of the setting sun.
