Overview
Our pioneer route is based on our experience in travelling off road for long distances and our ability to prepare a unique camping experience for our travelers. The planned route starts from Muscat where we can admire the Omani culture and history, then camping in the beautiful Hajar Mountains. Followed by a real adventure crossing the empty quarter northern part following Wilfred Thesiger foot steps and crossing Wahiba sands too makes this tour excellent for desert and dunes lovers.
