![]() ![]() With its hot, dry winters, Oman makes for a perfect destination at this time of year. But for those with a sense of adventure who like to get off the beaten track to witness nature at its most serene and beautiful and are prepared to rough it a little, this is an experience that will stay with you forever. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow. The camping, although comfortable with mattresses, tables and chairs, is reasonably rudimentary. This experience will not be for everyone. Here you will camp and explore, climb the dunes to watch the most stunning sunset, sit around a campfire and catch shooting stars, seemingly without another soul alive in the universe. The size of the dunes, the colour of the dunes and the scale on which this sand sea rides, stretching as it does over a quarter of a million square kilometres deep into Saudi Arabia and Yemen, is like nothing else. ![]() Your wild camp will be set up this evening in a remote area of the desert in a truly epic location. This fort is one of the best examples of defensive architecture in the country, and it’s worth climbing to the top of the tower to get a great view of the old town and modern city with it’s surrounding date plantations. This afternoon we visit the famous Nizwa fort, built in the 17th century to guard the Sumail Gap during the struggle between the Sultan and the Radical Imams. After lunch we drive down to the oasis city of Nizwa, once the capital of the powerful Omani Imamate. We then continue on to Al Hamra and its incredibly atmospheric old town, where there are mud houses dating back 400 years which are still occupied. This hike offers amazing views over the Grand Canyon of Oman, Wadi Nakhur. This follows a stony donkey track, and winds around the rim of the mountain to the abandoned village of As Sab, a total of around 6 km. This morning we will experience one of the most notable hikes in the country, the Balcony Walk. Renting a car is the most economical way to reach us.DAY 3: Grand Canyon Walk - Drive to Nizwa We do not provide transportation to and from the business.
