Wahiba Sands

The Wahiba Sands live up to the picturebook images of Arabia – home to shimmering sands, graceful, slowly shifting dunes underneath a brilliant blue sky. The sands stretch over an area of 12500kmʻ, though they seem without end from the tops of the dunes, some of which are as high as 150m. But in the midst of this desert still lie Bedouin camps, and a variety of terrain sufficient to sustain 200 species of animals and birds, and 150 types of native flora.
