Bedouin Life In The Dunes
Experience the windswept sand dunes of the Omani desert around The Wahiba, otherwise known as the Sharqiya Sands.
Here you’ll get a glimpse of Bedouin life and traditions that are sadly rapidly disappearing. The Bedu families live a traditional nomadic life, spending their days raising livestock, using their great understanding of the harsh surrounding environment to get by.
Sit down and share a set of coffee and dates with a Bedu family, admiring their colourful handicrafts and learning about their lifestyle. If you’re up for an adrenaline rush, you can even head out dune bashing as you whizz around the dunes in a 4WD.
