Rub' al Khali (The Empty Quarter) - Dunes of Dhofar
Extending across the southern Arabian Peninsula, the Empty Quarter offers an otherworldly wilderness of endless parabolic dunes. Expeditions departing from Salalah take travellers to the legendary Lost City of Ubar (Atlantis of the Sands) and luxury Bedouin glamping retreats under crystal constellations.
“The world's largest continuous sand desert, home to towering 250-meter crimson dunes and silent starlit camps.”
