3.Sunset Desert Safari Salalah Tour in Rub Al Khali – Empty Quarter

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 91 reviews · from $95

Travel from Salalah into Oman’s Empty Quarter with guide Mohammed Ali or another licensed English-speaking guide. Visit Wadi Dawkah’s frankincense trees and the lost city of Ubar, then walk, ride over dunes, and watch sunset across the sand. The private 4x4 option carries up to six people and lasts about eight to nine hours.

“Great way of hanging out in the Empty Quarter to enjoy the dunes and the sunset in the evening Muhammad Ali was a good guide to work with. On this trip though one of the woman (from Mxo) was the most selfish and inconsiderate traveler I ever encountered in my travels. Rather shocking.”
