7-Day Oman Camping Journey

Our longest journey and the one we are proudest of. A week of sand, water and stone, sleeping in canvas camps we set ourselves, eating meals cooked over the fire.

The itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Muscat to the dunes

    Coastal drive out of the capital, then camp at the foot of the Wahiba.

  2. Day 2

    Into the sand

    Camel walk at dawn, then a slow day among the dunes and a Bedouin lunch.

  3. Day 3

    The wadi descent

    Track the waterline down to a hidden swimming pool between canyon walls.

  4. Day 4

    Empty coast

    Drive to the shoreline for a swim in the warm Gulf and a fishermen's dinner.

  5. Day 5

    Dune camp, night sky

    A clear evening, tea on the sand, and a sky with no light for miles.

  6. Day 6

    Rock fields and forts

    Walk the boulder plains, then a mud-brick fort with stories our guides grew up on.

  7. Day 7

    Return to Muscat
