The journey

A professionally guided self-drive expedition designed to give you the freedom to discover Oman from behind the wheel, with expertly prepared vehicles, carefully planned routes and dedicated support throughout. Over 1,279 kilometres the paved roads give way to remote trails — mountain passes become wadis, rock turns to sand, and the desert reaches the ocean before the journey finishes deep inside Wahiba Sands.

Private airport transfer and a relaxed day to recover from travel.

Into the mountains — Dhabab

After final vehicle preparation the convoy leaves Al Jarda and climbs into Oman’s interior through Niqsi, Mazbar and Mihalah to Wadi Dayqah and Jabal Abyad. The machines stop at Wadi Al Arbiyeen for a hike and swim before continuing to the coast at Dhabab. Mountain trails, technical rocky terrain and dynamic off-road driving.

Day 03

From rock to sand — Wahiba Sands

From Dhabab and Fins the route climbs again toward Jabal Abyad and the remote landscape around Majlis Al Jinn, then drops through Halut toward Wadi Bani Khalid. Rock gives way to sand as the convoy enters Wahiba Sands and the night ends surrounded by dunes.

Drive ≈ 148 km

Day 4: Desert to ocean — Al Ashkhara

Morning begins inside Wahiba, but today the convoy heads for the sea — fast, open rally-style sections through Falaj Al Mashayikh, Asilah and Al Dafah as the Arabian Sea approaches. The desert meets the coast, and beach sections carry the group to Al Ashkhara.

Drive ≈ 251 km

Day 5: The long coast south — Sugar Dunes

Day 05

The long coast south — Sugar Dunes

One of the expedition’s longest stages, following a remote corridor where desert and Arabian Sea repeatedly meet — Khuwaimah, Qahid Bowl, Juweirah and Ras Al Ruways. After Mahout the sand turns white and the day ends among the extraordinary Sugar Dunes.

Drive ≈ 330 km

Day 6: The final crossing — Wahiba / Al Rakah

Drive ≈ 385 km
