The 'Empty Quarter' Desert Tours
Sumahram Falcon welcomes you to Empty Quarter, the biggest sand dune desert in the World. We offer 3 tours to suit a range of requirements. We also offer a range of tours around Salalah and the surrounding area to the East and West.
Full Day Sunset & Overnight Desert Trips
Our experienced tour guides will collect you from your hotel taking you up the 'Green Line' Salalah to Muscat Road, heading up into the mountains. First stop will be to take in the breathtaking views of Wadi Nahiz at the base of the mountain ravine. From here you will travel further into the mountains passing the spectacular Ragkot Valley famed for it's rare and expensive honey. Before arriving at Thumrayt you will take a detour to see Wadi Dowka, a vast plane littered with Frankincense trees. After passing through the town of Thumrayt you will leave the main road and travel on the old Frankincense Trail towards Shisr. Here you can find the ancient remains dating from the Iron Age, discovered by satellite technology, which are reputed to be the fabled 'Lost City of Ubar'. After a guided tour around the remains and a visit to the attached museum the journey will continue to the Bedouin camp site at Hadhef. From here you will travel along the Wadi Hadhef into the sand dune desert where you may disembark and climb the giant dunes, to savour the silence and beauty of the largest sand dune desert in the World.
