Desert Travel FAQs

How do I make a booking?

To secure your spot in an upcoming desert expedition, please contact us via email. Once you've confirmed your details and we’ve answered all your questions about the desert adventure packing, we will proceed with an online payment to finalize your Oman travel plans.

What clothes/gear should I pack?

For our desert adventure packing, especially during our Oman travel in a hot desert climate, we recommend packing light, breathable clothing along with hats or head covers. Don't forget to include windproof or thermal jackets for the occasional cool nights. Additionally, for our desert expeditions, we highly recommend hiking or trekking shoes, trekking poles for our uphill climbs, and swimsuits for the oasis pool (where applicable).

What books should I read to learn more about the desert?

We recommend Wilfred Thesiger’s masterpieces Arabian Sands and Arabia Felix, which chronicle his journeys across one of the world's most formidable deserts and his encounters with the Bedouin tribes. For those planning their own desert adventure packing, St John Philby's The Empty Quarter offers valuable insights. Additionally, Oman: Jewel of the Arabian Gulf and Oman (Bradt Travel Guide) are excellent resources for anyone interested in desert expeditions and Oman travel.

How do I know if I'm fit enough for your trips?

Our desert expeditions involve a lot of walking and driving, with some occasional uphill and downhill walks. You'll spend considerable time in a 4x4 vehicle, and camping will require adjusting to tent beds. As you prepare for your adventure, it's important to consider your desert adventure packing, especially if you have mobility issues or health concerns that could be affected by hot climates or sun exposure. We recommend discussing your plans with your doctor before choosing our Oman travel trips.

What meals can I expect on your expeditions?

Our desert adventure packing includes long-life legumes and vegetables, along with meat, chicken, canned tuna, processed cheese, dried fruit, and rice, which are essential for our desert expeditions. We grill on open fires and use powdered milk while in the desert. If you are planning Oman travel and have a serious food allergy or intolerance, such as Celiac disease, please be aware that we may not always be able to cater to your specific needs due to our limited resources.

How rough is the desert expedition experience?

Not at all. Your desert adventure packing will ensure that your trip is both comfortable and safe, keeping in mind that you'll be exploring the desert during your Oman travel. You'll need to adapt to life without standard toilet facilities or beds. That being said, the serenity and quiet of the deep desert will help you tune out the day-to-day noise and reliance on technology, and you may have some of the most restful sleep of your life during your desert expeditions.
