General
Trips are Thursday mornings and we need 24hrs notice.
A full days bird watching can also be done.
You will be with an experienced bird watching guide to give information and help you identify that unique sighting.
Why so many birds?
Twice a year millions of birds migrate and to avoid flying over the Indian Ocean they use Oman as a land bridge between two great landmasses of Asia and Africa.
From the beautiful Little Green Bee-eater to the Huge Lappet-faced Vulture will make this trip unforgettable.

| Camel and Desert safaris | 1 day to a full weeks holiday |
A true Bedu experience:
We operate with the Bedouin families of the Northern Region Sands (Wahiba) in the Sharquiya and organise expeditions in the Rub Al Khali in Dhofar, both along eco-touristic lines. Camel trips or 'Safaris' can vary in length from a short daily ride from a campsite to a 14 day camel safari through or across the sands. Safaris go Bedouin style, riding and living in the desert properly with your guides and camels as one.
We will pick you up from the hotel and take you down to the desert by 4 x 4 car to meet the Bedouin family. (each car can hold 4 people) You will enjoy traditional Omani food, after you can experience a short try on a camel. This is a true Bedouin family and make there living with Camels and goats. If you stop overnight with them we provide a tent with mattress and bedding.
I can not emphasize enough how good this experience is. These are naturally beautiful people and from so little you can get so much. Prices: 2-day trip incl. Sur and Wadi Shab
