Keith & Carrie - Wahiba Sands

With things having been so mental recently, we are slightly behind on our posts. This is from a few months ago but that doesn't take away from how much fun we had and what a pleasure it was to have our besties Keith and Carrie in town to visit!

There are a lot of things that Keith got up to whilst he was visiting that we won't be putting on the blog, but one of the many fun activities with them was a trip to Wahiba Sands. 

Wahiba is one of the deserts in Oman, approximately a 2 hour drive from Muscat. There are a number of small camp sites in Wahiba, but we decided to stay at the Desert Nights Camp as we'd heard that it was the best one around. 

The campsite is made up of over 20 private bedouin style tents (although as you'll see from the pictures it's very hard to believe that you're actually staying in a tent!) and a small hotel with restaurant.

On the evening we arrived, we took a car up to one of the dunes to get a better view of the campsite and watch the sun go down. The next morning, we were up early for a short ride on a camel, followed by poor attempts at sand boarding and rounded off with a couple of hours exploring the dunes properly on the quad bikes. Amazing fun; reminded me so much of my younger days!!
