Wild camping in the dunes
No permit, no fence, no sound. Just the ridge you chose and the stars.
Oman allows free camping, and the sands are the place to do it. Drive in a few kilometres from Al Wasil or Al Ghabbi with a second car, choose a flat bowl between ridges away from bushes, and light the tent so late drivers see you. Take every scrap of rubbish out. Weekends are noisy near the entrances; weekdays are silent.
💡 Tips
- Never camp alone or without a second vehicle
- Snakes and scorpions live under bushes
- Firewood is scarce: bring charcoal
