Al Rakah Oasis

Named after the arak trees at the head of its falaj, Al Rakah is a shaded oasis of palms and citrus at the very edge of the sand. It was historically a caravan meeting point and is today surrounded by camps, huts and chalets.

Bedouin families here host visitors for coffee, dates and camel preparation, and evenings end with Taghrud and Wanna singing. The village also has its own camel racetrack.
