Ubar Tour Full Day

Your Travel Experience with Travco Egypt

Embark on an unforgettable full-day jeep adventure into the heart of Oman’s legendary desert landscapes and ancient history.

• Drive to Rub' al Khali (The Empty Quarter): Begin your journey with an exhilarating off-road drive in a 4x4 vehicle into the vast expanse of the Rub' al Khali Desert, also known as the Empty Quarter. This is the largest sand desert in the world, stretching across several countries in the Arabian Peninsula. Marvel at the towering orange sand dunes, some reaching heights of over 100 meters, as your experienced driver navigates through this surreal and tranquil landscape.
• Visit the Lost City of Ubar (UNESCO World Heritage Site): Deep within the desert lies the Lost City of Ubar, a place steeped in myth and mystery. Once a thriving center of trade and culture, Ubar was buried under the sands for centuries and rediscovered in the 1990s. Explore the ruins of this ancient settlement, often referred to as the “Atlantis of the Sands,” and learn about its significance as a major stop on the frankincense trade route.
• Soft Dune Drive Experience: After exploring Ubar, enjoy a soft dune drive, where your driver will skillfully navigate the gently rolling sand dunes, giving you an exciting yet comfortable desert driving experience—perfect for photography and soaking in the stunning desert vistas.
• Visit Wadi Dawkah (UNESCO World Heritage Site): On your return, stop at Wadi Dawkah, also recognized by UNESCO for its cultural significance. This dry riverbed is home to hundreds of Boswellia sacra trees, the source of Oman's famous frankincense. Walk through the plantation and learn about the harvesting process of this precious resin, which has been traded for thousands of years and was once considered more valuable than gold.
