Days 3 to 6 - BLD:Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday: 

About 4 hours on horseback per day. The horses are waiting for us for this ride of the "Sands of the Wahiba", named after the tribe of Bedouins who live there. During the next 5 days, we will ride in this immense desert, where the wind has sculpted the dunes. We ride on an ocean of ocher sand, and we totally immerse ourselves in this universe very different from ours. The Bedouins, masters of the place, live in dwellings made of palm branches, different from the large black woolen tents of the Arabian Bedouins, which are much too hot in Oman! Camel breeding in the sultanate is very active and famous and prices can reach exorbitant sums. It is a strange feeling to come across young cameleers who may be the owners of real champions who will compete on the racetracks of the neighboring Emirates. This ride plunges us into the Bedouin tradition. The Bedouins are different from other inhabitants of the Sultanate, it is a world apart, hospitality and very strict rules are applied in a community where everyone knows each other. A local craft is maintained by the women, young girls sometimes come to meet us to offer us bracelets, goat wool bags... The rhythm of this equestrian adventure is dynamic, wherever the terrain allows it, we will enjoy good gallops. and long trots.

Comfort camp overnights.

Day 7 - BLD-Friday: 

Earl  transfer and visit of Nizwa, the main city of the interior which was the capital of Oman. An oasis located at the southern end of Hajar Mountain, Oman's highest mountain range. The vast gardens and palm groves of the city-oasis are dominated by the old fort with the largest tower in Oman (40m in diameter, 20m in height). Falaj canals, over 500 years old, carry water into the oasis. Nizwa is an old trade with a large souk, where you can admire traditional silver jewelry and local crafts. Lunch in Nizwa.
