Places to visit and wildlife notes

Here is a list of just some of our favourite places to visit in Oman. They are all places that we would recommend for a self drive safari although some of them (such as the Empty Quarter and Wahiba Sands) can not be visited without a guide owing to extremely challenging navigation and difficult driving conditions.

This is not a comprehensive list so if there are other places you are keen to visit and would like further information please just let us know and we'll be happy to help.
