The great Wahiba sands are longitudinal dunes
200 km long and 100 km wide running south from
the Eastern Hajars to the Arabian Sea. The dunes
are 100-150 metres high in shades of colour from
orange to hues of amber. Bedouin camps can be
found along the tracks and trails in this
isolated desert. In sporadic areas can be found
stands of single-species woodlands. Where the
sands meet the ocean, outcrops of aolianite
(sand compressed into rock) can be found
displaying unusual and attractive abstract
shapes. Here the beaches mellow into soft shades
of yellows and whites.
To
the west of the Wahiba of the small towns of
Rawdah, Samad Ash Shan, Al Akdar and Lizq.
Rawdah and Samad Ash Shan contain ruins and
reconstructions of old forts while Al Akdar is
the home of Omanis pit weavers who design
elegant textiles from their looms dug into the
ground. At Lizq can be found remains of
structures that date back to Bronze Age. South
of Lizq are the prosperous towns of Al Mudaybi
and Sinaw where you can find almost every day
the bustling Bedouin souq at the centre of town.
