   Thumrait, Al Hashman and the desert camp

   First, stop for a short break in the town of Thumrait, known for its Bedouin settlement.

   Continue west on the graded road across the gravel desert of Al Nejd to the sand desert at Al Hashman, where the dunes are clearer and more spectacular.

   Your driver takes you dune bashing over the sands of the Rub Al Khali, an exciting and thrilling drive.

   Watch the sunset behind the dunes before you reach the campsite, where you can also ride a camel.

   At the camp, enjoy traditional dates and Arabic coffee, then a barbecue dinner and shisha (the Arabic water pipe). Spend the night at the camp.

   Ubar the Lost City and Wadi Dawka

   After breakfast at the camp, continue to Ubar the Lost City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This legendary ancient kingdom is thought to have stood in one of the most inhospitable places on earth, the forbidding Rub Al Khali, also known as the Empty Quarter.

   Legend says the desert swallowed Ubar without a trace, like an Atlantis buried in the sand.
