The Empty Quarter, or Rub Al Khali in Arabic, is the world's second largest desert. It covers the southern third of the Arabian Peninsula, stretching from Oman into Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the western UAE. Its huge sand dunes reach up to 300 metres.
Ubar, the Atlantis of the sands, is a legendary lost city in the southern Arabian desert. It is believed to have been destroyed by a natural disaster, or as a punishment from God, as mentioned in the Quran.
Many expeditions have searched for it, and NASA has taken photos. Traces of a city were found, but no one is sure it is the lost city the Quran calls Iram of the Pillars. The site has many names: Ubar, Wabar and Iram.
This is a unique trip, and the Empty Quarter stands out among Oman's beautiful places.
Votre journée
Drive across the Qara mountains to the Najd area of Dhofar and stop at Thumrait, known as a Bedouin settlement.
Continue towards the desert and Ubar, the lost city believed to have been swallowed by the desert without a trace.
Explorers such as Wilfred Thesiger and Ranulph Fiennes visited Ubar, and it is linked to texts in the Quran.
Beyond Ubar, see the mega dunes of the Empty Quarter, which rise to 250 metres and more.
Search the sand for the small geodes scattered around (finds are rare on this tour).
Have lunch at Thumrait (optional).
On your way back to Salalah, you may see a UNESCO site with frankincense trees.
