 The Wahiba Sands
 The spectacular dunes that lie in the  center of Oman stretching over 180  kms from North to South. Their colour ranges from deep red to rich honey depending on the time of the day. A unique and fragile environment, these dunes are static unlike those of the Empty Quarter which march forward as the wind drives them.
