Hi,
anybody interested in a desert trip through the Rub al khali desert end of February? 14 days, no cultur, no sightseeing just the amazing dunes. It´s not a workshop.

Hi,
I´ve done this trip organized last February with 5 other people and I said i have to go there again but then fitted for photographers interests. The two 4WD cars were in very good condition. exellent food ( no meat), more than enough drinking water ( but not for washing )So this trip will start in Muscat, the first night depends on the arrivaltime of the other people, but we try to reach the dunes at the first night. . sleeping outside or in a tend - up to you. navigation with satelite cards and GPS (traks) More than 1300km through the desert. We pass the dangerous quicksand fields Um as-Samim and drive from "The corner" along the Saudiarabian border in the direction to Jemen. Including flight from Europe, food, car, camping gear..... around 1700 EUR.
