Salalah & the Frankincense Coast

This itinerary is a suggested seven-night journey and can be adjusted according to the customer’s preferred dates, available accommodation and seasonal conditions.

Customers must not drive their rental vehicle independently into the Empty Quarter. The desert section must be operated by an approved local company using a suitable vehicle and an experienced driver.

The green landscapes, mist and seasonal waterfalls associated with the Khareef normally occur between approximately June and September. However, mountain visibility can be poor and the sea may be unsafe for swimming during this period.

From approximately October through April, customers can normally expect clearer skies, warm winter weather and better beach conditions. The scenery will be less green, but this is the most comfortable season for the Empty Quarter experience.

Customers should avoid driving after dark and must never enter a wadi during heavy rain or when a flash-flood warning is in effect. Routes and official travel advice should always be checked shortly before departure.
