Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, start from the nearest town, Al Qabil. Head east on Route 23 for approximately 15 km until you reach the entrance of Wahiba Sands. Once you enter the desert, follow the signs or a GPS navigation system towards Sandglass Camp located at coordinates 22.5015847, 58.7074869.

The camp is situated approximately 30 km into the desert from the entrance, and it might take around 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach. Make sure to carry plenty of water and fuel, as services are limited in the desert.

For those relying on public transportation, take a bus or shared taxi from Muscat to Al Qabil. The bus ride usually lasts about 2-3 hours and costs around 5-10 OMR. Once in Al Qabil, you will need to hire a local 4x4 taxi to take you to Sandglass Camp.
