Oman Empty Quarter Expedition make the right decision
The Empty Quarter demands respect for distance, heat and silence. Rub al Khali is not a backdrop, but one of the great desert landscapes in the world.
The most important decision is whether the trip should be a comfortable desert camp, a real multi-day expedition or a building block between Muscat, Nizwa and Dhofar.
