Rub Al-Khali Sands
The genuine desert! Rub Al Khali is the largest desert in the world, it crosses part of the country, and there it is better preserved.

Before you head off on this track, ensure you have a suitable supply of water (minimum 4 liters per person a day).

Hundreds of camels galloping on the tracks at a crazy speed. They carry on their backs remotely controlled tiny robot jockeys . Races are moments of intense emotional release. Owners of the animals drive their 4×4, follow their camels on parallel tracks, honk and howl to encourage them. Ambiance…
