naturally grown Frankincense trees in the region. Discover the history of
Frankincense as well as its applications in the modern world. Proceed to
the “The Lost City of Ubar” (UNESCO World Heritage site), one of
the ancient sites in the Dhofar region where archaeologists using remote
sensing equipment discovered the city’s remains in 1992. Ubar is thought to
have been inhabited from approximately 2800 B.C. to approximately 300 A.D. and
was an important trading center for frankincense before being buried in the
rising dunes. At the site, there is a small museum displaying archaeological
discoveries. The bleak, arid desert of Rub al Khali, also known as
the Empty Quarter, stretches from the mountain’s foothills to an
enormous sandy plain that covers the majority of the area. The area is
well-known for its archaeological sites.
Enjoy the exciting and thrilling driving tactics in the fine sand
of the Arabian Desert in Rub al Khali. Take in a breathtaking sunset over the
dunes after that back to the hotel. That’s the conclusion of the tour.
