Home of the Majlis al Jinn (مجلس الجن), the second-largest known cave chamber in the world, plus some great examples of Oman's ancient 'beehive' tombs at Jaylah, the Selma Plateau is a desolate and sparsely populated stretch of high elevation planes that form part of Jabal Bani Jabir in the Ash Sharqiyah Region.

With its wild, misty beaches, rocky reefs, great fishing, nesting turtles, and - bizarrely- a whole lot of rusty old Land Rover Defenders, Masirah only opened up to tourism in the 1990s. Today it remains an oftentimes spooky and desolate destination, but one that really refreshes the soul and is perfect for a long weekend of lazy camping, swimming, and fishing- or as a side trip if you're journeying along Oman's coast.

The Shifting, Drifting Sharqiyah Sands - The North-South Crossing
recommended route
Difficulty
difficult
151.4 km

698 m
994 m
Accessible within a couple of hours from the Capital Area, the Sharqiyah Sands (also known as the Wahiba) offer a genuine desert experience, plenty of excitement, and some stunning scenery. Oh! And camels. Lots of camels!
For those interested in a longer and more challenging trip with a night under canvas thrown in, I'd like to recommend the North-South crossing. Sand conditions vary in difficulty along the way, as does the landscape, so this is one for more experienced off-roaders, especially if you plan to go 'off-piste' (as we did)
