Rub al Khali, biggest connecting sand desert in the world...
I had wanted to always go on a camel trip, having watched "sheltering sky" it was a dream of mine. My mother always thoughtful had sent me a link of a german travel organizer called bedu expeditions and last year I finally saw a window and had the money to book a tour.
My plan was to go to Morocco, but first of all it was not that safe there and after carefully considering that most camel tours involve 5-6 hours walking, I asked Peter the owner of Bedu travel where to go and what tour might be the best. He suggested the Oman tour with the landrovers.
Desert, you either love or hate it and I love the desert and the widespread quit and spendor paramount space.
Its hard to describe and when I climbed the gigantic dunnes and overlooked the the red sand almost only 15 miles from Saudi Arabia with the sunset and being so far into it with no roads, it felt free.
The lack of advertisement, homelessness, drunken people and gacking men was really relaxing.
You could not buy alcohol anywhere, other then a few hotels and men where dressed neatly in white.
Omani women wore black because they distunquish themselves like that feom the Indian and Pakestani women in the North.
Men going shopping holding children in their arms and being affectionately, buying presents for their wifes.
This is a country of "moderate Islam" where women drive and go to school and often control the money in theor marriage.
