Most accommodations of the province Sharqiyah are situated along the main roads of that region. Whoever wants to intensely experience the beauty of the mountains and the desert should be willing to book an overnight stay in one of the camps, even when they may offer a different standard of comfort than the most modern hotels.
The province Sharqiyah offers many interesting sights for visitors and is characterized by extreme contrasts: here the sands of the Wahiba desert stretch out to the waves of the Indian Ocean and to the eastern Hajar mountains. Old settlements in the oases line the ancient camel caravan route from Sur to Muscat. During summer thousands of sea turtles come to the beach to bury their eggs in the warm sand.
Because the number of rooms is limited and the quality is very different, we recommend booking through experienced tour operators
