One of the remarkable aspects of Sharqiya Sands is its diverse ecosystem, which manages to thrive in such an arid environment. The desert is home to a variety of flora and fauna that have adapted to survive in these harsh conditions. Acacia trees and shrubs dot the landscape, providing shade and sustenance for the creatures that call this desert home. Arabian oryx, sand gazelles, desert foxes, and a multitude of reptiles and insects have adapted to the extreme temperatures and scarcity of water, adding to the rich biodiversity of the region.
Camping under the starlit sky is a must-do experience in Sharqiya Sands. Several desert camps provide a chance to spend a night in traditional Bedouin-style tents, immersing visitors in the Bedouin culture and offering a glimpse into their way of life. Enjoying a traditional Omani meal around a campfire while listening to enchanting Omani music is an unforgettable experience that truly captures the essence of this unique desert.
