Wahiba
A vast sand sea in eastern Oman, named for the Bani Wahiba tribe. The dunes run roughly 180 kilometers north to south and 80 kilometers east to west, covering about 12,500 square kilometers — a record of wind, monsoon cycles, and late Quaternary shifts in sea level held in motion across hundreds of thousands of years.
Bedouin villages, camel routes, temporary camps, and open night skies give the Wahiba Sands their human scale.
