Al Mazyunah - Jedelah Desert

Nestled in the far west of the Dhofar Governorate near the Yemeni border, Al-Mazyunah is the gateway to one of Oman’s most thrilling desert experiences: the vast sand dunes of the Jedelah Desert.

Here you will leave behind the palm-lined coasts and climb into a landscape of endless sand, low vegetation, and the whisper of history carried by the wind. The region sits on ancient trade routes and offers an authentic sense of wilderness — far from bustling tourist hubs. The neighbouring Jedelah sand dunes are among the tallest in Arabia and offer sand-boarding, remote camping and an immersive 4×4 desert safari experience.

Whether you visit early morning for cooler air or stay overnight under a canopy of stars, this region invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and experience the true spirit of Oman’s desert heartland.
