Exploring the Desert starts with a book...
For anyone interested in the Empty Quarter , Wilfred Thesiger’s masterpiece “ Arabian Sands “,
published in 1959, introduced the true nature of the desert and the Bedouins who lived there.
The earlier travels of Bertram Thomas and St John Philby revealed the vast
possibilities of the Arabian Empty Quarter. It was left to Wilfred Thesiger to cross this unexplored and mysterious area of huge dunes not once but twice, and in the process come to understand one of the world’s most formidable deserts as well as the inner life of the little known Bedouin tribes who made it their home. The books of these early explorers, but especially Arabian Sands, make a good starting point for
any proper exploration of the Empty Quarter , Oman and southern Arabia.
Tribe Oman plans well mounted expeditions, taking only a select and small group of people- a maximum of 8 travelers, We use only tried and tested methods, using the strongest 4 wheel drive vehicles , traveling in the same fashion as modern Bedouin tribes ,
carrying all our gear: tents , water, fuel and supplies. Camping along old explorer routes and modern variants we have surveyed ourselves, this is a chance to have a taste of the Bedouin way of life and to feel the desert in all its magnificent grandeur
and charming solitude...

Our history of travel on YouTube
During February's Empty Quarter expedition a rare accident happened to one of our travelers who got stung by a green scorpion, the plan of immediate evacuation was executed successfully reaching the nearest hospital in Thumrait after 5 hours driving at night partially in the open desert then over the graded track. At the hospital the patient was very well treated by 4 shots of injection and spent two nights in a small hotel then joined back the group safe and sound.
Here is the report by my friend and pioneer Empty Quarter explorer : Mostafa Hashem :
Upon arrival and payment of 10 Omani Riyal ($26), two nurses assessed my condition, checked my blood pressure, and inquired about any allergies. The attending doctor then inquired about the scorpion type involved and any allergies I might have before instructing the nurse on the necessary protocol. Following this, I was administered four shots in another room. Subsequently, the doctor administered pain relief injections around the bite area to alleviate discomfort caused by the sting. It's noteworthy that the scorpion responsible, known as the death stalker, is highly venomous, posing a significant risk to the elderly and children, although typically not fatal to healthy adults. Despite receiving painkillers five hours post-sting, the intense pain persisted for approximately 20 hours.
" to return to the Empty Quarter would be to answer a challenge , and to remain there for long would be to test myself to the limit , the empty quarter offered me the chance to win distinction as a traveler , but i believed that it could give me more than this , that in those empty wastes i could find the peace that comes with solitude , and among the bedu , comradeship in a hostile world ."
