The sun leans low over Dhofar and the desert begins to change color—brassy gold at the dune crests, cool indigo in the wadi shadows. Your vehicle hums along gravel tracks while frankincense trees line a stony valley, their resin-scented bark pulling the eye toward a private tented camp parked where dunes give way to flat sand.
