Off-road Kitecamp
Oman
The ultimate adventure
Experience with us in Oman the ultimate kitecamp including an off-road adventure! Crossing rugged mountains, driving through the desert, into dreamlike oases, accompanied by the flair of the Orient - to one of the windiest kite spots in the world.
Starting from Muscat we cross Oman with off-road vehicles, which also serve as our accommodation. On the way to the best kite spots we get to know the country and the incredibly friendly people. We experience the flair of the Orient in the desert, its oases and at the bazaar up close.
Can you smell the spices yet?
For six days afterwards it's time to kite like crazy. First on the offshore island of Sur Masirah, then on our very own dream spot on the mainland.
The kite spots in Oman are a kitesurfer's dream come true: Boardshort temperatures, crystal-clear, turquoise-blue water and 4 Bft wind 25 days a month.The Omani mean 'above wind force 4' seriously. The common kite sizes are between 6 and 9 m².
Come with us to the land of dates, scents and friendly faces. Oman is definitely worth an adventure!
Am Weg zum Kiterevier erkunden wir die aufregende Landschaft des Omans mit unseren Offroad-Fahrzeugen: durch Canyons (Wadis) in die Berge, zu alten Städten und durch die Wüste zur Ostküste. Auf unserem Weg lernen wir die freundlichen Omanis kennen, nehmen den Duft der orientalischen Gewürze mit und werden entdecken, warum der Oman auch das Land der Datteln genannt wird.
Bestens ausgestattet treten wir unsere Reise an. Unsere Allrad-Fahrzeuge mit 400 PS sind mit Camping Equipment (Camping-Kocher, Geschirr und Besteck, Matten, Tische, Schaufeln und sogar einer Dusche) ausgestattet. Die Autos verfügen über ein Dachzelt für zwei Personen. Du brauchst eigentlich nur einen Sommerschlafsack und einen Führerschein.
Insgesamt sechs Tage sind alleine für das Kiten an den traumhaften Stränden von Masirah geplant.
The prerequisite for participation is that you can safely go upwind. You can come with your own equipment or book a rental package with us. Oman is a strong wind area, so we recommend relatively small kites.

Land of dates, scents and friendly faces
Oman - or rather, the Sultanate of Oman - is located in the south-east of the Arabian Peninsula. Where the incense route had its origins, you can find old tradition next to modern comfort today. Completely without artificially inflated cities with skyscrapers, which are otherwise common in the region.
The crime rate is comparatively low. The Omanis are very friendly and accommodating. They welcome their guests with joy. It can happen that someone invites you to dinner on the street because they would like to talk to you about their country and culture. The official language is Arabic, the commercial language is English, and there is also a colorful mixture of Urdu, Persian and Swahili.
4×4 off-road with 400 hp
We start in Muscat where we pick up our fully equipped off-road vehicles. After stocking up on provisions for the next few days, we drive along the wadis into the cooler mountains.
Bathing lakes, rafting canyons and a fantastic view await us there. The next day we continue to Nizwa, the oldest city in Oman, where we stroll through the bazaar and stock up on spices.
We continue towards the desert - the first thing to do is to have some fun and drive up and down the dunes at high speed. We spend the night in the dunes with a campfire under the Arabian starry sky.
The next day we head for the nearest oasis and then continue towards the sea. There the ferry is waiting for us, which takes us to the nearby island to our kite spot. There we will camp, kite and snorkel for the next few days.
Most probably the best spot
Oman, the pearl of the Orient. This undoubtedly also applies to our kite spot at Sur Masirah. The ferry from the mainland to the small island takes an hour. A few shops, coffee shops and restaurants are located near the ferry dock.
Wir fahren aber ein Stück weiter, um unser Kitecamp einzurichten. Zu endlosen Stränden und türkisblau schimmernden Meer. Flachwasser-Lagunen grenzen an Stehbereiche, am Horizont eine kleine Insel, die erkundet werden will. Dazu bläst stetiger Wind, der die Temparaturen erst so richtig angenehm macht. Größere Kites als 9 m² werden wir nicht benötigen, vielleicht aber mal ein Waveboard für die Wellen auf der anderen Inselseite.
Unter der Wasseroberfläche wartet noch ein weiteres Highlight auf uns: Die fantastische, bunte Unterwasserwelt: „Wie eine andere Welt, wie Pandora“, schwärmt Olsen, „wirklich jeder muss Taucherbrille und Schnorchel einpacken, das muss man gesehen haben!“
Fancy a great off-road adventure through the mountains and desert of Oman? Discover with us the flair of the Orient up close and one of the windiest kite spots in the world.
We have briefly summarized all the useful information for you.
It definitely makes sense to use our kites, so that you are always well equipped for all conditions. If you do not have your own or not the appropriate equipment, you are welcome to rent from us.
Kite equipment for the duration of the camp: € 530.-
Two participants share a four-wheel drive vehicle. All cars are well equipped with camping equipment (stove, crockery/cutlery, mats, tables, shovel, shower) and have a roof tent in which two can sleep well. If you prefer to sleep alone, you can take an extra tent with you. Basically, you only need (for hygienic reasons) a summer sleeping bag.
Our cars are equipped with camping stoves, crockery and cutlery. If we feel like it, we can go shopping and cook together. Whenever we feel like it, we visit one of the many coffee shops or restaurants for a snack.
Eating out and groceries cost about the same as in Central Europe. Alcohol is significantly more expensive
Die Anreise erfolgt selbständig und ist nicht im Preis inkludiert. Zielflughafen ist Muscat, dort treffen wir uns jedenfalls am 08.08.2024 um 07:30 Früh.
Das Camp endet offiziell am 16.08.2024 abends in Muscat. Im Anschluss werden wir die letzte Nacht im City Seasons Hotel in Muscat verbringen (nicht inkludiert, bitte selbständig buchen)
Money: Currency exchange is possible on site. Or you can withdraw directly on site with a credit card. Money changing opportunities are relatively rare, especially at the kite spot, no money can be changed in Sur Masirah.
We would be happy to send you an offer for cancellation and / or travel insurance.
