Land of dates, scents and friendly faces
The Sultanate of Oman
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.

The off-road adventure
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
Spot & wind
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.
But we travel a little further to set up our kite camp. To endless beaches and shimmering turquoise sea. Shallow water lagoons border standing areas, with a small island on the horizon that wants to be explored. There is also a constant wind blowing, which makes the temperatures really pleasant. We won't need kites larger than 9 m², but perhaps a waveboard for the waves on the other side of the island.
There is another highlight waiting for us under the surface of the water: the fantastic, colorful underwater world: “Like another world, like Pandora,” enthuses Olsen, “really everyone has to pack diving goggles and a snorkel, you have to see it!”

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.-
Offroad equipment
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.
Catering
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

Most frequently asked questions by our participants
I am traveling alone, who will I share a car with?
There are 2 people per vehicle who take turns driving. We make the classification and take separate female and male combinations into account.
How many days do we spend kitesurfing?
We are on the water for 6 days. Because the wind blows there for 24 hours, you get a net kite time like 10 days at another kite spot.
Is it safe in Oman?
Oman is often referred to as the Switzerland of the Orient. A kingdom where everyone is very friendly, wealthy and happy.
Do I have internet there?
The internet is incredibly well developed. With the exception of one spot, you have continuous 5G reception. At the last spot only if you are standing on the roof tent 🙂
How is the temperature?
Diverse… It is very hot in Muscat. But as soon as you get to the coast, it becomes much more pleasant. On Masirah we often wore a sweater in the evening.
Do I need a wetsuit?
No, the water is very warm. We always wear a thin undergarment so that the harness doesn't rub on the skin and a long-sleeved Lycra over it as sun protection.
