Tips to staff
Any inclusion not specified
The 10-day Oman and Dubai Tour goes through the two Arabian Sultanate Oman and UAE. The old world meets the new with ancient cultures and religious traditions creating extreme contrast with modern technology and architecture.
90% pavement, up to 10% on gravel, dirt and sandy tracks. Hundreds of curves and extremely scenic roads paved roads of varying quality. Rookie to expert riders and couples are very welcome on this tour. We stay in high-range hotels, plus 3 nights in desert camp tents with folding beds. We always opt for the best option available – clean, safe and practical location.
Temperatures can vary between 12 to 40°C (53.6 F to 104°F). Temperatures can drop for a short period going over the mountains passes. It is recommended to ride with ventilated riding gear. A pull over rain suite is a good idea to carry against mountain temperatures and possible short rain showers that can occur year round.
