A desert safari is not like any other activity that you will undertake in Oman. These safaris could take anything between half a day tour to an overnight safari with camping in the middle of the desert that reaches unexpected levels of cold at night. During the day, though, the heat is quite high, as is to be expected. Therefore, you need to understand your own limits and strengths before deciding on a safari duration. Unlike any other activity you would encounter in Muscat sightseeing or a day's excursion to the city, you cannot return to your hotel simply because you are feeling a little under the weather. It is important for you to know how much heat you can bear, and opt for half a day tour, a full day tour, or if you think you can handle it, an overnight safari as preferred.
