In Eastern Oman, you’ll find the breathtakingly beautiful Wahiba Sands. An endless stretch of rippling sand dunes, glowing every shade of orange and copper beneath the gleaming sun.

It’s still a rather unknown part of the world. A place I hope every one of you can one day visit.

I wanted to re-create the deep, warm, and rich scents of the desert through the Wahiba Sands candle. I hope the sweet, earthy scent combination of mandarin and cinnamon will take you there.

Travel tips

Any trip to Oman has to include a few nights stay at a desert camp. Wahiba Sands is only a few hours drive from Muscat, making it an ideal stop after exploring the capital. Spanning an impressive 200 kms, you literally cannot miss it! It makes a very unique trip, especially for those looking to do something a bit different.

You’ll have the opportunity to experience ‘dune bashing’, sand boarding, camel riding, a 4x4 desert safari, or you can simply gaze into the gorgeous sunset from the top of a dune.

For an authentic experience, spend the night in a haima, a traditional wool-tent, ending the evening with a delicious Bedouin-style cooked meal with mint tea.

P.s. For any hiking-lovers out there, I highly recommend exploring at least some sections of the Western Hajar Mountain range while you’re in Oman. There’s a fantastic new book detailing every part of the trip - Wilderness Trekking Oman.
