Oman field trips and camping
Fieldwork and logistics:
We arrange a remote logistical support for scientific field trips for schools, universities and organizations, for all excursions types, large, medium or small. We offer you a logistical support includes establishing camps and providing food and transportation to suit every pocket and taste.
Experienced guides on geological, biological, archaeological and cultural heritage tours in Oman are available upon request.
We offer you a great chance to experience camping instead of hotels. As a participant you live much more strongly in the landscape than when you travel from hotel to hotel. Camping is based on "full care": two experienced Omani men make camp with 1-person tents, mattresses and washing and shower facilities. They cook, introduce you to life in Oman and pay attention to all your wishes. All camping pitches have been carefully selected by the tour guides, “in the wild”, away from habitation, with a view of majestic mountains, lovely oases, quiet beaches and with plenty of space for everyone. VIP camping can be arrange based on request.

Testimonials
Prof. Dr. Martin Meschede
Regionale und Strukturgeologie Institut für Geographie und Geologie, Greifswald, Germany
Travelling around the wonderful landscapes of Oman with Mansoor and his group was a fantastic experience. Not only the very obliging handling of our overnight camps but also the efforts of our guides to give us an understanding of Oman´s culture was intriguing.
Most impressive was the preparation of the traditional Omani meal “Shuwa” with goats being baked for 24 hours in a hole in the ground.
Many thanks to Mansoor and his group for all these magnificent experiences.
