RETURNS MARCH–SEPTEMBER 2027 · BOOKINGS CLOSED


THIS IS WHAT GETTING AWAY FEELS LIKE
Wadi Al Rak is taking a seasonal break. Bookings are currently closed, with the next season running from March to September 2027. Discover the route below, or enjoy Desert Rush in Wahiba Sands in the meantime.
Wadi Al Rak gives you a short off-road adventure about one hour by road from Muscat, depending on your starting point and traffic. One hour of driving, a two-seat vehicle and instruction before departure make it an option for a half-day outing with a friend or partner. No previous experience or driving licence is required for this route; driver and passenger requirements still apply.
Take the wheel of a two-seat off-road vehicle and follow your FOXATVs guide through rocky tracks, open ground and natural climbs in Wadi Al Rak. We introduce you to the vehicle and explain the route rules before you set off. Then the driving — and the adventure — is yours.

The team explains how to start, control and handle the vehicle.
