Mountain camping can be an incredible mountain travel experience.

One of the latest travel trends is glamping trips to destinations like these luxury tented camps in Wahiba Sands and in the Hajar Mountains (above).

Luxury travel specialist Scott Dunn is offering this camping adventure with private yachting along Muscat’s coastline.

Travelers stay at the desert and mountain camps and on a private yacht, dropping anchor at desert islands with white sandy beaches.

After the desert camping leg, the journey continues north into the Hajar Mountains.

The tour stops enroute at the old settlement at Mizfa near Ibra. Travelers hike the rest of the journey into the mountains on foot including a visit to the deserted village of Birkat Al Mawz and ruins of Tanuf.

Finally, travelers make the ascent to the Tanuf Mountain camp situated at 1,000m with views of Jebel Shams, Oman’s highest peak.
