In Part 10 of our Ultimate Oman Travel Guide we embark on our biggest challenge yet - to travel independently to the Empty Quarter, the largest sand dune desert on the planet.

Find out just how we found our way into this enigmatic region of towering sandy dunes covering an area the size of France.

Information on travel to the Empty Quarter can be hard to find, so stay tuned as we spill the beans on exactly how to access this elusive region in the south of Oman, the most unspoilt and untouched part of the Empty Quarter in Oman.

Travelling to the Empty Quarter, or Rub' al Khali, as it known in Arabic, was one part of the trip we were looing forward to the most. But travelling into the Empty Quarter alone is not without risk, so make a note of the travel guidelines detailed in this video before making the decision to head out there yourself*.

Use these waypoints if you want to travel to the Empty Quarter yourself:
