In the Desert Tours in Asia

Our Desert expeditions in Asia offer an immersive exploration of some of the world's most iconic and extraordinary arid landscapes. From the vast sand dunes of the Arabian Peninsula to the rugged terrain of Mongolia's Gobi Desert, Asia's deserts appeal for their stark beauty and the rich cultural heritage of desert-dwellers.

The Arabian Desert, encompassing countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, boasts towering sand dunes, dramatic rock formations and ancient oases. Expeditions into this desert realm offer the chance to experience traditional Bedouin hospitality, camel treks across seemingly endless sands and nights under a blanket of stars in luxurious desert camps.

In Central Asia, archaeological treasures and ancient cities on the Silk Road that criss-crossed the deserts of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan are there to be marvelled at. You can explore the ruins of ancient caravanserais, visit bustling bazaars and marvel at the intricate tilework of medieval mosques and mausoleums.

The Gobi Desert, spanning Mongolia and China, is a land of extremes, where towering sand dunes meet snow-capped mountains and vast grasslands. Expeditions into the Gobi offer the chance to encounter rare wildlife such as wild Bactrian camels and elusive snow leopards, as well as explore dinosaur fossils and ancient petroglyphs scattered across the landscape.
