Born from a Love of the Desert
Desert Quarter was founded by passionate desert explorers with several decades of experience guiding expeditions through the magnificent deserts of The Sahara and The Empty Quarter .
How Desert Quarter Began As professional navigators of Bedouin origin, we understand and respect the desert. We are seasoned veterans of the desert with strong foundations in Bedouin culture, offering well-mounted camping tours to the Empty Quarter in Oman with small groups of at least six travelers. We follow in the footsteps of pioneer explorers, guided by their historic books and maps , while also using the latest maps , satellite imagery and navigation technology , the magnificent map compelled by the Royal Geographical Society charting Wilfred Thiseger legendary traverse of the Empty Quarter from 1945 – 1950 has been instrumental in shaping our journeys allowing us to a proper detailed exploration of the Empty Quarter desert. Our former company name in Egypt was Tribe Expeditions, still our channel on you tube have the same name , in 2016 we launched Tribe Oman website for our Tours in Oman and in 2024 we launched our company in Oman : Desert Quarter for tourism & investment .SPC.

Mahmoud
Founder & Lead Expedition Guide After more than fifteen years of leading desert expeditions across Egypt's Gilf El Kibeer, Mahmoud moved to Oman in 2016, where he launched his desert travel agency, focusing this time on Oman and Saudi Arabia's Empty Quarter. Mahmoud was deeply inspired by Wilfred Thessiger's adventures, and has since retracted the explorer's footsteps and stumbled upon his own unique discoveries in the desert. He says he feels most at home when completely immersed in the deep desert,.
