Set in the heart of the Mleiha Desert, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Explorer Tours offers an unparalleled opportunity to discover the hidden gem of Mleiha through our exclusive buggy & Private Dining tours. As the sole operator in this pristine area, we provide a unique adventure that cannot be found elsewhere.

Mleiha is not just a desert; it's a portal to the past where every dune and rock formation tells a story of ancient times. Our tours take you through iconic landmarks such as Camel Rock and Fossil Rock, where the desert landscape opens up to reveal secrets of the earth's ancient past.
