Faced with the growing desire for authenticity, space and awareness for sustainable tourism, Magic Travels has decided to mark a new turning point towards eco-responsible and ethical travel, after a first step initiated by the creation of Magic Camps (eco-chic tented camps in the Emirates and Oman).

This new twist has a name: BEYOND by Magic Travels.

“Beyond”: beyond the classic tours, beyond the beaten paths and beyond the travel experiences generally offered up to now.

This new brand will offer eco-responsible tours in the 5 destinations where Magic is present with its offices: United Arab Emirates, Oman, Jordan, Armenia and Georgia.

But why BEYOND? Because the goal of this new production, which will initially be aimed at individual customers, will be to take them “beyond” the classic circuits and not only to offer “adventurous” trips off the beaten path, but also intense experiences aimed at encouraging meeting with local communities.

The BEYOND programs will be accessible to both beginners and experienced adventurers, looking for meaning, or simply for adventure and excitement.

Social and cultural exchanges are promoted through many original and unusual experiences for responsible and authentic travel.

Closed doors open to offer unique encounters, to discover places hitherto inaccessible but above all to tell the true story of the country. When the journey is no longer a simple destination but an immersion.

In a responsible tourism approach, all programs are created by a team of enthusiasts with full respect for local populations and their environments.

BEYOND, where the MAGIC happens!

OMAN – Magic Camps Wahiba Sands

OMAN – Magic Camps Wahiba Sands

The first season of operation of the Magic Camps Wahiba Sands has recently ended, unfortunately a little earlier due to the Covid-19 emergency.

A first year full of satisfactions and enthusiastic comments from the guests who stayed there.

After years of activity with the Magic Camps in private basis, from 1 October 2019 the Magic Camps Wahiba Sands is open, an eco-chic tented camp located in Oman in the Wahiba desert.

It can be reached with a 40-minute crossing of the desert since leaving the paved road, and this stretch is already a very suggestive experience.

The camp consists of only 10 tents, so it has a very small size, to create a very intimate atmosphere between the guests and the context in which it is inserted.

One of the main characteristics of the camp is the absence of the current generator, in this way you can stay in contact with the desert without interference. The absolute silence, the warm light of the lamps and candles, the crackle of the fire.

All with accommodation with attention to every detail and furnished with refined taste, a private bathroom tent for each bed tent is available to guests.

The cuisine is highly sought after, a mix between western and local dishes, strictly using fresh local flavors and raw materials.

Combined with the stay you can organize various activities both for fun and for exploring the desert and contact with local Bedouin families.

The appointment is therefore for the next season, starting in early October for other unforgettable nights under the starry desert sky.
