41st National Day Expedition
18 Nov 2011 - 05 Feb 2012

Forty eight young people, three camels, one thousand kilometres and eighty days through some of the most challenging but beautiful country on earth; a training course like no other; Oman is investing in its young people in a unique way.

The journey, which will be undertaken on foot, by camel and traditional boat begins on November 18th 2011, and will follow in the footsteps of famous desert explorers Wilfred Thesiger, Ibn Battuta and Bertram Thomas. In addition to being given the skills for the future, the young people will also have the opportunity to reconnect to their rich culture and heritage; using camels and traditional boats, we will also be using the night sky, astrolabes and nocturnals to navigate and work out prayer times.
