Desert Bidiyah or Eastern sands and also called Ramlet Al Wahiba (old name). It is a desert area in Oman, in the Eastern Province (Oman) that was formerly called Ramlet Al Wahiba, because of its presence on maps drawn by European travelers on their tours with and with the help of men from the Al Wahiba tribe. But in fact, there are many tribes in this vast and sprawling region, so the modern name هi is (Eastern Sands) .
