Qarn Alam is a remote location in the interior desert of Oman, in the central part of the country, associated above all with the oil industry. It is the name of a significant oilfield in the vast, arid desert of central Oman, a landscape of open gravel plains and sand far from the coast and the main cities. Qarn Alam is an industrial and desert location, with facilities and an airstrip serving the oil operations, rather than a town or tourist destination. The surrounding region is one of the empty, hot interior of Oman, between the mountains and the great sands of the Rub al Khali, the Empty Quarter. Qarn Alam is reached by desert roads serving the oilfields and by its airstrip, on operational rather than tourist travel. The climate is extremely hot and dry, with very high summer temperatures and little rainfall.
