A busy but very worthwhile week exploring the Pearl of Arabia
I very much recommend this one week exploration of the cultural and ancient heritage of wonderful Oman. It’s a busy tour but all forms of travel and accommodation are very comfortable. The people we met throughout the tour were all proud of their heritage and extremely friendly. Oman is a very safe country. The itinerary is varied as are the fabulous landscapes encountered. Most meals were included and of good quality…plenty of affordable, tasty food to be had in local cafes/restaurants …avoid branded “western” restaurants which are very expensive. Our guide, Zubair, was very knowledgeable, very funny, worked hard and was clearly a great ambassador for his country.
Stunning landscapes!
An excellent holiday in an amazing country – we fitted so much into a week it felt like we’d been there for a fortnight! The tour has a great mix of activities in different locations from cities, to desert, to mountains, which gives a great flavour of Oman. The locals were friendly and welcoming, and the food was tasty. Our guide Zubair was very very good – full of information about the country and sites, very patient at answering all of our questions, a great sense of humour, and well organised to herd the group around to schedule. I’d recommend this trip!
Out of this world
This was a once in a lifetime adventure to one of the most beautiful places on earth with a wonderful group of like-minded people. Oman is so diverse in its landscape and there is so much to see. It is culturally so different and the people are so kind, helpful and gentle. It’s safe and welcoming.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Ahmed was just brilliant. He was a fabulous tour guide who made the trip what it was - just amazing. He looked after everyone and shared a huge amount of knowledge about the place and the culture. He was very inspiring.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is the most amazing trip - its full on- but in a good way - you feel like you have been away for weeks
A week in wonderful Oman
A really full week exploring so much of beautiful Oman. It’s not too strenuous but there are some early starts in order to fit in all the sites. A very clean country and littering equals jail! Beaches, mountains and deserts, it has it all.
Most Inspirational Moment
This has to be watching a beautiful green turtle laying and burying her eggs on the beach. It was just magical and something that I will never forget. The desert camp was wonderful too.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Zubair was great, really well organised and good fun. Seamless hotel changes and clear instructions to us all to allow easy departures each day.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you like a drink then I’d hugely recommend that you take duty free with you. There are no shops selling alcohol in Oman. Some hotels have bars but they are very expensive. Remember to take t shirts with sleeves and long trousers.
Fantastic Oman holiday
This holiday was a fantastic mix of ancient sites (castles, forts, ruined mud brick villages) and natural wonders – The Grand Canyon of Arabia (Jebel Shams), the endless sand dunes of Wahiba Sands, swimming in wadis etc.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were many highlights - watching a turtle nest and lay its eggs, watching the sunset over the sand dunes, the hustle and bustle of the morning cattle auction at Nizwa, Muscat's Grand Mosque with it's incredible dome and chandelier, sampling countless dates and drinking Omani coffee. The camp in Wahiba Sands was also very luxurious considering its location.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader (Qais) was very experienced and had a great sense of humour - the Omani people in general were incredibly welcoming everywhere we went.
