Reviewed March 2022 Jules Beasley Trip: A Week in OmanA 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.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? 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.What did you think of your 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.Do you have any 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.Is there anything else you would like to add? This is a lovely trip, the wearing of full length clothes can make you very hot but it’s still worth it. Refilling of water bottles on the bus is very helpful.
Reviewed April 2019 Jennifer Cox Trip: A Week in OmanFantastic 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.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? 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.What did you think of your 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.
