Explore ancient and natural wonders in the Pearl of Arabia

Oman, the most beautiful of the Gulf States, has a rich culture and ancient heritage waiting to be discovered during this one-week cultural adventure. Starting in the capital of Muscat, we gaze in awe at the Grand Mosque, wander through the colourful Mutrah Souq and see the Omani capital and coastline through seafarers’ eyes on a traditional dhow cruise.

We spend a night deep in the desert in very comfortable accommodation and navigate the dunes of the Wahiba Sands in 4x4s; marvel at stunning views over the Grand Canyon of Arabia from Jebel Shams, the highest mountain in Oman; wade in the cooling, turquoise waters of an idyllic desert oasis and uncover historic forts before witnessing the weekly live auction cattle market in Nizwa, an event not to be missed!

Itinerary

Include Flights

Muscat Muscat

Arrive at the start hotel before midday to ensure you can join the main group briefing and the dhow cruise in the afternoon.

After the briefing, we are picked up from our hotel and travel through the old part of Muscat to visit the Sidab Women’s Association where we can interact with the local women and enjoy a coffee together. Next, we pay a short visit to the Bait Al Zubair Museum before a photo stop outside the gates of the Sultan’s palace. After a short transfer to the marina, we embark on a relaxed dhow cruise (traditional fisherman’s boat) to see the Muscat coast through the eyes of the ancient seafarers who plied this route for centuries. During the cruise, soft drinks, tea, coffee and dates will be served.

In the evening, we stop at a restaurant for dinner and will be transported back through the centuries on a visit to the bustling, colourful Mutrah Souq. Here there will be lots of photo opportunities and the chance to observe the local way of life while wandering around this traditional Arab market.

Note: On some departures, some of the sightseeing detailed above will be done on Day 2 instead. Your leader will advise of your exact schedule locally.

Accommodation: Radisson Blu Hotel Muscat (or similar)

After a hotel breakfast, we check out and visit the Grand Mosque, the highlight of the Omani capital. The handmade carpets, chandeliers and the ceiling of the great dome in the main prayer room are must-sees.

Please note: Women should be fully covered and carry a headscarf; men should wear trousers.

We then drive (approximately 1hr 30min) to the Bimah Sinkhole, a spectacular limestone crater with blue-green water at the bottom, and Wadi Tiwi where we enjoy a walk and picnic lunch before transferring (approximately one hour) to our hotel in Sur, where we spend the night.

After an early dinner, we drive (approximately one hour) to Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve. Oman is an important area for green turtles in the Indian Ocean and the green back turtles are heavily protected by the government of Oman. In fact, more than 275 of the Sultanate’s beaches double as nesting grounds for five of the seven recognised sea turtle species, the most common being the green back.

Here we are led to the beach by an ecologist to see turtles return to their beach to lay eggs. (Please note, the main nesting season is June to August; at other times of the year, there may or not be turtles every night but a visit to the reserve is still worthwhile).

Accommodation: Sur Plaza (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

This morning after breakfast, we transfer (approximately 1hr 45min) to the desert oasis of Wadi Bani Khalid to relax and enjoy a swim in the beautiful turquoise pools. We also have a picnic lunch before continuing (approximately 60 to 90 minutes) to the Wahiba Desert.

Please note, occasionally wild swimming in the wadi may not be possible due to safety reasons if, for example, water levels are high following rainfall or if it is raining at the time of your visit as the rocks can be slippery – your leader will inform you if swimming is not advisable.

Here, on the edge of the desert, we change vehicles from the minibus to 4WDs to begin our desert experience.

The Wahiba Sands, a vast mass of undulating red and white sands and dunes rising up to 655ft (200m) are also host to a variety of flora and fauna. The ever-changing patterns of the dunes are a photographer’s delight. We drive towards the dunes and our desert accommodation (approximately one hour) to check-in for the evening.

During our time at the camp, there is the chance to take a camel ride (optional – extra cost).

Accommodation: Arabian Nights Resort (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

We have breakfast at our desert accommodation before checking out and driving towards the ancient city of Nizwa, the former capital of Oman. En route, we visit a Bedouin family and enjoy kahwa (Omani coffee) and spend time with them learning about their customs and traditional way of life.

We continue our drive via Birkat al Mouz, one of the best-known village ruins in the region. We walk through its oasis and date plantations before continuing to Nizwa. With the two sets of ruins, a large banana plantation and the scenic surroundings, the site is also home to the old Falaj irrigation system listed as a Unesco World Heritage site.

Upon arrival in Nizwa, we check into our hotel where we spend the next two nights.

Accommodation: Al Diyar Hotel (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner

After breakfast at the hotel, we take a short drive (approximately 30 minutes) to visit Jabrin, the finest of Oman’s castles built in the late 17^th century, which became a seat of Omani learning. The castle displays the highest achievement in Omani ceiling painting and beautifully executed woodcarvings.

We also pause at Bahla Fort for a photo, the only Unesco-listed fort in the country and lovingly restored over many years before transferring (approximately 1hr 30min) to Wadi Nakhr for a short walk. We have lunch in a restaurant before proceeding to Jebel Shams, the highest mountain in Oman, and where we can enjoy spectacular views of the ‘Grand Canyon of Arabia’.

Later in the afternoon, we transfer (approximately 45 minutes) to the village of Misfat Al Arbayeen, passing the ruins of an old fort on the way. We continue through narrow alleys between old stone houses and take a short walk in Al Hamra village before returning (approximately 30 minutes) to Nizwa for the evening.

Accommodation: Al Diyar Hotel (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Today is a long day and we start our morning with a visit to the live cattle auction market in Nizwa, the one day of the week where this ancient city truly comes alive with farmers and traders arriving from near and far to barter and trade in one of the most renowned markets in the Middle East.

We visit the impressive Nizwa Fort, built in the 17^th century to defend the natural wealth and strategic location of the city. Later we visit the renowned souq, famous for intricately handcarved khanjars (traditional curved daggers), silver jewellery and livestock trading.

Departing Nizwa, we continue to Wadi Bani Auf; this stretch of graded road is very adventurous as it involves steep bends and bumpy roads. In wet conditions, it may not be possible to drive this section of road due to safety. If this occurs, we take an alternative route.

We then stop at the charming mountain village of Bilad Sayt, where one is struck by the beauty of the landscape. Lunch today will be a packed lunch.

This afternoon, we have a photo stop at Nakhal Fort and hot spring. The exact date on which this ancient fort was built is unknown, but many believe it was constructed in pre-Islamic times, more than 1,500 years ago.

We then transfer back to Muscat for our final evening in the capital city of Oman.

Accommodation: Radisson Blu Hotel Muscat (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

The tour ends this morning and it’s time to begin our return journey home. If you’d like a bit more time to explore Oman, speak to your sales representative about extending your stay.

Meals included: Breakfast

Essential Info

Visa

Oman

There are 103 countries (including the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) that are exempt from visas for stays of less than 14 days: please visit the Foreign Ministry of Oman website for a full list of visa-exempt countries. To qualify for the scheme, you must have a prior and confirmed hotel booking, health insurance and a return ticket – you should have hard copies of these to hand upon arrival. The visa on arrival is a new system and, as such, you may still wish to apply for an e-visa in advance for speed and ease upon arrival.

If the duration of your stay is more than 14 days, or your nationality is not on the exempt list, then you will require a visa. You should apply for an e-visa before you travel. Applications can be made through the Royal Oman Police Portal.

If you’re travelling as a tourist, you can apply for an unsponsored visa. E-visa applications are usually approved within one to three working days but we suggest applying one to two weeks before your trip, as occasionally there can be delays. A digital copy/scan of the photo page of your passport and a digital passport photograph are required for the e-visa application. Please see the Oman Police website for further criteria. Once approved, tourist visas are valid for 30 days from the date of issue so you cannot apply for your visa too far in advance.

As this information may change we advise you to check with the your local Omani embassy before travel.

Vaccination

Oman

There are no required vaccinations. However, you may want to consider vaccinations for tetanus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B and rabies. Please confirm with your doctor or travel clinic. You will also need a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission (or Rwanda or Tanzania) or transiting for more than 12 hours through the same.

Eating and Drinking

All breakfasts, four lunches and five dinners are included.

Omani cuisine is influenced by Arab, Persian, Indian, Asian, Eastern Mediterranean and African cuisine. Rice is a staple and often includes a variety of flavours and ingredients, while fish and meat, such as chicken and lamb, feature prominently. Dishes are full of rich mixtures of spices, herbs and marinades. Dates are much loved and are an essential part of the Omani diet.

Curry, soups, fresh salads and vegetable dishes are all very common. Coffee is the national beverage but tea is also drunk. Yoghurt drinks and soft drinks are also popular. Alcohol is not readily available but can be purchased in some hotels and likely to be quite expensive.

During the tour, you have the opportunity to taste and experience a variety of dishes and eat in local restaurants. Included lunches will be picnic lunches and other meals will be eaten in cafes/eateries. The night spent at the desert camp includes a barbecue with traditional dishes.

Non-Muslims are permitted to bring in two litres of alcohol by air only. Alcohol may be purchased at Muscat airport after having cleared immigration. Care must be taken not to cause offence through the use of alcohol and should not be consumed in public places apart from licensed premises, such as hotels and restaurants. It is generally not a problem to bring your own alcohol into hotels but please always ask the hotel first out of courtesy.

Please advise at time of booking if you have any dietary requirements.

Weather

Temperatures and humidity are high throughout the year on the coast. May to September is the hottest season, so we avoid scheduling trips at this time. Temperatures rise even higher inland, but here humidity is lower so higher temperatures are more tolerable and nights are cooler. In spring and autumn, expect sunny weather throughout with warm to hot days (around 35C/95F) and pleasant night temperatures. There is little chance of any rain except from December to February. February will be cooler. In December, days are warm (20C-25C/68F-77F).

Is this trip for you?

This trip is rated Activity Level 1 (Leisurely).

This is a busy itinerary that visits the main highlights of Oman with a focus on providing a real taste of all this country offers. We travel by private air-conditioned minibus and 4×4 throughout. Although this is a cultural trip, some days can be long and tiring and there is some walking involved so a reasonable level of fitness is required. The people of Oman offer a very warm welcome to tourists. Oman is hot during the day, so care should be taken to drink lots of water. On Day 6, when departing Nizwa to Wadi Bani Auf, the stretch of graded road is very adventurous as it involves steep bends and bumpy roads which may not be suitable for vertigo sufferers.

Ramadan is expected to run from approximately 10 March-10 April 2024 and 28 February-29 March 2025. One of the most important periods in the Islamic calendar, it is a special time to visit a Muslim country. Each evening, the streets empty as people head home to break the fast, followed by an air of festivity upon their return. Our leaders and drivers choose to work at this time so we continue to run trips; however, their energy levels may be slightly lower than normal. Many tourist sites, restaurants and shops will have an amended schedule, but your tour leader will know how to adapt the itinerary to still experience all the inclusions on this trip and maximise your experience during this special time.

Following a review of all our trips we have categorised this trip as generally not suitable for persons of reduced mobility. However if you are a regular traveller on such trips, please contact customer services to discuss the trip and your personal condition.

Hotels and Wahiba Sands desert resort

We spend five nights in comfortable hotels and one night in a desert resort with a spectacular location in Wahiba Sands. Below are the hotels we typically use:

Muscat: Radisson Blu Hotel Muscat (nights 1 and 6)

We start and finish at this 153-room Radisson Blu resort, just 9mi (15km) from Muscat International Airport. There’s local and international cuisine at Olivos Restaurant and plenty of drinks at the Lazy Lizard bar. Alternatively, you may prefer a dip in the temperature-controlled outdoor pool or to relax on a sun lounger.

Sur: Sur Plaza (night 2)

Enjoy traditional Omani hospitality during our stay at the 89-room Sur Plaza. There’s a pool and gym, while the Oyster Restaurant (which serves a mixture of local and international cuisines) has views over the mountains.

Wahiba Sands: Arabian Nights Resort (night 3)

Spend an unforgettable night at this desert resort, which is only reachable by 4×4. Despite its remote location, the villa-style rooms are comfortable and there’s even a pool for a quick dip in the desert. There’s also a restaurant serving local and international dishes, plus a pool bar mixing up cocktails.

Nizwa: Al Diyar Hotel (nights 4-5)

Simple and traditional, Al Diyar provides a well-located place to stay for our adventures. It also has two outdoor pools and a restaurant, while Nizwa Souq is around five minutes’ drive away.

Worth knowing

With accommodation in Oman, couples – particularly unmarried couples – may be automatically allocated twin beds rather than doubles, unless requested otherwise. Please advise us at the time of booking if you are travelling as a couple and would like to request a double bed.

Full on week.

Lots of history, lots of culture, lots of scenery.

Most Inspirational Moment

2 or 3. The Muscat Grand Mosque for architecture, wahabi Sands and the Grand Canyon of Arabia for scenery.. seeing a turtle laying eggs and a couple of babies running for the sea was magic too.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ahmed was efficient and personable. Gave goof insights to life and history of Oman.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Prepare for some longish drives and maybe slight difficulty with avegetarian diet, but these are not insurmountable.

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!

Most Inspirational Moment

The desert and mountains were breathtaking.

Suggestions

I'd like to add that the visit to the turtle sanctuary, although wonderful to see them, was a bit of a challenge emotionally - it felt very invasive and we must have disturbed the turtles. This is down to the way the sanctuary run the tours (large groups of people crowding around each turtle on the beach, and stumbling in the sand where they have laid their eggs), and I can't help but think there is a better way of doing it. It felt unethical.

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.

Most Inspirational Moment

Too many to name The sunset in the dessert as well as the stargazing that night. The Wadis The Grand Canyon The Grand Mosque The food

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

Suggestions

The hotels were all good/great apart from the Ramee Guestline on the first (and last) night - just awful - Exodus please call me and I will give you a full account But that did not in any way affect how we felt about the overall trip which was OUTSTANDING!!!

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.

Suggestions

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.

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.
