Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Muscat

    Your driver meets you at Muscat International Airport for a half-day introduction to the city. The morning takes you to the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, then you'll check out Bait Al Zubair Museum to see traditional Omani culture and artifacts. Stop by Al Alam Palace for photos with the Portuguese forts on either side, then spend your evening wandering through Muttrah Souq where local merchants sell handicrafts and silver items. It's a good way to get oriented and catch the souq energy as the sun sets.

  2. Day 2

    Muscat to Wahiba Sands

    Your guide picks you up at 8:30 AM and you're heading out for the full day. You'll drive through Wadi Arbaeen, stopping to swim in oasis pools surrounded by date plantations, then move on to Bimah where there's a dramatic limestone sinkhole you can explore. Wadi Shab comes next with another chance for a swim in the pools there. From the wadis, you head into Wahiba Sands for dune driving and if you're interested, time with a Bedouin family who can show you how desert life actually works. By evening you'll be at the desert campsite settling in for the night.

  3. Day 3

    Wahiba Sands to Muscat

    After breakfast you leave the desert and drive to Wadi Bani Khalid, one of the better-known wadis in Oman with those green pools and small waterfalls that are great for swimming and photos. On your way back to Muscat, you'll stop at Al Mudayrib and Ibra to see the traditional watchtowers positioned on hilltops overlooking the villages. These give you a real sense of how settlements were built and defended in earlier times.

    · April 24th, 2025
    It was a very fulfilling trip. We had no issues anywhere, all went smoothly. Our driver and guide Sayeed was a real pro, seems like he knew every single person in Oman. Good company and good driver too. Although we were somewhat knowledgeable about the country, it was still better than what we had hoped for. Wonderful and friendly people, nice clean cities and towns, hotel accommodations very satisfactory, unique country and diverse culture. It was all very worth it. Would not change much if we were to do over.

    This tour was even better than expected, thanks to our great guide, Sayeed! The tour itself gave us a wonderful overview of Oman's beauty but it was Sayeed who made it so outstanding. His personal touch made us feel so welcome & comfortable, the time flew by. A fantastic & fun experience. The vehicle was really comfortable & Sayeed is an expert driver. The ride in the canyon & along the steep mountain road the last 2 days were amazing. We'd highly recommend it.

    The decision to book a private tour was exactly right. We learned a lot about life and culture in Oman. Our tour guide was super flexible and also gave us plenty of time to explore the area. Thank you very much Said, you made our trip very special.
