The itinerary
Muscat Region
On arrival at Muscat airport, you’ll be met by our agent and transferred to your chosen hotel in Muscat Bay, set in the stunning Bandar Jissah coastal bay. This is one of the best locations to access a wide range of dive sites in the region, including extended trips to the Damaniyat Islands.
Ras al Jinz Turtle Reserve
Today, you’ll depart for Wasabi Sands, via Tiwi with an overnight stay at Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve. Your 4WD will drive along the scenic and rugged coastal route, passing the fishing village of Quriyat. Your first stop is the Bimah sinkhole, a spectacular limestone crater with blue-green water at the bottom. Another stop is at a white-sand beach where you can swim and then on to the dense green plantations of Tiwi. As the trip continues, you’ll notice the road winds through mountain terrain and the ancient port town of Sur, to Ras Al Jinz, a sanctuary for green turtles. Have a nice dinner at the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve. There is a short distance to the beach, where you can watch turtles nesting on the sands.
Wahiba Sands
After breakfast, drive past small fishing villages to Al Ashkarah town, leave the coast and head inland, where the rocky scrubland soon gives way to sand dunes. After stopping to view the 52-domed mosque at Jalan Bani Bu Ali, keep driving to Wadi Bani Khalid to see its pretty villages embedded in the mountains. Before venturing deeper into the desert, swim in the deep blue-green waters.
Spend 2 unforgettable nights in your private traditional Bedouin tent deep in the desert of Oman. Marvel at the crystal clear starry skies, relish the unique tranquility of the desert, silence, get enchanted by the beauty of the desert, and leave your daily grind far behind.
Nizwa and Jabal Akhdar
Next and last stop is the stunning Al Jabal Mountains range for 3 days of exploring, trekking and just enjoying a stunning luxury spa retreat set on top of one of the highest peaks. The 3/4 hour drive from Wahabi Sands will route via the historical town if Nizwa, the gateway to the Al Jabal mountains. Here you will have time to explore the many forts and castles.
