A curated journey through the experience
Nizwa Fort Oman
In the very heart of Oman lies Nizwa, the country's bastion of heritage and tradition. A visit to the formidable fort is the ideal opportunity to learn about the Sultanate's rich culture and history. Following a visit to the fort, visitors can spend time in the adjacent traditional market, sampling local produce and specialties like 'Halwa" (a traditional dish made from dates).
2 hoursMisfat al Abriyyin
To truly understand how life, not only survives, but flourishes in the harsh and arid climate of Oman, a visit to Misfat Al Abriyyin is an absolute must! Half way up a steep mountain, the eden-esque village overflows with dates, bananas and pomegranates, fed continuously by a traditional irrigation system rumored to be hundreds of years old.
1 hourJebel Shams
Day 2: Desert Tour
2 hoursWadi Bani Khalid
(Please note that, given the conservative nature of the local people, appropriate swim wear must be worn. We recommend that guests bring an old shirt and shorts to wear over their swimming costumes, to avoid offending the local people.)
3 hoursWahiba Sands
Day 3: Coastal Tour
3 hoursSur
To understand the Omani people, its crucial to peek into their history. Visiting the boat yards in Sur sparks the imagination, conjuring images of Oman's past maritime empire that stretched from East Africa to the Indian subcontinent. See artisans practice traditional boat making techniques that are still in high demand today, and admire the elegant designs of Dhows. All this against the back drop of Sur, with its coastal forts, immense lagoon, and charming residents.
1 hourWadi Shab
(Please note that the water-pools that lead through the keyhole are very deep, and as such visitors who wish to go to the end of the wadi must be competent swimmers, otherwise there is a risk of drowning. Less confident swimmers can go to the pool just before the keyhole without needed to swim through deep pools.)
