On This Trip
- Take a stroll around Muscat's old town
- Take a dolphin-watching boat trip
- Visit the fort at Nizwa
- Take trip into the Wahiba Sands
Taking just over a week, this comprehensive itinerary demonstrates how compact and accessible the major sights of Oman are. Most touring itineraries in Oman will be based on this outline, a circuit taking in Muscat, the forts and wadis of the Batinah Plain, the interior town of Nizwa in the shadow of Jebel Shams, the serried dunes of the Wahiba Sands, the nesting turtles at Ras Al Jinz and the stunning drive along the coast between Sur and Muscat.
Extensions
To round out this trip and make it a complete exploration of Oman, tag on a few days in Salalah or Musandam, or both. Salalah, with its almost tropical climate, monsoon season and famous frankincense is very different to the rest of Oman. A flight up to Khasab opens up the fjord-like inlets of remote Musandam and can be tied in with a few days in Dubai afterwards.
