Oman

Oman’s dramatic, rocky scenery is a revelation – don’t miss the Gulf’s best kept secret!

Adventure Holidays in Oman

Oman is a land of dramatic contrasts. Dry arid deserts and immense sand dunes make way for lush fertile valleys and scenic untouched coastline. Ancient Arabic culture and tradition sit side by side with a modern infrastructure. The oldest of the Gulf States, Oman is often considered to be one of the most beautiful. The best way to make the most of this natural beauty is to get off the beaten track. Jeep safaris, desert camps and camel rides give you the chance to experience desert life and the rolling sand dunes at first hand. A true highlight of adventure holidays to Oman.

Oman's holiday attractions include its mountains and deserts, lush green wadis and the vibrant capital Muscat, with its forts, palaces and ancient walled city.

Four Things to Try in Oman

1. Jeep safari on Wahiba Sands: a 4x4 excursion into the dunes of Wahiba Sands is one of the best ways to discover Oman’s natural splendour. With over 15,000 square kilometres of immense dunes and rock formations mapping out millions of years of evolutions, the sand dunes of Wahiba are an unforgettable experience. After a day traversing the dunes, the perfect finale is to settle back and watch the sun setting over the dunes from your overnight desert camp. A night under the millions of stars awaits.

2. Wade in the Wadi: Oman is famous for its Wadis; lush oases of green nestled in its mountain valleys. Wadi Bin Khaled is one of the largest in Oman. Natural springs feed large pools of deep clear water surrounded by lush palm trees and shrubs. Above this, steep cliffs rise up out of Wadi’s lush valley floor. Canyons, folded layered rocks and caves complete this unique mountain microclimate.

3. Visit Nizwa Fort: the desert landscape of Oman is covered with forts. Nizwa Fort is the largest on the Arabian Peninsula. With fine examples of Islamic architecture, it was the seat of power during the Al Ya’ruba Dynasty. The best way to arrive there is on a camel ride. As you trek through the shimmering desert, the vast walls appear suddenly rising dramatically from the desert.

4. Muscat: the capital of Oman is a thriving city, offering a fascinating mix of ancient and modern. Old colonial forts co-exist with a modern, vibrant city. The city is also home to the Sultan’s Grand Mosque. An opulent building carved in marble and decorated with beautiful, ornate Islamic ceramics.

This holiday was a fantastic mix of ancient sites (castles, forts, ruined mud brick villages) and...
