There are so many highlights in this fascinating country that it is impossible to list them all here. Our travel consultants will discuss your interests and be able to put a specific itinerary together for you, but below are a few must seeās!
WAHIBA SANDS
South of Ibra stretches the magnificent Wahiba Sands. This is the desert youāve always imagined, sculpted by the wind into delicately moulded crests and hollows. There are no permanent settlements, although some local Bedu lives in ramshackle temporary camps on the southern fringes of the sands around Al Ashkharah.
MUSCAT
Muscat, the modern capital of Oman, offers visitors a combination of old and new. From the architectural masterpiece of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque to rugged mountain backdrops and breathtaking beaches, this fantastic city never fails to inspire.
BAHLA AND JABREEN
The small town of Bahla dominated by a disproportionately large fort is located on the edge of a flat plain, just where the foothills of the Hajar Mountains runs into the dust of the desert. But what does Bahla mean to the locals? Historians will speak about the fort, expats who frequent the town will name the potteries, but any Omani who does not reside in the town will respond with ājinnā, devilishly spirits blamed for all sorts of evil-eye activities, but unless you understand Arabic, you will not comprehend how they form part and parcel of the country’s oral folklore.
