ITINERARY:
DAY 1: MUSCAT – FANJA – IBRA – WAHIBA SANDS DESERT
On this tour we drive first towards the Desert. Our first stop on this day is Fanja, the 400-year-old history village and abandoned mud houses. Fanja is located on a top of a hill, thus gives a great chance for beautiful views of the Wadi and the surrounding Hajars. Then we will proceed to the city of Ibra. Here we will stroll around the local market, visit one of the oldest mosques in Oman, Ibra’s ancient village and have some lunch. After visiting Ibras ancient village, we will head off in to our camp in the Wahiba Sands Desert, where it will be time for some adventure in the form of a sand dune drive through the desert in 4x4s. This will be followed by the chance to watch a stunning sunset from atop one of the big sand dunes. To round off our day in the desert, we’ll take dinner at our camp and enjoy a relaxing time around the romantic camp fire.
Overnight stay at desert camp.
DAY 2: WADI BANI KHALID – SUR – RAS AL HADD
After a relaxing slow breakfast in the Desert Camp, it will be a nice drive crossing some sand dunes to Wadi Ban Khalid, which is regarded by many as the biggest and most beautiful of all the Wadis in Oman. What will you choose to do in this wonderful location – swim, sunbathe, or picnic in the scenic Wadi canyons? It’s up to you.
Next we will head to the city of Sur, where the main attractions include old fortresses and the famous Dhow factory where you can watch traditional wooden Dhows being built.
Following a delicious lunch, we will drive south along the beautiful coast to the beachside village of Ras Al Hadd. You’ll have free time to spend exploring the village or relaxing on the beach (or maybe even a bit of both). It’s all in readiness for what surely will be the highlight of the day – our visit to the Turtle Sanctuary at Ras Al Jinz.
Here, you will receive a guided tour of the beach at night under the stars. It’s the best time of day to view Oman’s much treasured sea turtles stumbling onto the beach from the sea to dig holes in the sand and lay their eggs. You might even get lucky and see the amazing experience of baby turtles hatching from the eggs.
At the tour’s end, we will head back to the hotel for the night.
DAY 3: WADI SHAB-BIMMA SINKHOLE- QURIYAT- MUSCAT
After our breakfast in the hotel we will drive towards Wadi Shab. This is an enormous canyon gorge lined with beautiful palm trees and spectacular natural views of the power of water coming down from the mountains. After a 45-minute hike through canyon Wadi, we’ll arrive at a series of crystal clear water pools. You are welcome to swim in the warm waters of these connected pools, which will lead you into an opening among the enormous rocks through which you can swim into a crevice cave with its own small waterfall. Marvel at how the sunlight filters in from the outside and turns the water a stunning turquoise blue, while one side of the cave has water tumbling down from the wadi beyond.
Then we will continue towards the white Beach of Fins, which offers up another great opportunity for photos. There will be another stop-off on our journey towards Muscat, an opportunity for you to view the incredible Bimah Sinkhole, a huge crater close to the sea with a small lake at its base. It’s believed to have been created when a meteor hit the Earth.
Next we will proceed to Muscat via Quriyat and check into the hotel of your choice.
Overnight stay at Muscat is only applicable if you have booked your hotel through us.
