Full description
Begin your day with pickup from your hotel or airport in Muscat, then set off on a scenic drive through Oman’s changing landscapes. First, you arrive at Wadi Bani Khalid, a remarkable natural oasis where year-round flowing water collects in wide pools surrounded by cliffs and palms. Here you can take a leisurely stroll, dip your feet or swim, and soak in the tranquil beauty of one of Oman’s most picturesque wadis.
After your wadi stop, the journey continues towards the expansive Wahiba Sands desert. As you enter the great sea of sand, marvel at the rippling dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see. Meet a Bedouin family, share traditional coffee and dates, and learn about their desert way of life. Then enjoy some dune driving (in a 4×4), where you experience the sense of thrill and space that only the desert can offer.
As the day draws to a close, reflect on the dramatic contrast between oasis and desert, then return to Muscat with memories of an unforgettable journey through Oman’s natural and cultural heart.
