Itinerary

Day 1:

  • Start your morning around 8:30 AM by hopping into your 4WD to explore the stunning interior of Oman. Drive along the smooth blacktop roads and reach Quriyat by around 10:00 AM.
  • Quriyat is a bustling fishing village nestled between a serene lagoon and the sea. Every morning, local fishermen head out to sea and return with fresh catches to sell at the beachside market. The village port is still guarded by a historic watchtower, making it a picturesque spot for a quick photo stop.
  • From Quriyat, continue your journey to the Bimmah Sinkhole, a breathtaking limestone crater filled with blue-green water. Take a moment to relax and soak in the beauty of this natural wonder before heading to the pristine white sands of Fins Beach.
  • Next, drive to Wadi Tiwi, a lush oasis surrounded by an old village filled with banana and papaya farms. Enjoy a peaceful walk through the farms and the charming village before continuing to the coastal city of Sur.
  • In Sur, take a brief tour of the city, including a visit to the historic dhow-building yard, where traditional wooden boats are crafted.
  • Then, embark on the final stretch of your journey to the iconic Wahiba Sands. Known as a mesmerizing “sand sea,” Wahiba Sands features towering orange dunes that stretch endlessly from north to south, some reaching heights of 100 meters. Your experienced driver will take you on an exhilarating dunebashing adventure, weaving through the rolling sands. Afterward, visit a Bedouin house to meet local women and learn about their desert way of life. Savor traditional Omani coffee and dates as you gain insight into their culture and resilience.
  • As evening approaches, climb to the top of the dunes to witness a magical sunset over the sands. Then enjoy a deliciuos traditional dinner. Relax by the campfire and end your day with breathtaking stargazing under the desert sky.

Day 2:

  • After breakfast, check out and hop into your 4WDs to exit the desert and head to Wadi Bani Khalid. Known as a natural oasis, Wadi Bani Khalid offers a striking contrast to the golden dunes of Wahiba Sands. This lush haven is home to crystal-clear green pools fed by natural springs. Take a leisurely walk through the wadi or enjoy a refreshing swim in the serene waters (please note, full-coverage swimwear is required, and towels are not provided).
  • After exploring Wadi Bani Khalid, continue your journey to Muscat, with a stop along the way to visit the historic town of Ibra.
