Arabian Delight – Oman

Stroll in the Souk at Muttrah in the capital Muscat. Enjoy the cool and the fragrance of Oman’s oldest market where you cannot go far without encountering that treasure of the ancient world; frankincense.

Enjoy coffee and dates with a Bedouin family during your journey across the pristine white Wahiba Sands in Sharqiyah. Dinner and overnight in the beautifully tranquil Desert Nights Camp.

Have fun and take some inspiration from the camel racing run by the Bedu (October to April) and trek through the desert with your guide.

Hard to beat: Dolphin watching and snorkelling in the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Oman; guided turtle watching at night in Ras al Jinz.

Mountain safari: Drive up into the Jebal Akhdar (Green Mountain) named after the lush green plantations and farms, including pomegranate groves and rose orchards.

‘Walk up the Wadi’ to swim in clear pools and picnic under the palms.

Watch the ships go by in the ancient port of Muscat as you sip your refreshing and delicately flavoured fresh lemon juice.
