- Pick up from the hotel and proceed to visit the ”Grand Mosque,” the biggest in Oman with the largest chandelier in the world. A spectacular view of the mosque with a beautiful garden and the second-largest carpet in the world.
- Visiting the “Old Fish Market” in Muttrah Corniche (Port) and the “Muttrah Souq,” where you can find more than 200 shops with hidden Omani ornaments, clothes, frankincense, gold, silver, dates, and much more.
- Then proceed to “Bait Al Zubair Museum.” This two-story building houses information regarding the Al Busaidi dynasty, with portraits of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said and some of his predecessors.
- There are also four galleries on the ground floor that exhibit excellent examples of khanjar (Omani dagger), male and female attire, traditional swords and firearms, antique jewelry, and household articles.
- Then, visit “Al Alam Palace,” which is the ceremonial palace of His Majesty the Sultan. It is surrounded by the “Al Jalali and Al Mirani” forts. Both forts were built in the 16th century around the time of the Portuguese invasion of Muscat. Former Sultans used to live in a house called Bait Al Alam, which was demolished in the early 70s to build this new palace in its place to be the official residence of the Sultan of Oman. A small photo stop and then a visit to “Bustan Palace,” which was first opened in 1985 to host the Gulf Cooperation Council Summit that year. Designed to represent Oman culture and hospitality at the highest level.
- Proceed to “Qurum Beach,” known as the finest beach in Oman. At Qurum Beach, you have a variety of restaurants where you can take your lunch with the beautiful waterfront.
- After lunch, visit the biggest shopping mall in Oman, known as Mall of Oman, where you can see a variety of brands and shopping stores.
- After some time, return to the hotel.
Note: For entering Grand Mosque, visitors are required to dress appropriately (no shorts or uncovered arms, while women are required to cover their heads) and to remove their shoes before entering either prayer hall. Under-10 years are not allowed into the main prayer hall.
Day 3: Full Day Wadi Bani Khalid / Wahiba Desert
- Breakfast at the hotel.
- Duration: (8.30 am to 17.00 pm)
- Highlights:
● Wadi Bani Khalid
● Muqal Cave
● Wahiba Desert
● Dune Bashing
● Bedouin Houses
- Highlights:
- Depart from the hotel at 8.30 am via Fanjah, then proceed to “Wadi Bani Khalid,” which includes a drive through majestic mountains throughout the journey and swimming in lush green pools. A picturesque mountain village renowned for its Wadi and rocky canyons, complete with massive boulders and cliffs. The turquoise pools that lie in between the canyon’s large rocks and caves offer a fascinating place with stunning views and are perfect for a long swim.
- Also, discover “Muqal Cave,” which provides evidence of bats with 1 km trekking along inside the small rock formations. Spend two hours in Wadi Bani Khalid. Then continue to Bidya for lunch.
- After lunch, the subsequent part of the tour moves through the isolated desert of the “Wahiba Sands,” crossing miles of golden dunes and the wilderness of Sharqiyah, home to the nomadic Bedouins for centuries.
- Visit a “Bedouin Houses” family where you can buy local handicrafts and enjoy a camel ride (at an extra cost payable directly). Enjoy the adventurous “Dune Bashing.”
- The tour leaves from the desert to Muscat with some truly memorable experiences.
- Note: Please take swimming clothes, sunscreen, and a towel for going inside Wadi Bani Khalid.
Day 4: Full Day Coastal Tour
- Duration: (8.30 am to 17.00 pm)
- Highlights:
● Quriyat Village
● Bimmah Sink Hole
● Wadi Shab
● Wadi Tiwi
● White Sand Beach
- Highlights:
- Depart from the hotel at 8.30 am and take a coastal sea road to Sur with a stopover at the fishing village of “Quriyat.” It is well known for its stocks of kingfish and tuna. A large number of its inhabitants still earn their livelihood from fishing.
- Then proceed to “Bimmah Sink Hole,” where a meteorite (a piece of star) makes a big hole. It is also believed to have occurred naturally due to limestone erosion and the collapse of the rocks. Apparently, the sinkhole is also connected to the sea through an underground tunnel, which may explain the unique color of the water.
- After Bimmah Sink Hole, move to “Wadi Shab,” where you take a boat across to the other side of the oasis. Then walk along palm groves, rugged rocky cliffs, and swim through pools to reach the main attraction—a submerged cave with waterfalls. It takes about 30-45 minutes to walk to the cave, and to enter it, you must swim through a hole between the mountains.
- After spending some time in Wadi Shab, proceed to a local restaurant for lunch in “Wadi Tiwi.” In Wadi Tiwi, you will see a lush village surrounded by dates, lemon, and mango plantations.
- After a short photo stop, proceed to the beautiful “White Sand Beach,” also known as Fins Beach, with a clean blue sea connected to the Indian Ocean. The sea is rich with marine life, including turtles and dolphins.
- Then drive back to the hotel.
- Note: Please take swimming clothes, sunscreen, a towel, and trekking shoes for going inside Wadi Shab.
