Oman Explore White Sand Desert | Coast and Barr Al Hikman

This 7-day journey through Oman begins in Muscat, where travelers are greeted at the airport and taken on a half-day city tour. Highlights include the magnificent Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the Royal Opera House (viewed from the outside), the lively Muttrah Corniche and Souq, the Bait Al Zubair Museum, and a photo stop at Al Alam Palace framed by the Jalali and Mirani forts. Afterward, guests check into their hotel and enjoy a relaxed evening in the capital.

From Muscat, the adventure heads into the interior with a visit to the stunning Wadi Bani Khalid, famous for its turquoise pools where visitors can swim or take a short hike. The journey continues into the golden dunes of the Wahiba Sands Desert, where an unforgettable sunset, dinner, and a starlit desert walk await at the camp. The next day brings a thrilling 4×4 crossing of the desert, leading to Barr Al Hikman, a paradise for birdwatching and pristine coastal landscapes. Guests stay at a comfortable camp, enjoying dinner and the untouched natural beauty.

Exploration continues with a visit to the spectacular Sugar Dunes, where white sands meet the sea. Travelers then take part in kayaking and a boat trip to Al Masirah Island, with a buffet lunch included, before returning to admire the dunes at sunset. The following day features a scenic coastal drive to Sur and onward to Ras Al Hadd. After checking into the hotel and enjoying an early dinner, guests may opt to join a late-night excursion to Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve to witness green turtles nesting on the beach.

The next morning offers an active excursion to Wadi Shab, where a trek through dramatic gorges leads to hidden waterfalls and natural pools for swimming. The journey continues to the striking Bimmah Sinkhole, a turquoise-water limestone crater, before returning to Muscat for the final overnight stay. On the last day, after breakfast, travelers are transferred to Muscat International Airport for their departure flight.

Throughout the tour, guests enjoy carefully selected accommodations: city hotels in Muscat, a desert camp in Wahiba Sands, a coastal camp at Barr Al Hikman, and a resort stay in Ras Al Hadd.
