This is a compact route with several visits and longer drives. Wadi activities depend on the group’s mobility, swimming ability and local conditions; alternatives can be discussed.
Turtle viewing is subject to reserve schedules, availability and wildlife activity. A night visit may require a different overnight arrangement or an extra night rather than continuing to Wahiba Sands afterwards. The destination partner should confirm the sequence before the program is offered to clients.
