The sample combines cultural visits, desert scenery and coastal stops with a stay in Abu Dhabi. Some days include longer drives or several visits.
The coastal sightseeing and onward flight on Day 6 require careful timing. The final program should reflect the flight schedule and allow adequate airport time; an extra night or fewer stops may be appropriate.
Wadi walking and swimming depend on the group’s abilities and local conditions. Turtle viewing, site access and activities are subject to schedules and availability; wildlife sightings are not guaranteed. Documentation requirements for both countries should be confirmed before booking.
Departure flight to Muscat on the chosen route. Arrival and accommodation.
Visit Muscat, including the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, built of sandstone and marble. Highlights include a beautiful Swarovski chandelier and a huge Persian carpet adorning the main prayer hall.

Continue to Jabrin, to visit the finest castle in Oman, built in the late 17th century, which became a center of learning in Oman. This castle features exquisitely planned designs, including space for the “Wali,” the women’s bath, the kitchen, the “MAJLIS,” etc. Most of the ceilings are decorated with beautiful Islamic motifs. A brief stop at the Bahla Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dinner at the hotel.
