"Desert & Coast Luxury"

Cross the Wahiba Sands Desert like the famous explorer Wilfred Thesiger and relax in the beautiful Khaluf Bay. A perfect short break for those looking to see Oman’s stunning coastline and the desert.

Day 1: We leave Muscat and head to Wadi Bani Khalid, Oman’s best loved wadi. There is some time to relax and enjoy a swim. Late afternoon we head into the Wahiba Sands desert. After checking into the Desert Nights Resort, we head up to the top of a sand dune for our first sunset experience.

Day 2: This morning we head out across the sand dunes as we begin our 4x4 traverse of the Wahiba Sands desert, made famous by the explorer Wilfred Thesiger. It is amazing to see the terrain and vegetation of the dunes change, and as we go along the guides will explain some of the history and mystique of these expansive sands. Lunch today will be served in the heart of the desert. We continue on through the desert to Ras Al Ruez where the desert meets the sea. We continue on down the coast a short distance to our first camp which is already laid out with drinks. Enjoy views of the ocean as
dinner is served on the beach.

Day 3: There is an opportunity for those looking to see more of the country to explore Masirah Island or partake in some bird watching amongst the reeds and marshland in the Bay of Mahawt with the experienced guides. Or for those simply looking to relax we head straight to the fantastic Khaluf Bay Camp. The group can choose different options and picnic lunches will be provided.

Day 4: The morning is free to relax in the beautiful settings of Khaluf Bay. After lunch we head North towards Nizwa, where we step back in time and wander around the old deserted village of Birkat Al Mawz, situated at the foot of the Hajar mountain range. Tonight we relax in the comforts of a 4* hotel in Nizwa.

Day 5: After breakfast we stroll around Nizwa goat market which is held outside the walls of the impressive Nizwa fort before driving back to Muscat. On arrival in Muscat we can drop you wherever you require.
