About this trip
Oman still flies under the radar compared to its Gulf neighbours, and this eight-day trip gives you a solid introduction to the country's mix of old and new. You'll move between cities and landscapes, from ancient sites to some of the region's most striking desert scenery.
A night camping out in the Wahiba Sands is a highlight, followed by a swim in the cool pools of Wadi Bani Khalid. You'll also get out to Wadi Nakhr, often called the Grand Canyon of Oman, for a proper sense of the country's scale.
