Your day begins with a pickup from Muscat at 8:30 AM by an Omani English-speaking driver-guide in a comfortable SUV (4WD). The first stop is the picturesque Bimmah Sinkhole, a natural limestone crater filled with turquoise water, where you can admire the views and dip your feet. From there, enjoy a scenic drive along the coast to Wadi Shab, one of Oman’s most stunning wadis. After a short boat ride at the wadi’s entrance, embark on a moderate trek through lush greenery and dramatic rock formations. The highlight is swimming in the emerald pools and discovering a hidden cave with a waterfall. Comfortable shoes and swimwear are recommended for this part of the adventure.

After exploring Wadi Shab, you’ll have the option to stop for lunch at a local restaurant or enjoy a packed meal. In the afternoon, continue the journey with a 2-hour drive along the coast to Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve, renowned for its nesting sea turtles. At 7:30 PM, join a guided nighttime turtle-watching tour to witness these majestic creatures coming ashore to lay their eggs – a truly magical experience.

Following the tour, drive to the coastal town of Sur, about 45 minutes away, for your overnight stay. Check in at a comfortable hotel, such as the Sur Plaza Hotel, where you can relax after a day full of exploration and adventure.

Around 08:00am our tour guide & drive will meet you to give you an adventure ride to the fascinating desert of Oman. You’ll ride through tiny villages & towns prior to arriving at Wadi Bani Khalid driving through the mountain giving a picturesque view of the magnificent terrain below. You’ll travel through several beautiful villages nested in the huge mountains. The road here winds down to the wadi along with a large pool bordered with vegetation and concludes at a village. Here we will park our vehicle and proceed on a brief hike to the deep pools of the wadi. You can enjoy a swim here if you want to experience the divine grace of nature.

Then you will continue to  the Wahiba Sands (the great desert of Oman). Soon you’ll come face-to-face with the massive desert & our veteran driver will drive you through the beautiful sand dunes to offer you an excitement of dune driving

Here you will also get the opportunity to meet the well-known Bedouin family and know more about their life in the desert.  Thenceforth, you’ll say bye-bye to these desert inhabitants and will be driven to the campsite.
