Treasures of Oman
Setting out from Muscat, your first stop is the turquoise blue sinkhole at Bimmah. After a short swim, your guide will take you to Wadi Shab, where you will spend the rest of the morning hiking and swimming. Be sure to go to the waterfall in the hidden cave at the end of the Wadi.
Afterwards, you will go to the city of Sur and check-in to a hotel. Before going to sleep, you will be taken to Ras Al Jinz to meet the magnificent Sea Turtles. The next day, you will learn about the fascinating Dhow building techniques at the traditional boatyards. Later, you will go to the tranquil Wadi Bani Khalid for some peaceful swimming and hiking. In the evening, your guide will take you into the desert for an evening in a desert camp. On your last day, after a leisurely morning in the desert, you will be brought to the Ibra Market where you can sample local delicacies.
