Luxury Oman

Pick up from hotel 09:00 AM

Muscat Sightseeing tour is a sightseeing tour around Muscat, the capital of Oman, and a great chance to soak up the Arabic atmosphere as well as to explore the city where the ancient architecture and monuments are combined with the modern life. The first sight in the tour is Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque which is truly a masterpiece of the world architecture. It took 6 years to erect it and in 2001 it was successfully opened. This mosque is a light traditional Islamic building which is made from sandstones and marble. It has got 5 minarets – one main and 4 side minarets which create a special distinctive look. The internal design is rich in mosaics, huge handmade Persian carpets and chandeliers decorated with crystals. Our next stop is the Royal Opera House – the pearl of the Oman musical and stage art. The third sight we can’t avoid seeing is Muttrah Souqthe. This market is located right at the banks of the Gulf of Oman. That’s an ideal place to have a look at the ordinary life of Oman. Just go along the rows, look for the items, bargain and have fun as here you can find everything starting from spices finishing traditional rugs, vases or just souvenirs.  Having seen the market, we should also look at the Mutrah fort. The fort leads its history to the 1580s when the Portuguese had built it. It served as a military defense from the rivals in the past, but today it’s open for tourists. Next thing in Muscat to see is a well-known Al Alam Palace — the residence of Sultan Qaboos. From both sides the forts surround the palace so you’ll likely enjoy the magnificent scenery. Located in the center of the city it always attracts a lot of visitors and although people are not allowed to go inside, they can easily go around and take cool photos.
 

08:00 -  From Muscat we start our journey and go to the East Coast. We have our first stop at Bimmah sinkhole. There we have a short swim and lead to the entrance of Wadi Shab. Here, after crossing the lake on a board of small ferry, we start hiking in Wadi Shab. It is an easy hike leading us to the beautiful fresh pools where we can enjoy swimming to the hidden cavern with a waterfall. By the evening we arrive at the hotel in Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve and have our dinner. After dinner we lead you to Turtle Reserve to witness the unique moment of turtle's lives - lying their eggs at the wild beach.

After a tasty lunch in the Wadi we drive to Bidiya village. Today we are going to visit Bedouin family in the desert.
