Description
It combines adventure in the great outdoors with cultural discovery and lazy luxurious days. Start on the Indian Ocean coast with 2 nights at The Chedi Muscat, a tranquil retreat set between the beach and the mountains. You might be happy just to relax and be pampered here, but you can also explore the souks, Sultan’s Palace and Grand Mosque in nearby Muscat.
Next, it’s into the wild for 3 nights in semi-permanent camp; luxury under canvas. The first 2 nights are spent in the mountains close to the ancient capital of Nizwa. You might like to cycle through the stunning scenery of the mountain ranges or barter in the Friday market in Nizwa. Your last night is spent in the desert of Wahiba Sands, riding on camels to the top of the dunes to witness a beautiful sunset followed by the starriest sky.
From the desert to the ocean, you will head back to Muscat airport for your onward flight to Dubai and then a journey to Zighy Bay in the Musandam Peninsula of Oman, a totally secluded beachside retreat built in the style of an Omani village. Each villa has a private pool and service here is exceptional – perfect for a relaxing, luxurious end to your holiday.
