Oman is one of Arabia’s true gems - a land where rugged mountains rise against vast golden deserts, and a sprawling coastline stretches endlessly into the distance. In the towns and cities, the traditional seamlessly blends with modernity and the locals enjoy a gentle and unhurried pace of life, nothing feels rushed.
This wonderful adventure will take us from the heart of Oman's vibrant capital, deep into the mountains and deserts of the Bedouin and the old Omani Imamate. We will go off-road in the breathless landscapes of the Hajar Mountains and the shifting golden sands of Wahiba, explore the historic sites of Jabreen Castle and Nizwa Fort and journey into the vast emptiness of the Rub Al Khali, the Empty Quarter.
We will very much get off the beaten track for this adventurous tour. This is a journey of incredible contrasts, following in the footsteps of the pioneering explorers of old and the Bedouins who have called these sands home. We will be taking in some of the richest natural and cultural highlights that Arabia has to offer.

Map & Itinerary
Individual departures may vary so please refer to the information in the tour specific links in the Dates and Prices section below
Day 1 Tour starts in Muscat
Day 1 Tour starts in Muscat
The tour starts from Oman’s International airport to coincide with the suggested groups flights (see "Getting There"). We will head straight to the magnificent Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, one of the largest in the Arab world. With its grand marble halls, this architectural masterpiece can accommodate up to 20,000 worshippers. Next, we’ll immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Muttrah Souk, one of the region’s most famous markets. Here, you’ll have the chance to explore a maze of narrow alleyways lined with shopfronts selling everything from spices to handicrafts. We’ll then visit Old Muscat to see the beautiful Al Alam Palace, the ceremonial residence of the Sultan, flanked by two 16th-century Portuguese forts—Jalali and Mirani. Muscat itself is nestled within a dramatic ring of horse-shoe shaped mountains, stretching down to the scenic waters of Muscat Bay, visible from both Old Muscat and the Muttrah Corniche. After lunch, there will be the opportunity to enjoy some free time, freshen up, or explore independently.
Day 2 Muscat – Misfat al Abriyeen - Jebel Shams
Day 2 Muscat – Misfat al Abriyeen - Jebel Shams
This morning, we will visit a local fish market, where traders display the fresh catch of the day. Fishing has long been a cornerstone of Omani culture and economy, and these markets remain an essential part of daily life. Next we leave the city behind and embark on an off-road adventure through the stunning Hajar Mountains in our 4WD vehicles. Our first stop is the scenic Wadi Bani Awf, a perfect spot for a picnic lunch surrounded by the rugged beauty of the hills. In the afternoon, we will journey to the charming mountain village of Misfat al Abriyeen, known for its narrow alleys and stairways. As we wander through this oasis town, we’ll discover its lush plantations, sustained by the falaj irrigation system—a testament to Oman’s ancient engineering ingenuity. Later this afternoon, we will reach our mountaintop hotel perched high on Jebel Shams, the tallest mountain in Oman. Known as the "Mountain of the Sun," Jebel Shams offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes.
*Driving time: Approx. 4-5 hrs
Day 3 Grand Canyon Walk - Jabreen Castle - Nizwa
Day 3 Grand Canyon Walk - Jabreen Castle - Nizwa
This morning, we begin with the renowned "Balcony Walk", a scenic 8-kilometre trail* that offers breathtaking vistas of Oman's Grand Canyon. Carved into the canyon’s towering walls, the path leads us to an abandoned village, where we can explore its ruins while soaking in the stunning surroundings. After working up an appetite, we will enjoy a home-cooked lunch at Ali's house nearby. Suitably well-fed, we continue our journey through the rugged mountain roads making a brief photo-stop to capture the historic town of Bahla. From this vantage point, we’ll have a complete view of the historic oasis town encircled by its ancient town walls, and the Bahla Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We’ll make our way to Jabreen Castle, a remarkable example of Oman’s 17th-century architecture, whose exquisite painted wooden ceilings provide eloquent testimony to the craftsmanship and artistry of the era. Built in 1675 by Imam Bil’Arab bin Sultan Al Yarubi, the castle was designed primarily as a residence and a centre for cultural studies, and learning, rather than as a military stronghold, though it also served this purpose. Finally, we arrive to the city of Nizwa.
*Walking Distance: 8km, 3-4 hours
Please note, the trail can be narrow, with loose stones and at times uneven underfoot.
Day 4 Nizwa - Tanuf - Nizwa
Day 4 Nizwa - Tanuf - Nizwa
An early start today as we experience Nizwa’s Friday cattle market, the largest in Oman, offering a glimpse into local life here. At the Nizwa Souk, we'll have the opportunity to purchase local products such as dates, saffron, and spices. Next, we visit the iconic Nizwa Fort, renowned for its distinctive round tower, built in the 17th century to protect the Sumail Gap during the historic struggle between the Sultan and the Radical Imams. The fort is an exceptional example of Oman’s defensive architecture, and a climb to the top of the tower rewards visitors with panoramic views of the city and its surrounding date plantations. After lunch, we visit Tanuf Village, where we’ll explore the ruins of a once-thriving community. Inhabited until the 1950s, the village was rebel stronghold and was heavily damaged and abandoned during the Jabal Akhdar Wars, primarily fought between the forces of the Sultanate of Oman and rebellious tribes, led by the Radical Imams, who opposed the Sultan's rule. Returning to Nizwa, we enjoy some free time, and prepare for our upcoming wild camping in the desert.
Day 5 Nizwa - Wahiba Sands
Day 5 Nizwa - Wahiba Sands
Leaving Nizwa, our journey takes us to the awe-inspiring Wahiba Sands, an expansive desert spanning over 10,000 square kilometres. This imposing landscape of shifting sands and towering dunes is home to scattered settlements of semi-nomadic Bedouin tribes, offering a glimpse into a timeless way of life. En-route, we stop at the market town of Sinaw to gather any final necessities for our desert adventure. For lunch, we will stop at the camp of Bedouin family to enjoy a home-cooked meal. Continuing deeper into the desert, our drivers navigate the rolling dunes in our 4WD vehicles known as "dune bashing". As the day unfolds, we find a suitable camping spot, and enjoy the ever changing landscape of colours at sunset.
*Driving time: Approx. 4-5 hrs
Day 6 Drive across Wahiba Sands to Al Khaluf
Day 6 Drive across Wahiba Sands to Al Khaluf
This morning we journey through the dunes of Wahiba towards the eastern coast and the stunning pink shell beaches and white dunes of Al Khaluf. Also known as the "Sugar Dunes" the area lives up to its name with its pristine, pale sands. Today is a long drive but we will stop for lunch and photos along the way. By late afternoon, we'll arrive at Al Khaluf beach to set up our camp* and there is time to enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea. As we settle down for another evening under an Arabian sky, our drivers will prepare a delicious al fresco dinner.
*Depending on the weather, the group may need to camp slightly further away from the beach
*Driving time: Approx. 5hrs
Day 7 Al Khaluf - Duqm
Day 7 Al Khaluf - Duqm
Today, we drive south toward the burgeoning port city of Duqm. Along the way, our route is dotted with picturesque viewpoints and photo opportunities as we pass by fishing villages and we'll make a stop at Sirab Beach. By afternoon, we arrive at our hotel, where we'll have the chance to enjoy the pool facilities and a proper bed, before embarking on a further two nights of wild camping in the desert.
Day 8 Drive into the Empty Quarter
Day 8 Drive into the Empty Quarter
This morning, we venture inland towards the vast emptiness of the Rub al Khali, or Empty Quarter, a staggering 250,000 square miles of arid desert that dominates much of the southern Arabian Peninsula. This is the heartland of the nomadic Bedouin, made famous by Wilfred Thesiger in his book ‘Arabian Sands’. We'll drive from Duqm to Haima, passing through Jaluni, where, if we're fortunate, we may glimpse the Arabian Oryx grazing in the wild — though their elusive nature makes sightings rare. Continuing toward Maqshin on the edge of the Empty Quarter, where we’ll stop for lunch. We'll journey deeper into the Empty Quarter, through the endless sea of sand stretching as far as the eye can see. Our day concludes at a remote campsite in the heart of the desert. Here, we can enjoy the sunset and unwind beneath the star-filled Arabian sky.
*Driving time: Approx. 4-5hrs
Day 9 Empty Quarter
Day 9 Empty Quarter
Today we continue our journey through the Empty Quarter making our way to a small desert oasis, where we’ll enjoy a picnic lunch and the precious shade found here. We will visit Al Hashman, a settlement of nomadic Bedouins, whose way of life is supported and preserved by the Omani government. As evening falls, we will set up camp for our final night in the desert and enjoy the serene beauty and stillness of the desert once more before returning to modern civilisation tomorrow.
*Driving time: Approx. 5hrs
Day 10 Drive to Salalah
Day 10 Drive to Salalah
Our journey to the coastal city of Salalah today takes us from the desert to the ocean by way of the Qara Mountains. En-route we stop at Wadi Dawka, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famously known as the "Frankincense Wadi", home to a collection of naturally growing frankincense trees, a testament to Oman’s rich history in the ancient incense trade. Upon arrival in Salalah, we’ll have the opportunity to relax on the white-sand beach, with the soothing waters of the Arabian Sea just steps away from our hotel. Unique to the Middle Eastern peninsula, Salalah is the only region touched by the Indian Ocean monsoon, lending it a lush and distinctive charm unlike anywhere else in the region.
*Driving time: Approx. 4hrs
Day 11 In Salalah
Day 11 In Salalah
This morning we will stop at Wadi Hanna where we'll encounter a cluster of Baobab Trees, often referred to as the "upside-down trees" for their unique appearance. From there, we explore more of the Dhofar region, arriving at Wadi Darbat, a scenic spot for nature lovers. Here there is a low lying seasonal waterfall, which comes into full force during the monsoon season between July and August, and the strength of the waterfall varies throughout the rest of the year. In the afternoon, we explore the Al Baleed Archaeological Museum, home to the ruins of an ancient port city once hailed as "magnificent" by Marco Polo. This historic city played a pivotal role in the frankincense trade. Later, we have some free time to explore the vibrant Al Husn Souk, where you can browse for frankincense and do any last-minute souvenir shopping. Afterwards, we'll come together for our final group dinner.

ACCOMMODATION USED ON THIS TOUR
Al Falaj Hotel, Muscat
Al Falaj is a well-located and comfortable four star hotel in the city centre. Both convenient for business travel and tourists, the Al Falaj is next to the business district and a short distance from the main tourist attractions and beach. The 140 rooms all have a modern décor and are very clean and comfortable with en suite bathrooms, air conditioning, satellite TVs and safes. The hotel has its own lobby bar and two restaurants; one serves a variety of Omani and International dishes, and the second specialises in Japanese cuisine. Guests can also relax by the outdoor swimming pool or with a visit to the sauna and steam room.
Sama Heights Resort, Jebel Shams
Formerly known as Jabal Shams Heights Resort, the Sama Heights Resort is a celebrated hotel located in the heart of the Ajar mountain range. Standing at an altitude of 2100m above sea level, the property is a welcome escape from the hotter temperatures of Muscat and the desert. Using locally-sourced Omani stone and recycled materials, the unassuming villas and bungalows melt into the mountain landscape and offer simple but spacious rooms with en suite bathrooms, or you can enjoy a night in a Bedouin style tent for something a little different.
Falaj Daris Hotel, Nizwa
The three-star Falaj Daris Hotel lies just four kilometres outside the historic town of Nizwa. Set in landscaped gardens with two outdoor swimming pools, surrounded by Nizwa’s rugged mountains, the hotel offers a quiet and scenic haven to relax in after a day's travelling. The guest rooms are simple, comfortable and include all standard amenities. The hotel features a restaurant, poolside bar, small gym and steam room, and children's play area.
Wahiba Sands Wild Camp, Wahiba Sands
Spending a night in the dunes is an extraordinary experience and the only way to truly experience the amazing quiet and stillness of this almost uninhabited landscape. See the sands turn all different colours as the sun sinks before sitting around a beduoin fire and eating dinner prepared by your guide. Camp in the desert in modern dome tents. All camping equipment is provided although you will need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow.
Khaluf Wild Beach Camp, Khaluf
Your camp will be in the desert dunes close to the coast. Watch the most stunning sunset, sit around a campfire and catch shooting stars, seemingly without another soul alive in the universe. This experience will not be for everyone. The camping, although comfortable with mattresses, tables and chairs, is reasonably rudimentary. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow. But for those with a sense of adventure who like to get off the beaten track to witness nature at its most serene and beautiful and are prepared to rough it a little, this is an experience that will stay with you forever.
City Hotel Duqm, Duqm
Established to cater for business travellers, the City Hotel Duqm is a comfortable option for those overnighting in Duqm where there are limited options. Rooms are simply decorated and clean, and facilities include a multi-cuisine restaurant and small gym.
Empty Quarter Wild Camp, Empty Quarter
Your wild camp will be set up this evening in a remote area of the desert in a truly epic location. And what an experience it will be... The size of the dunes, the colour of the dunes and the scale on which this sand sea rides, stretching as it does over a quarter of a million square kilometres deep into Saudi Arabia and Yemen, is like nothing else. Here you will camp and explore, climb the dunes to watch the most stunning sunset, sit around a campfire and catch shooting stars, seemingly without another soul alive in the universe. This experience will not be for everyone. The camping, although comfortable with mattresses, tables and chairs, is reasonably rudimentary. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag and pillow. But for those with a sense of adventure who like to get off the beaten track to witness nature at its most serene and beautiful and are prepared to rough it a little, this is an experience that will stay with you forever.
Salalah Beach Resort & Villa, Salalah
Situated just five kilometres from the centre of Oman’s second city, the Salalah Beach Resort and Villa is two hotels combined into one with shared swimming pool and dining facilities. The three-star resort houses large rooms, spread across four stories, each simply styled in plain décor with a private balcony. The Villa property next door to the main hotel building is smaller with fewer rooms. Both beachfront properties have direct access to the ocean and shore. The hotel presents a wonderfully affordable option for those wanting a comfortable, beachfront stay close to the ancient town.

More details can be found here - https://www.wildfrontierstravel.com/visa

Passports should ideally be valid for a minimum period of 6 months from the end of your tour.
Non-UK passport holders or non-UK residents should contact the relevant embassies for individual requirements.
VACCINATIONS & ADDITIONAL TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS
There are no mandatory vaccination requirements for travellers to Oman.
A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is a requirement for travellers arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission.
For all destinations, please make sure you are up-to-date with any standard vaccinations (e.g. MMR, Hepatitis A, Tetanus) as recommended by your local health care provider.
For the most up-to-date information on all vaccination requirements and the most suitable anti-malarial tablets, we strongly suggest that you seek advice from your local travel centre or consult an official travel health website such as www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk or www.travelhealthpro.org.uk

If necessary further details will be sent out to you upon booking, however ensuring that correct and valid visas & vaccinations are obtained remains the sole responsibility of the client.

The choice is completely yours and we can usually arrange anything from simply additional accommodation and transfers to full tailor-made itineraries*. Please contact the office for more details and to discuss your requirements.
*Please note bespoke, tailor-made itineraries need to be a minimum of 7 days and we can only offer them in countries where we have a tailor-made expert
Governmental Travel Advice
Many governments issue advice which highlights potential hazards their citizens might experience when travelling abroad.

Click to follow links to the advice of the British Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) or the US State Department.
Non-UK citizens should consult the travel advice of their respective governments.
Key Information
CLIMATE
With its hot, dry winters, Oman makes for a perfect destination at this time of year. Expect daytime temperatures from 20°C to early 30°C. Night-time temperatures in the desert can be a little fresh although nowhere near freezing, but there may be a morning dew.
IS THIS TRIP FOR ME?
It may sound obvious but Wild Frontiers tours are not always for everyone and it is important to us that the tour you choose is the most suitable. All our tours have a fitness rating as a guideline but you should check the day-by-day itinerary carefully. In certain instances we may ask you to complete a travel questionnaire before confirming your booking in order to ensure your suitability. Should you have any concerns about your ability to partake in any aspect of the tour then please contact the office.
KEY ASPECTS TO CONSIDER
Anyone in a reasonable state of health, with an open mind and a sense of adventure should be perfectly able to cope with this tour, as many of the activities are optional.
As the crew will be with you throughout the desert (they will be driving you), it will be all hands to the deck when you get to camp in the evenings, so it will be a team effort to put up tents etc., so all help will be gratefully received!
For the camping nights please note that the facilities will be “au naturel” and there will be no showers, as all the water used will have to carried in the vehicles – that said there will a small amount of water each night to be able to have a quick wash.
Sleeping mats will be provided, however you will need to bring your own 2/3/4 season sleeping bag. A limited number of sleeping bags can be hired for an additional fee but availability is limited and they need to be reserved in advanced.
If you fancy a tipple, whilst on holiday, it can be quite hard to get hold of alcohol outside of the main international hotels and therefore it may be worth picking up a bottle in Duty Free of your preferred drink to have while camping in the desert.
This tour has a low fitness rating as the hiking on this tour is not strenuous however there are some walks where paths maybe uneven, narrow or slippery.
THE NATURE OF ADVENTURE TRAVEL
We feel that it’s worth pointing out that while we will always strive to stick as close to the stated itinerary as possible, it may be necessary from time to time to make changes to our itineraries or services (due to weather, political and religious influences etc.) and this can happen with little or no notice. This unpredictability can be one of the most exciting aspects of adventure travel and for many of our clients often leads to unexpected highlights as the tour-leader necessarily adapts the tour to the changing conditions. However we are aware that this lack of assuredness may not suit everyone. As such, with the greatest respect, if you are someone who needs to know that everything will happen exactly as planned, we would kindly suggest that perhaps our tours are not for you. Adventure travel can be infectious and once you’ve caught the bug, it is likely to never leave you, but especially if this is your first such tour we would strongly urge you to give us a call if you have any concerns whatsoever about your suitability for this trip.
TRAVELLING SOLO AND SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS
As a company approximately 70% of our clients are solo travellers, so it’s very unlikely you’ll be alone!
Our prices are typically based on twin-share accommodation but single supplements are not compulsory for any Wild Frontiers tour. If you prefer not to pay a single supplement we’ll pair you with someone else of the same sex for you to share with throughout the trip.
On this trip, if you do opt to pay for a single supplement then please note that it will cover you for all nights of the tour including all camping nights, where you will get your own tent.
For the desert camping everyone will be given a two-man domed tents for 4-nights of wild camping (even if not paying for a single supplement).
Please note that paying a single supplement entitles you to lone occupancy of a single room. In many cases these rooms will be of the same size as a double/twin room, but in some cases they may be smaller.
INSURANCE
Insurance that provides cover for emergency repatriation in case of a medical emergency is compulsory for all tours. You should be aware that due to some of the geographical areas visited and some of the activities included on certain of our trips some standard insurance policies may not always provide adequate cover. As such we strongly recommend that you purchase a policy that adequately covers your trip. Please see the Insurance section for more details.
