$3800
This spectacular 9-day tour welcomes you with an array of adventures and charms like no other. This has to be one of our more exciting Oman tours as it covers the amazing Sea, Desert, and Canyon landscapes. Oman wouldn’t be complete without sand dune bashing through the desert (a bumpy and thrilling ride on a 4-wheel drive) and Omani BBQ around a campfire, under an incredible starry-night sky.
As you travel through this vast land and meet the locals, you would be able to appreciate Omani’s down-to-earth and refreshing take to its natural beauties and attractions. Bring home fabulous photos, aromatic Arabic perfumes and incense, beautiful silverware and the famous Omani sweets as souvenirs of your Arabian adventure!
