Oman: Sea, Desert and Canyons
$2940
per personThis spectacular 8-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 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 folk dancing around a campfire, under an incredible starry-night sky.
In contrast to its more popular neighbors like Dubai and UAE, Oman embodies a more humble and refreshing take to its attractions. Bring home beautiful aromatic Arabic perfumes and incense, silverware and the famous Omani sweets as souvenirs of your Arabian adventure!
8 Days, 7 Nights: Muscat, Ras Al Hadd, Sur, Wahiba Sands, Nizwa, Misfat, Mussanah
