Arabian Adventures in Oman and Dubai!

The capital of Oman, Muscat has a history spanning back to 6th millennium BCE, and is rich with history and culture. A port city, Muscat's shimmering coastline is brought to life with the sunset, the historic architecture and Gulf of Oman coated in a warm, orange glow. Included in your itinerary is an immersive Muscat City Tour, the best way to properly experience and learn about the city. With ornate, palatial Islamic architecture, you'll be transported back in time to as you discover visual masterpieces, including the opulent Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and the bustling Mutrah Souq, a traditional Arabian market. 

During your stay at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa you'll also embark on a day trip to the famed Wadi Shab, an untouched desert valley with glassy turquoise water and vivid sandstone canyons. Get ready to hike and swim as you explore this rugged wilderness, before enjoying a superb coastal drive back to the city! This experience is also included in your itinerary.  

There is something ethereal about the desert, its ever-shifting sands and intense blue skies like something from another world. The Wahiba Desert is known particularly for its expansive sand dunes that seem to stretch on endlessly to the horizon; make sure you've got your camera with you! 

Whilst staying at Desert Nights Camp, you'll be able to experience a wide range of desert adventures such as dune bashing, quad biking sand boarding and dune trekking. If culture is more your thing, why not visit a local Bedouin family house and learn more about their unique way of life, discover the rich history of the Mantrib old fort or visit a local Souq for an authentic shopping experience? Your Luxury Travel Specialist will be able to organise any of these experiences for you.

The Al Hajar Mountains are impressive; elevated 2000 metres above sea level, you'll be presented with another world, one in which you'll almost feel a part of the sky. 

During your stay at Alila Jabal Akhdar, you can choose to embrace relaxation or embark on desert adventures (or combine both!). Whether you want to hike Oman's highest peak, discover the sky above through stargazing or visit the idyllic traditional villages of Al Aqr and Al ayn, you'll never be bored throughout your stay. Your Luxury Travel Specialist can organise any of these experiences for you.

The glitziest city in the Middle East, Dubai is like a step into the future, its glistening skyscrapers, vast shopping malls and long stretches of sandy beaches perfectly combining a city and beach escape!

After all your adventures in Oman, there's no blaming you if you want to hit the pool or the beach whilst in Dubai and enjoy the hot, sunny weather! However, if you're looking to explore Dubai, you can visit the Gold Souks and marvel at the vast selection of jewellery, enjoy a thrilling Dubai Rib Boat Cruise or visit the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building! Your Luxury Travel Specialist can organise any of these experiences for you.
