Highlights
Contrasting Landscapes: This tour offers a rare opportunity to experience the stark contrast between the arid, rolling dunes of the Wahiba Sands desert and the lush, tranquil oasis of Wadi Bani Khalid in a single day. Authentic Bedouin Experience: Wahiba Sands is home to Bedouin tribes who have lived in the desert for centuries. The tour often includes a visit to a Bedouin camp, where travelers can learn about their traditional way of life, enjoy Omani hospitality, and experience activities like camel riding or dune bashing. Adventure and Relaxation: The tour offers a balanced mix of adrenaline-pumping activities in the desert, such as 4x4 dune driving, and serene moments at Wadi Bani Khalid, where visitors can swim in natural pools, explore the wadi’s caves, or simply relax by the water. Stunning Natural Beauty: Wadi Bani Khalid is one of the most picturesque wadis in Oman, with its turquoise pools, palm-fringed pathways, and dramatic cliffs.

Itinerary
Fanja old town is a quaint 400-year old or so village where you can enjoy nice views and go back in time. The abandoned mud houses and ancient towers that still miraculously stand offer perfect spots for panoramic views of the Wadi Fanja and the surrounding Al-Hajar Mountains.
Wadi Bani Khalid. This is one of the biggest and most beautiful wadis that Oman is famous for. The wadi canyon is impressive, with its amazing steep walls and breathtaking crystal-clear water pools it is awesome to look at on its own. However, one can also enjoy a swim in the relaxing cool freshwater pool or just sunbathe. The wadi is so grand that you can even have the chance to walk deeper right into the wadi itself or maybe visit its hidden caves
Wahiba Sands Desert, where you drive off road and see stretches after stretches of pure sand and endless towering sand dunes. Here you will get to appreciate and experience the real feel and magic of the Omani desert. We have the chance to visit a traditional Bedouin house where we can try Omani coffee and dates (depending on availability), also you can ride Camel and drive to the dunes and take lots of photos.

About Muscat
Muscat, Oman's capital, stretches between rugged mountains and the Gulf of Oman, with a grand mosque, old forts, souks and a graceful corniche.
The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is the city's showpiece, with a vast prayer hall, an enormous hand-woven carpet and a crystal chandelier, set among marble courtyards. In old Muscat, the colourful Al Alam Palace is flanked by the Portuguese-era forts of Jalali and Mirani, perched on rocks above the harbour.
