Friends, welcome to the heart of the Arabian Peninsula - the Sultanate of Oman. This country is bordered by the United Arab Emirates, Yemen and Saudi Arabia and has a long coastline leading to the Gulf of Oman.
All travelers say that acquaintance with any country should begin with the capital, and this is true, because the capital is the mirror of the whole country.
The capital of Oman is the city of Muscat, in fact, we will begin our fascinating city tour with it today.
Muscat tour includes a number of the most famous sights. First of all, we will go to the most beautiful mosque of our planet - the mosque of Sultan Qaboos. This is truly the greatest building leaves no one indifferent. Here is the world's largest handmade carpet, and the most expensive chandelier, made entirely of SWAROVSKI crystal, adorns the double dome.
Next, we will go to the Royal Opera House Muscat. We all know very well that such structures are mainly characteristic of the countries of the former USSR and Europe, but it was thanks to the idea of Sultan Qaboos, who studied in England, that the construction of this modern architectural masterpiece was realized in the Sultanate of Oman.
Do you know that local Omanis drink besides Arabic coffee? Well, of course, this is the legendary tea "KARAK". If you have been to Oman and have not tasted this tea, consider that you have not been to Oman.
We will stop at a non-touristic place specifically to treat you to this divine and unusual drink. After tea drinking, we are waiting for the old part of the city and the traditional Matrah market, which is famous for its Arabic flavors, spices, local clothes and, of course, the main place for selling incense.
Before the last point along the route, we will climb to the observation deck, which is located on a hill and has the name "Fort Matrah". Having overcome only 200 steps, you will have a beautiful view of the entire seaport, and believe me, it's worth it.
Well, at the end of our route, the majestic Al Alam Palace, with its unique architecture, peaceful square and incredible garden.
Dear guests, I would like to ask you
Be sure to check out:
- The tour is designed for 4-6 hours
- Transfer is carried out from anywhere in Muscat (seaport, hotels, airport)
- When visiting the country, observe the rules of conduct and dress code
- We provide water throughout the route
Best regards, Old Oman
Looking for fantastic places? Well, you've come to the right place. Mountains, sea and wadis - that's what Oman is. This trip will take us to an amazing and majestic wadi, with its mysterious pools, crystal clear waters, outstanding natural beauty and surround sound. In the morning we meet and depart from Muscat towards the city of Sur. Along the way, you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the ocean, from where you can see almost the entire coast and watch the majestic mountains on the other side.
Upon arrival at the WADI SHAB village, a boat is waiting for us, which will take us from one coast to the other (travel time is approximately three to five minutes). Then there is a wonderful journey through the Wadi (travel time - about forty minutes one way). When you reach the point where the walking route ends, some of our travelers will be able to relax on the shores of this amazing coast and enjoy swimming in the purest warm water, and the other part will swim along the waterway to the legendary grotto. Inside which you will see an indescribable natural waterfall with almost drinking water.This tour is for travelers who are looking for something different and unusual experiences in Oman. In this excursion, you will see the 2 most beautiful places that can make you plunge into childhood. You will see a real paradise on earth - the famous natural bridge to our beloved "Wadi Shab" (a wadi is a valley flanked by mountains). After visiting the wadi, we will go to another amazing place 9 km away from it. Already there we can explore the uniqueness of this place and enjoy everything that nature has given us. The Bimmah Sink Hole is an amazing lake formed a few hundred years ago after two tectonic plates were separated, forming a tunnel through which water from the sea goes underground and then comes out to the surface again.
Having enjoyed all the beauty, we will return to our car and go to one of the most beautiful karst lakes in the world (included in the TOP-10), which is called "Bimmah Sink Hole" or, as the people say, "Devil's Eye". Local legends say that a star fell into this place, and underwater waters filled it with azure water. But unlike the wadi, the water in this lake is 50% fresh water, and 50% sea water, since it is located near the ocean
This will be the end of our exciting journey. But before heading to this lake, we will stop for an Omani-style lunch at a local restaurant. With these wonderful experiences in the past and stories to tell friends, we return to Muscat where everyone returns home with a smile on their face.
Hello dear traveler! Meet us and let's start our journey to Oman, the land of mysteries, together. We will be amazed by the breathtaking views of the mountains that you will enjoy on the way to the largest and most mysterious fortress in Oman - the "BAHLA" fort. It is fraught with many more questions than answers, because until recently it was hidden from prying eyes. But we will reveal all the secrets that we managed to discover, and you will be completely impressed by what you see. Then we will have lunch in an Omani restaurant, after which we will go for water procedures (swimming) in one of the most amazing natural places - Wadi Bani Khalid.
If we translate the word "WADI" into Russian, then in meaning it will mean "channel". The whole of Oman is indented with numerous wadis, but they are filled only after heavy rains. The uniqueness of Wadi Bani Khalid lies in the fact that the water in it is constant, thanks to underground mountain springs.
Our journey does not end there. We should definitely catch the sunset in the Wahiba desert. After all, it is for this spectacle that tourists from all over the world come. The silence and poetry of this legendary place, from where people started their civilization, is indescribable. Absolute peace and harmony with nature lasts until sunrise!
Translated into Russian, this means "channel", but these channels are filled with water only during heavy rains. Wadi Khalid is unique in that it is a system of natural pools constantly filled with crystal clear rainwater, which comes from the underground caves of the local mountains, which are constantly filled with water.
Today you will travel to Nizwa, the capital of the region.
This tour offers a fascinating exploration of Oman's ancient sites. During this informative, but active tour, everyone will be able to get acquainted with the untouched landscapes and culture of the country. We start at 8:00 am from your hotel, seaport or airport and move forward in a comfortable jeep to the southwestern corner of the country to the ancient city of Nizwa. This city is located at the foot of the Jebel Akhdar mountains, which means “Green Mountain” in Russian. As you tour the city, you'll learn about Islamic architecture, visit a traditional Arab market, prepare your tummies for a huge selection of dates and coffee. There are about 20 varieties of them in Nizwa!
Next, we will go to the citadel of this region - Fort "Nizva"
The Nizwa Fort is a large citadel that dominates the city of Nizwa. It was built on a hill southwest of the city in the 10th century. The fort played an important role, as it was at the crossroads of the inland trade routes of the Arabian Peninsula, and thanks to its construction, it retained control over the interior of Oman, as it had very fertile lands, which led to attempts to capture these territories.
Then we will have lunch at a local restaurant with traditional Omani cuisine, where you will find delicious Arabic meat and fish.
After lunch, we will leave Nizwa and drive to the village of Al-Hamra. Once it was a prosperous village, but now it is deserted. Walking through the narrow streets and traditional houses will give you a glimpse of what life was like in Omani times, while the date trees surrounding the village are reminiscent of the area's centuries-old history.
Well, at the end, we will have a sunset on Jebel Shams mountain, where the second largest canyon in the world is located. This is truly a mesmerizing sight.
Islands in the open ocean are always impressive and unforgettable. This is truly a unique tour, because in the process of following, together with you we will be able to watch curious dolphins jumping out, who are very fond of demonstrating their acrobatic etudes. For those who like to "throw a bait" in our arsenal there is always a rod for tuna, and our experienced boat (yacht) driver will always help and tell you how to catch a sea predator.
You will not notice how we will already sail to a completely uninhabited island where you will find snorkeling on a coral reef, swimming with turtles, meeting with underwater inhabitants and a colorful lunch in Omani style!!!
Don't forget to bring appropriate footwear and sunscreen!
I am pleased to introduce you to the Southern Region of the Sultanate of Oman. I am the first in Oman to develop and implement a unique one-day itinerary for you, which, according to many of my guests, includes the main and interesting places, since it is simply impossible to cover all the best and most memorable places in a day. Salalah is located on the shores of the Indian Ocean and is known for its evergreen gardens, majestic mountains, white sand beaches, beautiful waterfalls, ancient monuments and authentic local cuisine. We begin our exciting tour with a meeting at any point in the city of Salalah indicated by agreement and a departure to one of the most picturesque places - the Wadi Darbat oasis. An excursion to Wadi Darbat is the beginning of a journey through the incredibly picturesque places of Oman, and you will get acquainted with its most interesting and unusual sights, because in fact it is a chain of original pools with waterfalls filled with clear jade-colored fresh water, which has the status of a natural and ecologically clean reserve. As you know, water is life and an integral part of any living organism, and that is why here you can meet hundreds of camels that come here to drink. During the tour, you will have time to enjoy the one-of-a-kind experience of visiting attractive places and take unique photographs.
Next, we will climb to a height of 1821 meters above sea level to the mountain "Jabal Samhan"
As soon as you get out of the car, from the height of the clouds, you will have an incredibly fantastic panoramic view of the foot of this majestic mountain. This is one of the most visited places by all bloggers and travelers, as you will get cool photos and euphoric emotions from here.
Having recovered from the sensations received, we will go to the park, where you can see how the oldest baobabs grow in real wild nature, whose age reaches 800 years!
Right on the spot, I will reveal to you one secret that almost no one knows about. But more on that later.
Did you know that this type of tree is one of the most ancient on our planet. According to some scientists, the age of some reaches up to 4000 years, and the radius of the trunk is 9 meters!
I will tell and show about the interesting facts of this tree at our meeting, but we will continue on our way. Ahead of us is another unusual surprise that you will not be able to believe your eyes. By the way, it was in the program "Eagle and Tails"! This is an anti-gravity road where the car will go up at neutral speed with the engine off! Yes, yes, you heard right and it's not a typo. It is not known for certain why this natural phenomenon exists, but the fact remains, you will feel and see it with your own eyes.
We descend along the panoramic serpentine to the coast of the Indian Ocean, where the most ancient and mysterious settlement awaits us - the city of Samharam. According to local legend, the legendary Queen of Sheba, the very favorite of King Solomon, lived here.
There is no information when this city was built, but there is evidence of the dawn of this settlement, which dates from the period from the first century BC to the 4th century AD.
Now some facts. Approximately 500 inhabitants of this city lived on the territory. They were engaged in both agriculture and the extraction of the most valuable incense, due to which the well-being of this people was carried out. But the most interesting are the archaeological finds! During excavations, it was discovered and proved that they built their houses with two or more floors. And all this in the time of Jesus Christ. Do you know what else was found? You won't believe it, but... But this, as they say, is a trade secret. I got it with overwork during repeated communication with scientists who excavated at this place. But I will definitely share this information with you.
And finally, a long-awaited lunch in a traditional restaurant of authentic Arabic cuisine, where meat, fish, rice and fresh juices are waiting for you. At the end of our rich excursion, after lunch we will go to the most beautiful wild beach "Mughsail Beach" with its white sands and majestic waves. We will climb to an amazing natural fountain against the background of a steep ocean coast with an incredible panoramic view of the mountains and the ocean.
At the sunset of the outgoing and eventful day, inhaling the aroma of the sea air, you will remember Oman with the most beautiful and delightful emotions, but there is a transfer ahead of us, where we will say goodbye to you with the words “see you soon”
