Oman's Highlights - On Sinbad's traces

Welcome to Dubai, the vibrant metropolis on the Persian Gulf! This fascinating city in the heart of the United Arab Emirates combines both tradition and modernity. With its breathtaking skyscrapers, luxurious shopping centers and exotic desert landscapes, Dubai has a lot to offer. From traditional souks to futuristic attractions, enjoy the diversity of Dubai.

This day is dedicated completely to sailing through the impressive fjords. There are frequent stops in bays where you can snorkel, swim or kayak if you wish.

Welcome to the capital of the Sultanate. On arrival at the airport in Muscat, you will be greeted by your personal driver. After all of the suitcases are stowed in the car, you will be taken to your hotel and the journey on Sinbad's traces can begin.

This morning, you will follow the perfectly constructed panorama road and continue towards the Omani mountains. Approximately 200 km from Muscat, on the southern edge of the Hadjar Mountains, is the oasis city of Nizwa. Especially in the past, this city played an important role in the history of Oman, since it was once the capital of the country and is still an important commercial centre of the region. Besides the traditional souk, the fortress of Nizwa is also worth a visit. The imposing round tower is the largest tower in Oman. All in all, there is a lot to see in the region, many small sleepy oasis villages hide on the slopes of the Hadjar Mountains.

From the Omani highlands, we continue to the desert today. Along the way, stop at one of the most famous oases of Oman, the Wadi Bani Khalid, where you can explore the cave systems or have a refreshing swim in the crystal clear water pools. After, continue your journey into the Wahiba Desert. Upon your arrival, you are already awaited with literally a camel caravan which is going to take you to your private desert camp. At sunset, you will ride the camels through the seemingly endless dune landscape, where you will reach your bespoke camp shortly after. Under the sparkling starry sky you will have dinner at the campfire and listen to desert tales.

At noon you leave the Dhow and are brought back to Khasab. From here you will be transferred to your hotel for the last nights of your Oman trip.

At first sight you might think that the Six Senses Zighy Bay is a real Omani village. Located in Musandam, the resort was built with local materials in the style of the original villages of the Sultanate. The special environment underlines the authenticity because the resort is located in the Omani exclave of Musandam, north of the rest of the country. This area is characterized by its impressive landscape consisting of fjords, rugged mountains, and beautiful beaches. Enjoy the remaining days in this idyllic location before you start your journey home.
