The date of departure of 2 December 2025 is ideal for combining with the Constitution Day long weekend, turning a few days off into a Expedition to South Oman 10 days without using too much annual leave: a perfect way to discover authentic Oman!
The Three Faces of Oman in 10 Days
This expedition explores the geographical contrasts that define the sultanate:
- Hajar Mountains and the North Coast: We'll explore Muscat, we'll climb the Djebel Shams – the Hajar summit – to admire Arabia’s Grand Canyon and discover the cultural importance of Nizwa and its popular fort and market.
- The vastness of the desert: We'll live in the desert Wahiba Sands. Full immersion comes in the south, as we enter the overwhelming Rub Al Khali (the Empty Quarter), where we will spend a memorable night at a permanent Bedouin camp, reaching the region by 4×4.
- The Tropic of the South: Dhofar and Incense: The trip culminates in the unique province of Dhofar. Here you will discover the Omani tropics with white sand beaches in Salalah. This region is the land of frankincense; we visit the Wadi Dawka – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and explore the ruins of Sumhuram harbour.
Details of the Expedition
- Special accommodation: We combine comfortable 3/4-star city hotels with quality permanent camps in the desert.
- Transport: We use minibuses for the basic route, but we use 4×4 vehicles for mountain excursions and desert.
- Difficulty: No special physical preparation is needed. Gentle walks include the Balcony Walk on Jebel Shams and wadis with pools to enjoy.
