Description

Embark on an action-packed full-day adventure from Muscat, exploring two of Oman’s most remarkable destinations: the tranquil Wadi Bani Khalid and the mesmerizing Wahiba Sands. This tour blends relaxation, cultural immersion, and adventure for an unforgettable experience. Begin your journey at Wadi Bani Khalid, a scenic oasis surrounded by dramatic cliffs and lush palm trees. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the clear, turquoise pools, take a leisurely walk along the picturesque trails, or simply relax by the water. Modest swimwear is required—men should wear shorts and a t-shirt, and women a swimsuit covered with shorts and a t-shirt. Be sure to capture stunning photos of this serene natural wonder! After your time at the wadi, enjoy a delicious lunch at a nearby local restaurant, where you can savor a variety of flavors and experience authentic Omani hospitality. Next, continue to the awe-inspiring Wahiba Sands, a sea of golden dunes stretching endlessly into the horizon. Begin your desert adventure with an optional sandboarding experience, gliding down the dunes for a rush of excitement. Visit a traditional Bedouin home, learn about the nomadic lifestyle, and enjoy a warm cup of Omani coffee or tea. Conclude your visit with a scenic photo stop amidst the dramatic desert landscape. Please note: This tour does not include a sunset experience unless you choose the optional sunset add-on, which allows you to witness the magical hues of the setting sun over the dunes before returning to Muscat. This full-day tour offers the perfect opportunity to discover Oman’s natural beauty, cultural traditions, and thrilling activities all in one incredible day.
