The jewel of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman retains all its rich, Bedouin heritage – and an even richer landscape. Showcasing ancient forts and jagged mountains, to miles of sun-baked coastline on the Arabian Sea, Oman tours have much to offer intrepid travellers. With historical sites and miles of radiant beaches and dunes, it’s little surprise that this place is becoming a fast favourite for travel-lovers everywhere.
A tour of Oman is an opportunity to explore a land with incredible biodiversity and intrigue. Most tours kick off in the capital city of Muscat, which is the perfect place to be introduced to the abundant Omani culture. You can then discover the country’s dramatic peaks, rolling dunes, and time-stamped landmarks. Even travelling just a short distance might make you feel like you’re on a different continent. And, if you visit during the monsoon season, parts of the Omani desert transform into waterfalls, hollows and swimming spots, making it a unique choice for a tranquil, Middle Eastern getaway.
Your Oman tour can be tailored to suit you. Perhaps you’d prefer the freedom of an independent tour, where you can travel at your own pace? Or maybe you’d like to be accompanied by a knowledgeable guide on an escorted tour? Whatever you’re planning, our Oman itineraries have got you covered. We can even arrange your accommodation and transport for you, so all you need to do is soak up every second of this very special holiday.
Most of our Oman tours begin in the fascinating city of Muscat, which gives you a snapshot of the country’s Arabian charm and ancient past. With dramatic mountains on one side and the aquamarine Gulf of Oman on the other, this place is a truly stunning city, where you’re sure to receive a warm, Omani welcome.
The best way to get a feel for the city is to immerse yourself in the winding streets, which are crammed with must-see sights. Muscat was once a crucial port in the transport of gold, silk and spices, and its grandeur can be seen in the towering gates and colourful façades. Look out for the Qasr Al Alam Royal Palace, in particular — one of the Sultanate’s most opulent structures. But no landmark in Muscat is as bold as the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, which has the distinction of being the third-largest mosque in the world.
History buffs will love Oman’s plethora of forts, created centuries ago to defend the country from invaders and provide a haven for communities. More than 500 forts are positioned across Oman, and almost every modern-era town in the country retains its own fort.
Travelling further inland brings you to Oman’s greatest fort at Bahla. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-visit. About 12 kilometres of ruined adobe walls surround the town, sheltering an oasis, souk and palm grove.
Nature-lovers will adore the varied flora and fauna of Oman. You can see green turtles come ashore during the warmer months to lay their eggs in Ras Al Hadd, or go dolphin-watching off the Omani coast. And you can explore the fish-filled coral reef, which is perfect for diving and snorkelling.
Another unmissable feature of the Sultanate landscape has got to be the Wahiba Sands. With ochre-coloured dunes that reach more than 200 metres in height, there’s no better place to go dune hopping. Venture here by 4x4 or on camelback and witness the sunrise or sunset in all its splendour.
Oman is truly the oasis of the Middle East, where desert and greenery blend seamlessly. Our Oman tours often include a trip to Wadi Bani Khalid – a welcomed refuge of desert sands, rocky formations and shimmering streams.
And when the temperatures are rising, there’s no better place to take a dip than Bimmah sinkhole. This limestone hollow reaches 20 metres in depth, and the waters shimmer in emerald and cobalt hues.
Oman’s sugary beaches are reason enough to visit this mystical land. The unbroken coastline showcases pristine sands and glorious scenery.
At Travelbag, your Oman itinerary is sure to include some all-important downtime at the beach – so, after an action-packed few days, you can sink your toes into the sand and relax by the Arabian Sea. And with a 2,000-kilometre shoreline, you’ll have no trouble finding your own private stretch of beach to enjoy the gorgeous Middle Eastern climate.
