Hotels
Oman’s rugged and wild interior offers some of the most dramatic panoramas in the Arabian Peninsula, along with spectacular opportunities for exploring the country on foot. Showcasing some of the finest scenery in the Sultanate, the Walking in Oman holiday is a private tour featuring a series of highly scenic guided short walks that are graded between easy and moderate in terms of difficulty. Set off on an aquatic hike through the lovely palm-lined canyon of Wadi Shab; explore the lower reaches of Wadi Bani Khalid with its natural pools and small waterfalls; strike out on a self-guided sunset hike amongst stunning dunes of the Wahiba Sands; sample village life on a heritage walk through the oases and fields between the ancient settlements of Al Hamra and Misfat Al Abryeen; hike along the rim of the 1000m deep Wadi Nakhr gorge – the ‘Grand Canyon’ of Oman; and explore the Jebel Akhdar, a veritable mini Garden of Eden featuring brilliant ‘hidden’ pockets of green, picturesque villages clinging to cliff tops, richly terraced fields with pomegranates, apricots, and bubbling springs. Combined with these wonderful experiences on the Waking in Oman holiday are visits to fairytale forts, vibrant markets, stunning deserts, and the opportunity to relax in style on the shores of the Gulf of Oman.
