Sally Walters, our Oman specialist, has travelled extensively through the country. First visiting in 2005 to see the classic sites of Muscat, Wahiba, Nizwa, and the Jebal Akdhar. On a return visit she ventured further afield to Musandam in the North with its ‘Arabian Fjords’ and to the southern region of Dhofar, with some time spent in the Empty Quarter. She will often talk with great affection of the people she met from the guide who set up camp under the desert stars, to the welcoming spa therapist at the Chedi Muscat!

Oman is the perfect introduction to the Middle East, with great hotels in Muscat and now some luxury camping options in the desert and smaller hotels dotted around, it offers a relaxed and comfortable holiday. With an immaculate driver/guide and an even more immaculate vehicle (fines are awarded to those with dirty cars), you’ll be driven to Nizwa to visit its UNESCO fort and ancient souq, onto Wahiba to experience the thrills of this sand sea and then to the coast. Here stay up late to watch the Green turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. However there is still something for the adventurous; camp in the Empty Quarter, stay at the Onyx sanctuary or sleep on deck of a private dhow, all offer a wonderful insight to this friendly nation.

Uncomplicated, Oman holidays have remained a firm favourite of our clients for many years.
