What To Expect
Muscat – Bimah Sinkhole – White Sand Beach of Fins – Wadi Shab – Ras al Had
Accommodations
Overnight stay at Ras Al Hadd
Bimmah Sinkhole
We leave Muscat with a drive on the coastal road, a very scenic route perfect for photo opportunities. We stop for a visit at the Bimah Sinkhole for photos and, if you like, a swim in the blue and green water of the sinkhole.
Oman
Soon after we will visit White sands beach of Fins where you will see the gorgeous, vast white sand beaches. From Fins we will continue to Wadi Shab.
Wadi Shab
The Wadi Shab is a huge canyon gorge that has its own paradise. Filled with palm trees and other greenery, the mountain truly has character. Around 35-minute hike up through the wadi, we reach the end where we take a chance to relax and enjoy the nature of Oman. Soon after, the tour continues to Ras al Had.
Ras al Hadd Castle
We will quickly check-in to our hotel/camp and then make our way to the turtle sanctuary in Ras Al Jinz. At this point, the evening sky will take over and we will take a guided tour in the beautiful beach under the stars where we have a good chance of seeing Oman’s great sea turtles making their way onto the beach to build their nests and lay their eggs. If we are lucky, we may see baby turtles hatching from the eggs. Overnight stay in Ras Al Hadd
Ras al Hadd – Sur – Qalhat – Wadi Tiwi
Sur
After a great breakfast, we continue a sightseeing tour in Sur. Sur is one of the most important towns on the northern Omani cape. Something fascinating in Sur is one of the last Omani shipyards. We will take you to see one of the small workshops where Omani traditional boats are still made by hand.
Soon after, we will stop at the 16th Century tomb of Bibi Al Battuta in the second quarter of the 14th century.
Wadi Tiwi
On the way back to Muscat, our tour will stop in Wadi Tiwi. This wadi is especially pretty with some small villages and the large banana plantation. After this visit, we return to Muscat. NOTE: Good Hiking Shoes – We recommend you wear good sturdy hiking shoes like these for the hike to Wadi Shab. Swimwear, you can wear what makes you comfortable. Quick-Dry Towel. A small and lightweight towel like this one is the perfect thing to take to wadi tiwi.

5.00Our tour guide, Mr. Ahmed, made the entire trip truly memorable and worthwhile. Wadi Bani Khalid was a highlight—a serene and relaxing oasis. After exploring the wadi, we headed to the stunning Wahiba Sands desert, where we visited a Bedouin house and enjoyed traditional dates and coffee. The day was unforgettable, especially with the amazing camel ride experience.
