Sea and Land Experiences combined in a full day adventure.

It all begins in Muscat at the lovely Al Mouj Marina (not far from the airport), where you depart for the Daymaniyat Islands nature reserve to snorkel with sea turtles and fish, among the corals. Enjoy snacks and beverages on-board (and private head).

In the early afternoon we return you to the marina, and you'll drive (or taxi) the 20 minutes to our village at the foothills of the Al Hajar mountains.

You'll begin with a lavish lunch at our home, where you'll dine atop the rooftop terrace, enjoy a homemade Omani & Arabic meal in a stunning setting of mountains and palm groves. After your meal, explore this traditional Omani village in our guided tour, take an easy walk through the scenic Wadi Boucher, and follow an historic Falaj irrigation system. You'll learn all about Omani heritage, village life, and ancient water systems. On your way back to the house you'll stop for tea and dessert under a traditional Arabic tent.
