Trips

A guided night walk through Misfat Al Abriyeen under a full moon: silver terraces, running falaj and the quiet of the mountains.

About five hours of swimming, scrambling, jumping and abseiling through Snake Canyon in Wadi Bani Awf, with a certified guide and all safety gear.

A guided hike on the famous ledge path along Oman’s Grand Canyon to the deserted hamlet of Sab Bani Khamis, and back.

Four days by 4x4: Nakhal Fort and Wadi Bani Awf, a night on Jabal Shams, Jabreen, Bahla and Nizwa, then Wadi Bani Khalid, the Wahiba Sands and the coast road back to Muscat.

A gentle two-hour bike ride through Al Hamra: a viewpoint, the old mud-brick town, terraced fields and the new town.

Three hours at sea off Muscat looking for spinner, bottlenose and common dolphins. Shared transfers, water and light refreshments included.

A demanding high-level hike beside the Grand Canyon to the summit ridge of Jabal Shams, at close to 3,000 metres.

Three hours: a traditional wooden dhow along the Muscat coast at sunset, past Al Alam Palace and the old forts. Shared transfers and refreshments included.

A full-day ridge walk at Sharfat Al Alamayn above Wadi Bani Awf, past an old water store and shepherds’ flocks to the viewpoint of Ras Al Haraq.

An evening cruise into the fjords of Musandam, dinner on board and a night at anchor in a quiet bay, back in Khasab by 08:30.
