Day 1 — Along the Coast to the Endless Sands of Wahiba
Muscat → Wadi Dayqah Dam → Bimmah Sinkhole → Sur → Wahiba Sands
Your adventure begins at approximately 08:00 hrs,
leaving Muscat in comfortable 4×4 vehicles towards the spectacular
eastern coastline of Oman.
As the road winds between rugged mountains and the shimmering
waters of the Gulf of Oman, breathtaking scenery accompanies
you throughout the journey.
Your first highlight is the magnificent
Wadi Dayqah Dam, home to one of the largest
freshwater reservoirs in Oman.
Surrounded by dramatic mountains, the emerald lake creates one
of the country’s most picturesque landscapes. Families may enjoy
optional kayaking or boat activities while relaxing amid this
peaceful natural setting.
Continuing along the coastal road, you arrive at the famous
Bimmah Sinkhole, an impressive natural limestone
crater filled with crystal-clear turquoise water — one of Oman’s
most photographed natural attractions.
The journey continues to the charming maritime city of
Sur, once the country’s most important trading
port and still regarded as the birthplace of traditional Omani
dhow building.
Discover the famous Dhow Factory, where skilled
craftsmen continue building wooden sailing vessels entirely by
hand using techniques passed down through generations.
Visit the picturesque fishing harbour, admire the iconic
Ayjah Watch Tower and Lighthouse, and enjoy a
relaxing 30-minute traditional dhow cruise,
offering beautiful panoramic views of Sur’s historic waterfront
and tranquil lagoon.
Leaving the coast behind, the landscape transforms dramatically
as endless golden dunes rise before you in the legendary
Wahiba Sands.
Prepare for an exciting 4×4 dune-bashing experience,
crossing spectacular rolling dunes that continuously change shape
with the desert winds.
Whether you prefer a gentle family-friendly drive or a more
thrilling adventure, your experienced driver will tailor the
experience according to your preference.
As sunset approaches, another unforgettable experience awaits.
Mounted on gentle Arabian camels, enjoy a peaceful
one-hour camel safari across the dunes.
Watch the desert slowly change from brilliant gold to deep orange
and crimson as the silence of the vast landscape is interrupted
only by the footsteps of the camels.
Arriving at your desert camp, enjoy traditional Omani hospitality,
a delicious dinner and an unforgettable evening beneath millions
of stars in the tranquil heart of the Wahiba Sands.
