Uncovering Oman

Arrive by private jet to a Bedouin lunch in secluded private majlis in the historic southern town of Salalah, before an afternoon of snorkeling amongst the coral shelves along the coastline of the Indian Ocean. This beautiful stretch of the Dhofar coastline is host to an array of wildlife including spinner dolphins, green turtles, and coastal bird life including ospreys, pelicans, flamingos and kingfishers. Visit the verdant Wadi Darbat, the ruins of Sumhuram, the ancient trading port of the Queen of Sheba and the charming old port of Mirbat.

 

Overnight is spent in a luxurious secluded camp and dinner is served each evening by your private chef, under the stars and before a crackling fire. Fly on to Muscat and journey towards Wahiba Sands desert, passing traditional villages, old forts and watchtowers, wadis and date plantations, uncovering hidden corners, such as a dramatic and steep sided canyon, occasioned by lush rock pools and ideal for a quick dip. Try your hand at sandboarding, or a little off-road 4×4 driving in the sands.

 

Journey through the landscape of the Mountains of the Moon and Negd desert, arriving in time for to explore the surroundings with a paramotor and absorb the exquisite sunset over dinner, surrounded by the fabled Boswellia Sacra, the Frankincense tree.

 

Spend overnight in a camp deep in the dunes, and speak with local Bedu from the Haraizi tribe, or even ride their camel. The following days can be spent relaxing as hard as you like – abseiling into the Canyon Room of the Seventh Hole for lunch, discovering caves and fossil passages, trekking or mountain biking, before exploring the wadis on the coastal side of the Eastern Hajar, taking a swim in the deep pools and enjoying a seaside picnic.
