Destinations in Oman
Oman is compact, but the contrasts are vast: an oasis town with a fort, a canyon a kilometre deep, dunes to the horizon. For each place you will find what it is, when to go, how long to stay and which tour includes it.
MuscatCapital on the Gulf of Oman · 30 minutes from the airportWhite low-rise between rock and sea, a mosque for twenty thousand and a souk that smells of frankincense. Two to three nights at the start and end of your trip.
NizwaOasis town in the interior · 1.5 hours' drive from MuscatFort, souk and date-palm oasis at the foot of the mountains. The natural stop between Muscat and the high mountains, and two nights is just right.

Jebel ShamsHigh mountains in the Hajar · 3 hours' drive from MuscatA canyon a kilometre deep, a path along its rim and stars and silence at night. The mountain section of almost every tour.
Wahiba SandsSand desert in the east · 2 hours' drive from MuscatDunes up to a hundred metres high, a campfire and a sky with no light pollution. One night is enough to understand why everyone talks about it.
