Dunes of the Wahiba Sands under an orange evening sky

Honeymoon | | Desert, mountains and coast in one trip, with your own driver-guide

A suite overlooking the canyon of Jebel Akhdar, a private dinner in the dunes of the Wahiba Sands, a swim in a turquoise wadi and, at the end, a few days on an empty beach. Oman is safe, hospitable and quiet, and around seven hours from Europe with hardly any jet lag.

We plan every honeymoon privately and to measure: your own driver-guide, hand-picked places to stay and a pace that suits two people who have just got married. Lars and Franziska know every property personally and our local partner is available day and night during the trip.

Why Oman for your honeymoon

Four reasons why couples who choose Oman are glad afterwards that they skipped the familiar beach resort.

  • Romance without the crowds

    No beaches lined with sunbeds and no coaches at the sights. In Oman you share a desert camp with a handful of guests and often have a wadi to yourselves.

  • Variety in a single trip

    Mountains at 2,000 metres, dunes, wadis, forts, souks and more than 3,000 kilometres of coast. You do not have to choose between adventure and relaxation: the trip starts active and ends by the sea.

  • The finest places to stay in the country

    Resorts on the Jebel Akhdar plateau, design hotels on the Muscat coast, restored mud-brick houses in the mountains and a desert camp with a private tent and your own terrace on the dunes. All visited by us personally.

  • Close and carefree

    Around seven hours’ flying, a time difference of two to three hours and visa-free entry for up to 14 days. Before departure we agree every detail; during the trip we and our local partner are always reachable.

Start in Muscat with the Grand Mosque and the souk, head into the mountains for a night on the Jebel Akhdar plateau, sleep under the stars in the Wahiba Sands, swim in Wadi Shab or Wadi Bani Khalid and finish with beach days on the coast near Muscat or in the south near Salalah.

Which honeymoon suits you?

The most popular form: seven to ten days through Muscat, Jebel Akhdar, the Wahiba Sands and the wadis, then three to four days by the sea. Our 10-day or 14-day tour is the starting point, in its luxury edition and at your pace.

For those who want it truly special: 5-star resorts and heritage stays only, a private dinner in the desert, a morning snorkelling at the Daymaniyat Islands and a private walk with a mountain guide. Read more about the luxury Oman tour.

Few days of leave left after the wedding? In a week you see Muscat, the mountains and the desert and still have two days on the beach. Our 7-day tour is the base for that. See also our article on a beach holiday in Oman.

Frequently asked questions about a honeymoon in Oman

Is Oman a good honeymoon destination?

Yes, especially for couples who want more than just a beach. Oman is safe, quiet and hospitable, has remarkable places to stay in the mountains and the desert, and a long coast with empty beaches. You combine adventure and relaxation in one trip of around seven hours’ flying from Europe.

When is the best time for an Oman honeymoon?

October to April: 25 to 30 degrees by day, dry and pleasant in the mountains, the desert and by the sea. If you marry in summer, Salalah in the south is an option: during the khareef (July to September) it is green and around 25 degrees there, although the sea is rough.

How much does an Oman honeymoon cost?

The route pages show guide prices per person for the standard edition, excluding flights. A honeymoon in the luxury edition with 5-star resorts and a driver-guide costs more; how much depends on length, season and the places you stay. You always receive a no-obligation proposal with a transparent price.

Can we combine a tour with beach days?

Yes, that is the form almost all couples choose: seven to ten days touring and then three to four days by the sea near Muscat, on the coast near Tiwi or Sur, or in Salalah. Because the trip is private, you decide the split yourselves.

Do you arrange surprises or extras?

Gladly. Think of a private dinner in the dunes, a room overlooking the canyon, a dhow cruise at sunset or a morning snorkelling at the Daymaniyat Islands. Tell us what you like and we build it into the proposal.

Do I need a visa for Oman?

For a stay of up to 14 days, citizens of the UK, Ireland, the EU and many other countries enter visa-free. For longer stays you apply for an e-visa online in advance. Your passport must be valid for at least six months on arrival. Check the current rules shortly before departure; we help you with that.
