Day 2: City Tour of Muscat 
After breakfast, we begin with a city tour of Muscat, the Capital of the Sultanate of Oman since 1793 and an important port town. Lovely Muscat has attracted foreign tradesmen and settlers throughout the centuries. Today, its picturesque setting between the Gulf of Oman and the Western Al Hajar Mountains lures visitors to its golden beaches and fascinating vestiges of ancient culture. The city sightseeing tour includes visits to the SULTAN QABOOS GRAND MOSQUE, an architectural gem built from 300,000 tons of Indian sandstone and home to a handmade Persian carpet, that is reportedly the second-largest in the world. Also visit the AMOUAGE PERFUME FACTORY, where luxury fragrances are produced. Continue to the MUTTRAH SOUK, a traditional market where you can still purchase things like frankincense, silver jewelry, and Bedouin crafts. Visit the BAIT AL ZUBAIR MUSEUM, housing the finest privately-owned collection of Omani artifacts. Also stop to take photos outside the Sultan’s Palace, with its blue and gold mushroom pillars. Back to your hotel for overnight.
Day 3: Muscat – Sur – Wadi Bani Khalid – Wahiba Sands 
Meander along the coastal road this morning, stopping at the BIMMAH SINKHOLE, which legend says was created when a piece of the moon fell from the sky. Enjoy a swim in its clear, blue waters before heading towards Sur to visit FISHERMEN’S HARBOUR and the DHOW BUILDING YARD, where traditional Omani wooden fishing boats are crafted by hand. You’ll see a radical change of scenery as we head inland to WADI BANI KHALID, a peaceful valley known for its natural beauty, abundant vegetation, and intriguing caves. Take a quick dip in one of the deep pools before continuing on to the WAHIBA SANDS, a large desert noted for its wide array of flora, fauna, migratory birds, and Bedouins, who gather here each summer to pick dates in the oasis. Spend the night in a TENTED CAMP for a true taste of life in the desert.
Day 4: Wahiba Sands – Birkat Al-Mawz – Al Hamra – Nizwa 
This morning, get a better understanding of the Bedouin lifestyle as you visit one of the region’s many settlements. Head towards the mountains for a photo stop at BIRKAT AL-MAWZ, with its palm groves and terraced rose orchards, then Al Hamra, home to some of the oldest preserved houses in the country and boasting stunning panoramic views. Also on the agenda is JABREEN FORT, built in 1670 as a defensive stronghold and considered one of the most impressive forts in the Sultanate. Finally, reach Nizwa, capital of Oman in the 6th and 7th centuries and one of the oldest cities in Oman. Overnight at your hotel.
Day 5: Nizwa – Ibri – Al Ain, United Arab Emirates 
This morning leave Nizwa, visiting en route the NIZWA SOUK, where you can haggle for a great price on spices, silver, pottery, and more. Continue your drive to Ibri. Then, say goodbye to your Oman guide and driver, cross the border into the United Arab Emirates, and meet your guide and driver for the Emirates part of the journey. Reach the “Garden City” of Al Ain, a charming desert oasis that was originally a stop on the caravan trail. Today, it is a university city, center of agriculture, and the second-largest city in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The city sightseeing tour includes visits to the HILI ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK, the largest Bronze Age complex in the country, and the SHEIKH ZAYED PALACE MUSEUM. Set around courtyards and lofty palms, this beautiful cinnamon-colored palace was built in 1937 for the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Also enjoy a swim in the thermal waters at the GREEN MUBAZZARAH HOT SPRING. Overnight at hotel.
