Muscat-Ibra-Wadi Bani Khalid-Wahiba Sands

Ibra - Departing from Muscat, the journey heads towards Ibra, where the ancient part of the town, approximately 1000 years old, awaits exploration. Constructed from mud and limestone, visitors can stroll through the village, which is still partially inhabited.

Wadi Bani Khalid - Continuing from Ibra, the trip proceeds to Wadi Bani Khalid, one of Oman’s largest and most stunning wadis. Upon arrival, a brief 10-minute walk (walking shoes recommended) leads to sparkling, clear blue water pools, 9 meters deep, ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the picturesque Wadi Canyon.

Wahiba Sands - In the afternoon, the adventure moves to the desert, Wahiba Sands. This magnificent desert spans 12,500 square kilometers and is also known as Al Sharqiya Sands, previously “The Wahiba Sands.” Named after the Bani Wahiba tribe, it stretches 180 km north to south and 80 km east to west. Visitors can relax at the camp or embark on an exciting 4x4 drive across the sand dunes, culminating in a breathtaking sunset view from a large dune, followed by dinner at the camp.

Wahiba Sands-Sur-Wadi Shab-Fins Beach-Bimmah Sinkhole-Muscat

Sur - After breakfast at the camp, the journey leaves the desert for Sur. A brief city tour includes the renowned Omani Dhow Factory, where traditional wooden dhows are crafted, and a visit to the old part of Sur, featuring houses with wooden doors and windows.

Wadi Shab - The trip continues to Wadi Shab, a vast canyon gorge lined with palm trees, showcasing the natural power of mountain waters. A 45-minute hike through the canyon (walking shoes recommended) leads to crystal-clear water pools. Visitors can swim through the warm waters, eventually reaching a final pool with an opening among large rocks, leading to a stunning crevice cave with a small waterfall. Sunlight filters in, turning the water a beautiful turquoise blue.

Fins - From Wadi Shab, a stop at Fins Beach, also known as White Sands Beach, reveals a panorama of striking white sands and a pebbly beach, with sparkling turquoise waters and a gentle breeze.

Bimmah Sinkhole - The journey then pauses at Bimmah Sinkhole, where swimming is possible. This water-filled depression in the limestone of eastern Muscat Governorate features a turquoise lake, 50 m by 70 m wide and approximately 20 m deep, located 600 m from the sea, between Dibab and Bimmah village. Formed by the collapse of the surface layer due to limestone dissolution, the local municipality has developed a park to preserve it. From the sinkhole, the trip returns to Muscat.
