Beauty of the sultanate 3 Days

Resumen

This three-day trip takes you from Muscat along the coast to Ras Al Hadd, into the Wahiba Sands and on to Nizwa.

On the coast you see the Bamah Sinkhole and the white sandy beach of Fins, and swim from pool to pool in Wadi Shab, one of Oman's most spectacular wadis. At the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Sanctuary, a protected green turtle nesting reserve, you can watch sea turtles nest and lay eggs on the beach. Then swim in Wadi Bani Khaled and spend a night in the desert, with a campfire and dinner.

Nizwa, the capital of the interior and the birthplace of Islam in the Sultanate of Oman, is known for its Round Tower Fort and its souq, and Jabrin, built in the late 17th century, for its painted ceilings and woodcarvings.
