At its heart is old Muscat, a walled city with a natural harbour watched over by the twin fortress of Jalali and Mirani, where the Sultan has his palace. Nearby, the historic commercial district of Muttrah spreads along the shore of a wide bay.
Nizwa
Isolated by the Hajar Mountains from the coast and the outside influences brought to the coastal cities through trade and conquest, Nizwa developed as a bastion of conversation.
The Wahiba Sands
In Oman’s Wahiba Sands, you can watch the sun set from on top of a towering dune, enjoy dinner under the stars beside a traditional Bedouin-style camp, take a camel ride or watch the sunset from the top of a dune.
Ras Al Jinz
Reached from the Wahiba Sands via the stunning water pools and shady canyon of Wadi Bani Khalid, Was Al Jinz is a small sandy bay where greenback turtles come ashore to nest all year round.
