Introdution

This holiday takes in the best that the country has to offer. Flying into the port capital Muscat, we will visit the old waterfront Muttrah quarter, which boasts a labyrinth of souks with ample opportunities to take note, sketches or photos as a reference of everyday life in this colourful town.
Later we will make our way up the North coast past Barka and Al Masnaah, seeing rich culture and wildlife, before cutting South across the mountains to visit some highland villages with dramatic views. We’ll explore the the empty quarter, the largest continuous sand desert in the world, and see turtles hatching on the beaches of the long coastlines of the Gulf.
