Islands, Wadis, and Muscat | 3-Days Adventure in Beautiful Oman!

Embark on a thrilling three-day Oman tour package through Muscat, Wadi Ash Shab, Bimmah Sinkhole, and the pristine Daymaniyat Islands. Discover captivating landscapes, cultural treasures, and hidden gems with our expert guides on our exclusive Muscat tours. This immersive tour promises unforgettable memories and awe-inspiring moments.

Fun Facts:

a. Daymaniyat Islands is the best place in the world to swim with turtles (you can swim with up to 20 turtles at the same place). Often referred to as the Maldives of the GCC, it is considered the best place to snorkel in the GCC.

b. Wadi Shab was home to a red bull cliff diving World Series, marking the first time Red Bull ever held a competition in the Middle East. Unlike many wadis that dry up in the summer, Wadi Shab typically maintains a year-round flow, ensuring its beauty in every season. It features a cave, a waterfall, an oasis with plenty of date palms on the way, and river bodies.

c. Bimmah Sinkhole has healing properties according to locals who believe that its water offers therapeutic benefits, attracting visitors seeking a natural spa experience. The sinkhole's crystal-clear turquoise waters make it a popular spot for swimming and snorkeling, earning it the nickname "Hawaiian of Arabia."

d. Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque boasts a main prayer hall featuring a chandelier that weighs approximately 8.5 tons and is adorned with over 600,000 Swarovski crystals. The handwoven carpet in the prayer hall covers an impressive area of 4,343 square meters, making it one of the largest carpets in the world. The mosque has a worshippers' capacity of 20,000, and its construction took six years.
