5 night/6 day Oman Tour
After many years of exploring Oman, I have teamed up with Muscat-based Ibex Adventures to deliver an interesting and varied tour of Oman.
The Sultanate is such a beautiful place with friendly people and fantastic things to discover and it has taken me many visits to build and refine this itinerary, so I can share my love of this country with others. Regular readers will have already followed me to many of these places through the pages of OutdoorUAE – now there is a chance to see these sights for yourself!
Open to tourists and expats alike, whether with their own car or through our car hire partners, we will lead you to some amazing off the beaten track sights over approximately 1800kms with 3 nights hotel stay and 2 nights wild camping.
