A perfect introduction to the splendours of Oman, this eight-night tour ticks off this intriguing Middle Eastern country's cultural, historical and scenic highlights. From Muscat's piquant souks and opulent grand mosque, you'll venture into the rolling, rust-red dunes of Wahiba Sands to meet with a local Bedouin family and traverse the desert with a dune bashing adventure. From here, you'll head to Oman's dramatic coastline and the city of Sur, once a pivotal hub in Oman's powerful maritime heritage. Your Omani adventure concludes back in the capital at The Chedi Muscat, a 5-star luxury resort located on the glittering shores of the Arabian Gulf.
