DAY 2 – MUSCAT
Your first stop is the Royal Opera House, the leading arts and culture organization in Oman.

Then visit the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. Built by the Sultan for the 25th anniversary of his accession, it is the 5th largest mosque in the world. The mosque is an architectural masterpiece and houses some outstanding works of art.

Continue to Al Alam Palace, where the sultan receives state guests. The palace is flanked by two 16th-century, Portugese fortresses, Al Jalali and Al Mirani.

Then visit Bait Al Zubair museum, which celebrates the culture and heritage of Oman with extensive permanent collections as well as special visiting exhibits.

Next, we’ll take a break in an area where you can sit and walk around and select your restaurant for lunch.

After lunch, continue along the corniche to Muttrah Souk, the oldest and largest market in Oman. You will have time to explore the picturesque, narrow alleys, where the air is filled with the scent of frankincense and sandalwood. Shop for Omani souvenirs such as pottery, paintings, shisha pipes, framed khanjars, leatherwork and incense.

DAY 3 – MUSCAT

We’ll pass Bilad Sayt, a small mountain village, as we make a thrilling drive back to Muscat through the Wadi Bani Awf.

DAY 4 – SALALAH
Enter the dune landscape of the Sharqiyah region and visit the old city of Ibra. On Wednesday mornings, the women’s souk is held here, the only market in Oman where merchants and clients are all women. Men are “banned” from the scene and meet at a nearby coffee shop to enjoy a chat.

Continue to Al Minzafah, one of the Sultan’s favorite villages, with good examples of the old architectural style. The houses are close to 300 years old and are said to be the oldest in the country.

In the Wahiba Desert, visit a Bedouin family, where you are invited for tea and dates and a camel ride.

Enjoy the drive through the changing shapes and colors of the dunes, from white in the morning to ocher, almost red in the afternoon. Lunch en route.

Then drive to the Muscat airport for your flight to Salalah. Upon arrival in Salalah, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for overnight.

Drive along a scenic road to Taqa. In former times, incense and horses were exported from its harbor, which was guarded by the Qasbar Fort at the top of the cliff. Visit the 19th-century Taqa castle.

Before proceeding to Sumhuram, we will stop on top of the hill for a stunning view over the village and the Indian Ocean.

On the cliff above Khawr Rawri, the Dhofar region's largest bay, see the ruins of the fortress and palace of Sumhuram, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and possibly the home of the Queen of Sheba. The Sumhuram port was an important center for the trade of frankincense,
