This is a 6-day, 5-night Oman itinerary.

The route covers Muscat, Bimmah Sinkhole, Wadi Shab, Wahiba Sands and Ras Al Jinz on the eastern coast.

Daily breakfast and one BBQ dinner at the desert camp are included. Other meals are excluded unless specifically added to the booking.

Turtle sightings depend on season, nesting activity and weather conditions; the experience is guided but wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Dune driving can be bumpy and may not suit very young children or guests with certain medical conditions. Families should check suitability with the operator before confirmation.

October to April is generally preferred for city tours, wadi swims and desert excursions because temperatures are more comfortable.
