Musandam Fjord Cruise
Sail through the stunning fjords of the Musandam Peninsula on a traditional dhow, spotting dolphins playing in the emerald waters framed by towering limestone cliffs.
A land of dramatic fjords, ancient forts, and golden deserts where Arabian heritage meets natural splendor
Oman is the Arabian Peninsula's best-kept secret, a country of staggering natural beauty and authentic cultural experiences untouched by the rapid modernization of its neighbors. From the dramatic fjords of Musandam to the endless golden dunes of the Wahiba Sands, the landscape shifts from rugged mountains to pristine coastline.
The Sultanate has carefully preserved its rich heritage while welcoming visitors with genuine warmth. Magnificent forts and castles dot the landscape, ancient souks overflow with frankincense and silver, and traditional dhow boats still ply the turquoise waters along the coast.
Nature enthusiasts will find paradise here, whether tracking green sea turtles nesting on moonlit beaches, swimming in emerald wadi pools hidden in mountain gorges, spotting dolphins in the Gulf of Oman, or stargazing in some of the darkest skies in the Middle East.

Oman is traditional. Cover shoulders and knees in public. Women should carry a headscarf for mosque visits. Modest dress shows respect and is appreciated by locals.
Gas stations can be sparse in remote areas. Fill your tank whenever you see a station, carry extra water, and share your itinerary with someone before venturing off the main roads.
Omanis are incredibly welcoming. Accept offers of coffee and dates, which are a traditional gesture. Learn a few Arabic greetings to connect with locals on a deeper level.
While major hotels accept cards, carry cash for souks, smaller restaurants, and rural areas. The Omani Rial is a strong currency so you will need less than you might expect.
Flash floods can occur in wadis even when skies are clear overhead. Never camp in a wadi bed, check weather forecasts, and avoid wadis during or after heavy rain in the mountains.
