Muscat-Sinkhole-Wadi Shab – Sur- Ras Al Hadd
The morning tour begins in Muscat and takes us to Ras Al Hadd, where our first stop is the Bimmah Sinkhole. Located 600 metres from the sea between Dibab and Bimmah village, it’s a picturesque lake of turquoise waters measuring 50 by 70 metres wide and 20 metres deep. A collapse of the surface layer due to the limestone dissolution caused the sinkhole to form. To protect it, a park has been developed by the nearby municipality. Swimming in the lake is possible.
We journey towards Wadi Shab, a canyon gorge lined with palm trees showcasing the force of water cascading down mountains. The hike up takes approximately 35-40 minutes so good walking shoes are essential. Upon arrival at one of the many crystal-clear pools, tourists can leisurely swim from pool to pool until they reach the last one. Here, an opening among gigantic rocks leads into an awe-inspiring crevice cave with a small waterfall. As sunlight filters in from outside, it bathes the water in intense turquoise blue whilst water showers down from the Wadi beyond.
We continue our journey to Sur where we will take you on a small city tour where we will show you the Dhow Factory and old ship. We will also take you to the old part of Sur where you will see most of the houses with wooden doors and windows.
Afterward, we take you to Ras Al Hadd, where you will check into your hotel/resort and visit Ras Al Jinz, which has a turtle sanctuary. As we walk along the beach at night under the stars, we’ll have a high chance of seeing Omanis great sea turtles building nests and laying eggs. If you’re lucky, you’ll see baby turtles hatching from some of the nests.

In the afternoon, we’ll set off on our journey to explore Wahiba Sands desert.

In the morning we drive to Al Mudhaireb village located in Al Qabil Town, where we walk a bit uphill until we reach the old village ruins. These ruins are quite interesting and you can explore them, but if you keep going uphill you will see one of the many watchtowers of Al Mudhaireb. The view from that watchtower is quite nice, and once you reach the top, you will see half a dozen other watchtowers as well.
Each quarter of the village had its own watchtower to warn residents against attacks from other villages/quarters, and there would have been an old quarter under or near each. After that, we will visit the old ancient village of Ibra, which is about 1000 years old. It is built from mud and limestone; you can walk around the village.
On the way to Nizwa, on the hilltop in the Al Dakhiliyah region of Oman, we will stop at cylindrical tombs that date back to the third millennium BC. They are constructed of mountain rock stacked in the shape of a beehive. Then we will continue our journey to Jabal Al Akdhar , the Green Mountain of Oman. We will arrive there in the afternoon, and you will have free leisure time until you check into the hotel.

They are all sold in authentic old market halls that few places can boast. One of the most interesting cattle markets is on Fridays, when locals from nearby villages sell their cattle and chickens in an open market.
