Marhaba! Welcome to Muscat!

Upon arrival at Muscat airport, you will be met by our Primeclass Lounge colleagues, who will take care of your immigration entry procedures while you recover from your flight. Your personal chauffeur will bring you to the Kempinski Hotel, where you will spend the next two nights. The recently opened 5-star hotel is located in the modern district of Al Mouj, directly on the beach and its mixture of Omani tradition and European elegance will enchant you.

The first stop is in Barka, a small coastal town famous for its lively fish market, Halwa dumplings and bullfights. Shortly after, you will reach Nakhl, a picturesque city on the edge of the western Hadjar Mountains. Here you will visit the 350-year-old castle next to the hot springs. Enjoy the adventurous off-road ride through Wadi Bani Awf, one of the country’s most stunning wadis. The path takes you on a 2,000 meter journey, past lush green date palms, deep canyons and breathtaking views. Amidst the rugged mountains, discover Bilad Sayt, one of the small secluded villages that has maintained its traditional charm. In the afternoon you will arrive at the „Green Mountain“ of Oman and the fantastic Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Hotel, situated at an altitude of over 2,000 meters above sea level. From here you can make wonderful day trips into the spectacularly scenic surroundings.

Before you start this day in the desert, you can visit some of the charming villages along the way. It is worthwhile to explore the mountain village of Birkat Al Mauz, where you can find the famous Falaj water channels. You can also make a stop in Mudayrib, a village that offers a special glimpse into authentic local life. It is worth seeing the lively market square with its historic houses. You will then visit Wadi Bani Khalid, one of the most alluring and famous wadis in the country. You will have time to refresh yourself in the inviting pristine pools and go for small hikes in the area as well.

Allow yourself to be amazed by a ride through the breathtaking dunes of the Wahiba Sands Desert. The changing color of the sand throughout the day is a particularly magnificent sight. As the afternoon turns to evening the sand becomes a stunning shade close to red while in the morning it appears to be white. In the end of your journey through the dunes, be ready for the next adventure – an impressive sunset camel ride to your private camp for the night. The luxury tents will be set up exclusively for you in the Wahiba Sands desert, approximately 40 kilometers far from the main trail. Enjoy this scene of absolute serenity far away from civilization in a beautiful natural atmosphere!

Take your time with brunch this morning, and perhaps pick  up any last minute souvenirs in the Oman airport before being sent to the airport for your international departure.
