Day 1 You head
south east out of Muscat towards Qurriyat, a small fishing village located on
the Arabian Gulf coastline, its name meaning ‘villages’. Here you can view its
three forts. You then head down the eastern coast road to visit the Birmah
sinkhole, a spectacular limestone crater with blue-green water at the bottom,
deep enough to swim in. Moving further down the coast you are able to
explore the twin Wadis of Tiwi and Shab where you can clamber over boulders and
swim in its pools. And then it’s on to Fins beach where your luxury tent is
already pitched. You will enjoy your dinner on the beach before relaxing in
front of your camp fire to the sound of the ocean waves.
Day 2 You leave your camp after breakfast and head to Sur where you have
the opportunity to wander around the Dhow boatyard where the famous boats are
still made today by using traditional methods. You head away from the coast and
into the Sharqiya region, home to the Wahiba sands and Wadi Bani Khalid. You
will relax and swim in this fantastic wadi before driving into the sands to
enjoy an awe inspiring sunset over the sand dunes before heading back to your
Muscat hotel for early evening.
