Tea, coffee and fruits. I will just tell you this: trust me on this one. Though the road to get there was long, Salalah was probably my favorite place in Oman. After a trip in the desert, you arrive in a completely unexpected green haven. Full of waterfalls, breathtaking forests and rivers, it almost looks like paradise on earth. The best place to experience this is definitely Wadi Darbat, the most beautiful and scenic spot in Salalah. Other places of interest close to the city include Khor Rori (a small fortified town built almost 2000 years ago), Taqa and Al Mughsayl (beautiful beaches with blue water, white sand and palm trees). After two days in Salalah, it will already be time to head back to Muscat. Since the road to get there will be, once again, extremely long (unless you fly to the capital, which is another option), I advise you to stop at the Pink Lagoon. Located in the central region of the country, this lagoon is an amalgamation of salt water pools. Given the nature of the soil’s pink colour, the pond’s water looks pink - hence the name. Along the coast of central Oman, you’ll also find various areas of salt flats, the most famous being the Barr Al Hikman. I didn’t get to make these stops myself but I surely regret it. It would have been a nice break on the way to Muscat. Don’t head back directly to Muscat - make the most of this road-trip by spending a night (and the following day) in the desert! The Sharqiya Sands (formerly known as Wahiba Sands, or Ramlat al-Wahiba), is a famous region of Oman. Inhabited by Bedouins, this is the perfect place to learn more about their nomadic way of life. Take advantage of your stay there to also shop some local crafts such as the Omani key rings and camel bags, usually handmade by Bedouin women. Once you’re back in Muscat, you’ll have the opportunity to take a few day trips. I highly recommend spending a day in Nizwa and Falaj Al Khatmeen. Nizwa was the former capital of Oman and it is one of the oldest cities in the country. It was once a major center of trade, religion, education and art. While you’re there, make sure to visit the local market, the grand mosque and its fort. And also buy some dates at the souk; Nizwa is famous for them! Not far from the city lies the little-known Falaj Al Khatmeen. The Aflaj Irrigation Systems of Oman represent a type of irrigation system as old as 5000 years in the region. "Aflaj" is the plural of "Falaj", which means "split into parts" in classical Arabic. This irrigation system efficiently divided the water among all the inhabitants. Falaj Al-Khatmeen was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites about ten years ago and really deserves a stop, though it’s a bit off the beaten track. Another day trip from Muscat will lead you to the country’s mountains. Jabal Al Akhdar, which literally means "Green Mountain" is one of Oman’s most spectacular areas. The highest point, Jabal Al Shams ("Mountain of the Sun"), is around 3,000 meters high. This mostly limestone mountain is the highest point in Oman and the whole of eastern Arabia. A day excursion to this mountain is also a must, ideal for trekking and perfect spot for a picnic. On your way there from Muscat, you can make a stop at Fanja. Just 25km outside the city, this is the first town in the Al Dakhiliyah region.youtube.com I was lucky to be there for the Eid celebrations (one of the most important days of the year for Muslims around the world) and I got to experience the best of the Omani folklore and traditions. We walked between forts and palm trees to reach a hill overlooking the town. There, hundreds of men in traditional costumes were singing, dancing and firing canons. Needless to say this is the kind of unexpected travel experience you’ll never forget! By the time you’re back in Muscat, you’ll realize you only have a few days left in beautiful Oman. And you’d be missing out on a great experience in this country if you didn’t take time for a little dive before you leave. Daymaniyat Islands are one of Oman’s premier dive spots. Virtually everyone who goes there does so to dive. They consist of nine low, rocky little islets surrounded by coral reefs. The underwater scenery there is known to be amazing. However, the islands are protected as a nature reserve and therefore, access is restricted. You are not allowed to land on them from the beginning of May until the end of October and the rest of the year, you’ll require a permit (4 OR/day). The Musandam Peninsula is known as the ‘Norway of Arabia’ with ‘fjords’ and dramatic pink-hued cliffs dropping vertically into the sea. This is one of the region’s most pristine natural wildernesses, boasting a magically unspoilt marine environment, including pods of frolicking humpback dolphins and the occasional basking shark. Who wouldn’t want to see that? After two weeks of intense traveling, it will already be time to leave the country. In the space of just fifteen days, you’ll have experienced the best of what Oman has to offer: great diving spots, sand dunes and mountains, little towns and big cities, urban settings and green havens. In the meantime, you’ll have certainly witnessed the legendary Omani hospitality and learned more about the country’s culture and history. Oman was a memorable trip for me. I hope this itinerary will make you want to try this experience! Visa: Visitors to Oman must obtain a visa prior to travel unless they come from one of the visa exempt countries or one of the countries whose citizens are eligible for visa on arrival. There are more than 60 nationalities that can actually get a visa on arrival so your chances are pretty high. To see if you come from one of these lucky countries, make sure to check out this list. Transportation: My advice would be to rent a car for your time in Oman, as you’ll mostly travel around. The places I mentioned in the itinerary cover the whole country so you’ll certainly make use of it. Roads are quite safe and drivers not too crazy, so you shouldn’t get in an accident during your stay! Also - and this is important information - you’ll need a 4×4 if you head to the mountains. Other options to move around are to fly (i.e from Muscat to Salalah or Muscat to Musandam) or to take the bus, but that would not be my first choice. Accommodation: Camping is allowed and free of charge in the ENTIRE country, as long as you’re not on a private property. So my best advice is: bring a tent and sleeping bag with you.youtube.com You’ll be able to wake-up to beautiful landscapes every day! Another option I tried when I was there was couchsurfing, and it worked well for me. I got to meet great people who reminded me of the true meaning of hospitality. Oman's Musandam Peninsula, about 194 kilometers from Dubai, is the perfect peaceful antidote to Dubai's bright lights and big city buzz. This jagged region is incredibly scenic, with its tall, mountainous coast plunging steeply into the sea of the Arabian Gulf. Due to its similarity in character to the fjords of Norway, it's often nicknamed the Arabian Fjords, but these mountains in actuality were carved by tectonic plate movement and not by glacier movement. The best way to experience the scenery here is by a dhow cruise from the Omani town of Khasab. There is a strong possibility of seeing dolphins along the way, and many cruises make a stop off at Telegraph Island, which was once used as a telegraph station by the British for their London to Karachi cable line. The inlets in this area are particularly spectacular, and those interested in history can still see the ruins of the very lonely station where the telegraph operators used to live and work. The Musandam Dhow Cruise Day Trip from Dubai takes the hassle out of organizing your own [https://musandamtourpackages.com/khasab-musandam-dhow-cruise/ Khasab dhow cruise]. On this trip, you get a six-hour scenic dhow cruise departing from Khasab, including a stop near Telegraph Island for swimming, snorkeling, and an included lunch. All transport from Dubai, with pickup and drop-off from your hotel, a local guide, and unlimited cold soft drinks, coffee, and tea are also included. Embrace the splendid beauty of the Musandam Fjords during this relaxing, full-day cruise via dhow-boat. Depart the pier for the approximately one-hour drive along the new highway, Emirates Road, en route to Dibba. Along the way, take in panoramic vistas of beautiful golden sands and the picturesque Hajar Mountains in the distance. Upon arrival in the small village of Dibba, embark the Omani dhow for a scenic and relaxing cruise along the Musandam Fjords. Arabic tea or coffee offered is served as you pass by white and salty mountains, beautiful caves, the deserted Haffa village and beaches of Ziggy. Next, your captain selects a suitable area for you to swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Snorkelling equipment is provided for those who wish to take a closer look at this beautiful underwater realm. Following your swimming and snorkelling session, a traditional, Arabian-style lunch is served. After lunch, some additional time is made available for swimming, snorkelling or sunbathing. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins during your cruise.youtube.com At the conclusion of your dhow cruise, return to the pier in Dibba and re-board your coach for the drive back to the ship.youtube.com Please note: This tour involves an extensive amount of activity, and is recommended for guests in good physical condition.
