One day may not feel long to experience everything Oman has to offer but with some careful planning and clever selections, you can certainly make the most of every minute.
Nizwa – Nizwa is a city brimming with culture and heritage. The souq is known for its silverware and pottery, but it is on Friday’s that the whole region seems to gather here for the weekly animal market. The fort with its large circular tower is visible from afar – and a good landmark to keep looking out for when exploring the old part of Nizwa just behind the souq.
Adventure
Ash Sharqiyah – First, stop in Wadi Bani Khalid for a dip in the fresh aquamarine pools and then head straight to Ash Sharqiyah Sands, which offers a variety of activities for a fun-filled day – desert safaris, camel rides, dune driving, quad biking, sunset watching, camping. The drive offers spectacular views through the surrounding mountains, villages and palm groves.
Family
Muscat – Oman’s capital is very family friendly, with malls having dedicated fun zones and parks with play areas. It is, however, the beach that draws most families, whether it is for a picnic, to swim, a game of beach football, or just to stroll and enjoy the sunset. Water sports activities such jet skiing or banana boat rides are available at Qurum Beach and most beachfront resorts.
