oman - NEXT BIG ADVENTURE
This October we visit the hidden gem of the Middle East: OMAN.
On this trip, we visit Muscat and the interior regions of Oman with a focus on natural beauty, various forts, turquoise river beds and towering canyons. We also visit a turtle beach where hundreds of turtles come to lay eggs after a 20 year nomadic life. In the souqs, the scent of frankincense mingles with the sparkle of silver and the rhythm of everyday life.
A visit to the high sand dunes in Wahiba sands as well as the Empty Quarter gives us a chance to do dune bashing as well as view millions of stars in a desert camp
The pre-tour visits Salalah, where the desert turns into a lush green landscape with pools and waterfalls. Plus a few UNESCO World Heritage sites
Oman is well connected with International Airports in Muscat and Salalah, making getting there easy.

Registration will close on 31 May. There are only 18 spots available given the shortage of accommodation we are working with in rural areas and which require early confirmation to secure. If there is (much) bigger demand, we will consider creating a waiting list and maybe design a 2nd parallel circuit. So book early to avoid disappointment!
