Detailed itinerary

Your adventure will start in the historical trade town of Sur, once famous for its shipbuilding, fishing, and maritime transport. Explore the town's crumbling buildings, lengthy corniche, and several museums, all reflecting its rich maritime history.

Begin your adventure by passing through a quaint village and surrounding farms, where you might spot some friendly goats. As you approach Wadi Mibam, the landscape transforms into a rugged rocky oasis with date palms and lush green waterfalls, set against the backdrop of the ancient fortified Tiwi village.

The hidden gem has breathtaking crystal green pools and the soothing sounds of nature. Take in the serene beauty of this secret paradise, still growing in popularity despite its incredible beauty.

From Wadi Tiwi, we will make a stop at Fins Beach where we will do a traditional Omani majlis arrangement with coffee, dates and some local delicacies on the white Sands. Enjoy the strikingly white sands, intriguingly pebbly beach, sparkling turquoise water, and soft cool breeze.

Finally, make a stop at the Bimmah Sinkhole, a water-filled depression in the limestone of eastern Oman. Surrounded by a village, the sinkhole was formed by the collapse of the surface layer due to the dissolution of the underlying limestone. Take a refreshing swim in its clear waters before heading back to Muscat.
