Oman Small Group Tours

One of Oman’s most iconic landmarks, the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is an architectural masterpiece. The mosque boasts a grand prayer hall with a massive Swarovski crystal chandelier, intricate mosaic designs, and the world’s second-largest handwoven carpet, which took 600 weavers four years to complete. Visitors are welcome to explore its serene courtyards, marble corridors, and beautiful gardens. The mosque is open to non-Muslims during specific hours, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in Omani culture and Islamic artistry.

For an authentic Arabian desert experience, Wahiba Sands offers an unforgettable journey into Oman’s vast golden dunes. The landscape constantly shifts with the wind, creating a mesmerizing sea of sand stretching for miles. Visitors can enjoy thrilling dune bashing in 4x4 vehicles, camel trekking at sunset, and traditional Bedouin hospitality at desert camps. Spending a night under the starry sky in a luxurious or traditional desert camp is a highlight for many travelers.

A trip to Oman isn’t complete without visiting Nizwa Fort, a well-preserved 17th-century fortress that once served as the country’s political and military hub. Its massive circular tower provides stunning views of Nizwa’s palm groves and surrounding mountains. Right next to the fort, the Nizwa Souq is a vibrant marketplace where visitors can buy handcrafted silver jewelry, traditional Omani daggers (khanjars), spices, dates, and pottery. On Fridays, the famous cattle market takes place, where locals trade goats, cows, and camels in a lively setting.

A paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers, Wadi Shab is a stunning gorge with turquoise pools, dramatic cliffs, and hidden caves. To reach this hidden gem, visitors take a short boat ride across the river, followed by an easy 45-minute hike through breathtaking rock formations. The highlight of Wadi Shab is a secret waterfall inside a cave, accessible by swimming through a narrow passage. It’s an ideal spot for hiking, swimming, and photography, offering one of Oman’s most scenic natural escapes.

Unlike Oman’s arid deserts, Jebel Akhdar, meaning "Green Mountain," offers cool weather, terraced farms, and stunning mountain scenery. Located in the Al Hajar Mountains, this high-altitude region is famous for its pomegranate orchards, rose gardens, and traditional villages. Visitors can explore ancient settlements like Al Ayn and Al Aqur, where locals produce fragrant rosewater in the spring. The area is also a haven for hikers, with trails leading to dramatic viewpoints overlooking deep canyons.
