Itinerary
Day 1: MUSCAT-QURIYAT-WADI ARBAYEEN-BIBI MAIRIAM
Stop At: Wahiba Sands, Jalan Bani Buhassan Oman
At 0800 hrs we depart by 4WD vehicles to the Wahiba Sands via the scenic and rugged coastal route. This tour offers breathtaking glimpses of the blue waters of the Gulf of Oman offset by pristine white beaches. We drive past the fishing village of Quriyat. There is a good chance of spotting Flamingos and Eagles at an inland stream. Visit the picturesque Wadi Arbayeen with its deep pools of water set among the date palms. We then proceed to the Bimah Sinkhole, a spectacular limestone crater with blue green water at the bottom. On clear sunny days while driving along the coast one might chance to see sharks in the deep blue waters or fleet-footed Gazelles sprint across the landscape. The Mausoleum of Bibi Miriam at Qalhat stands as a testimony of a bygone era. As we continue from here the road winds through mountain terrain offering breathtaking glimpses of the ocean. We continue our drive on to the Wahiba Sands, a vast mass of undulating red and white sea of sand and dunes rising up to 200 meters, which are, also host to a variety of flora and fauna. The ever-changing patterns of the dunes are a photographer’s delight. Experience a roller coaster like feeling over the dunes.
