This three-day tour became one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Oman. The itinerary is wonderfully balanced, offering something unique every single day. Wadi Shab amazed us with its turquoise pools and beautiful canyon. The night in Wahiba Sands felt magical — golden dunes at sunset, a sky full of stars, and a cozy desert camp. Wadi Bani Khalid was the perfect place to relax, and the Bimmah Sinkhole was a stunning final stop. If you want to explore the true natural beauty of Oman, enjoy adventure, and feel completely safe — this tour is the perfect choice.
Oman in 3 Days – Group Tour - F

As a couple we had a wonderful time in Oman thanks to Nasser’s in depth knowledge of the country and his warm personality. There was an overview of the main sites in Muscat city, then we saw Quriyat (small coastal fishing village) and the Bimah Sinkhole. Then we will continued along the white Beach of Fins followed by the beautiful Wadi Shab. Sur and Ras Al Hadd were historical whilst the Ras al Jinz reserve allowed us to witness the Turtles in action (hatching, moving to sea). There was also star gazing at the resort hotel. On the second day we explored Wadi Bani Khaled. In this spectacular Wadi we enjoyed the scenery and clear waters to swim in. The Wahiba Desert was magical in its stillness and beauty . We also visited a local Bedouin family and learned about their history and lifestyle. Throughout our trip we were welcomed with Omani hospitality. The desert hotel was unique and also had a great plateau from which to see beautiful scenery. On the third day we explored Nizwa which has a rich history and is known as a trading hub of local goods such as Halwa, daggers and and goats. The Round Tower Fort and Souq were famous. Jabrin Castle was full of history and architectural marvel. We recommend this tour and in particular suggest you ask for Nasser. He really went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, brief us in detail and give an in depth explanation of the country and culture.

What our customers ask about Muscat Tours & Trips
What are the must-visit cultural highlights in Muscat?

As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The guide was knowledgeable and showed us fabulous places also off track. We did eat in interesting local restaurants which had really good food."
What is the best time of year to visit Muscat?
October through March offers the most pleasant weather for exploring Muscat with temperatures between 75-85°F (24-29°C). This period allows comfortable visits to outdoor sites like the Mutrah Corniche and Royal Palace area. Summer months bring intense heat above 100°F (38°C) limiting outdoor activities.

The Mutrah Fish Market opens early offering visitors a look into local food culture. Traditional restaurants like those at Royal Tulip Hotel serve authentic Omani dishes. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We ate in interesting local restaurants which had really good food. The traditional meals were unforgettable."
How many days should I spend in Muscat to see the main attractions?
Plan for 3-4 days to experience Muscat properly. Two days cover the essential sites including Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque Mutrah Souq and Royal Opera House.

A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Our 4-day tour gave us enough time to see everything at a comfortable pace without feeling rushed."
What are the best day trips from Muscat?
Day trips reach Nizwa Fort (1.5 hours away) with its historic souk and fortress Jebel Shams (3 hours) for mountain views and Wadi Shab (2 hours) for outdoor adventures.

A TourRadar traveler shared: "The day trip to Nizwa was a highlight - the fort and souk were fascinating and our guide made the history come alive."

Muscat ranks among the Middle East's safest cities with minimal crime and welcoming residents. Main tourist areas including Mutrah Qurum and the diplomatic district maintain strong security presence.
