Oman Desert Adventure

Tour Map of Oman Desert Adventure

Oman is one of Arabia’s true gems - a land of rugged coastlines and vast deserts where tradition and progress go hand in hand. This wonderful adventure takes us from the heart of its picturesque capital, deep into mountains and deserts of the Bedu and the old Omani Imamate. We will take in the breathless landscapes of the Hajar Mountains and the shifting sands of Wahiba, explore the old forts of Jabrin and Nizwa and journey into the vast emptiness of the Rub Al Khali, the Empty Quarter to the ruins of lost city of Ubar. It is a journey of incredible contrasts, following in the footsteps of the pioneering explorers of old and taking in some of the richest natural and cultural highlights that Arabia has to offer.

Arabia - Ancient and Modern

There can be no region of the world where the contrast between ancient and modern is more pronounced and enthralling than Arabia. In scarcely more than half a century, Dubai and Abu Dhabi have undergone an unparalleled transformation from peaceful fishing villages to dynamic, futuristic metropolises - cities that owe little to history and everything to wealth, imagination and breathtaking audacity. Yet in Oman, the Emirates’ neighbour, echoes of the past are inescapable. This is the legendary land of Sindbad and the age-old frankincense trade, of dramatic fortresses and aromatic souqs. Titan’s tour takes in the very best of Arabia, ancient and modern, along with the scenically spectacular but little-visited Musandam Peninsula, the so-called ‘Norway of Arabia’.

Tour Map of essential Oman

Oman is a beautiful and historic land, full of traditional hospitality and unspoilt riches. On the surface it may appear almost inhospitable, yet grand towns and cities have grown amongst the sparse mountains, rich on the harvest of frankincense, and Arab tribes have survived for centuries in the midst of boundless desert. We begin and end in Muscat, Oman’s port capital with a modern palace and grandest of mosques. The days between take you to some of Oman’s traditional villages, set in beautiful ravines, and into the desert on a 4WD adventure to meet Bedouin families - the only permanent residents of this land - and spend a night in a luxury camp under the stars.
