Muscat and the Bedouin - OMA0210
Visit Muscat, Sur and the Bedouin of Wahiba Sands
This tour will take you from the beauty and the history of Muscat, through the Hajar mountains to Nizwa and on to the Wahiba Sands. You will visit the mountain village farming communities and spend 2 nights camping in the Desert - the sands are the traditional homes of the nomads and the Bedouin and you will sit with the Bedouin, learn their ways and values while enjoying the Omani coffee and dates and traditional Bedouin fare. You will also take part in traditional activities with them and learn about their contemporary lifestyle.
You will then travel to Sur, where you may experience the green turtles nest on the calm beaches of Ras Al Jinz. You will also visit the Dhow building site in Sur and the fishermen's harbour and then on to meet the fishing people who live in the village and make a living on these seas. You will again spend time with these people with your guide to help you make the most of your time with them.
It is then back to Muscat before returning home from an inspiring and enjoyable trip.
Note:
During the period from the beginning of June to mid September, it can be too hot to camp outdoors and we do not operate these tours during that period. We can offer an amended experience of the area, but this would not involve the key contact with the local people that is at the heart of our experiences. Please contact us if you wish to discuss travelling during this period.
This tour is suitable for all age groups.
