Oman is a true, modern Arabian paradise, with a little something for every visitor. You’ll love walking the streets of Muscat, taking in its bustling souqs and beautiful architecture like the impressive Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. And, you’ll equally love heading outside the city for tours of its sandy deserts, majestic mountains and stunning beaches.

Honest insights from past guests on our Oman tours

Lisa | Traveled in February

This was a great trip, and I would recommend it. The hotels were all fine, the one night camping less so - very cold and the set-up was VERY basic (a kilometer away from a luxury resort!) - but the night sky in the desert was amazing. The trip notes are not totally accurate/informative though - there is a lot more travelling than they suggest and a lot of it is in 4-wheel drive vehicles over rough ground. If you don't like heights, beware! Be prepared for squat toilets in quite a lot of places :-/ All in all it was a good trip, well managed and very interesting.

Oman was beautiful. The guide Mashal and the driver Jabir were outstanding. Great group of fellow travellers. The hotels were amazing by Explore standards and although the camping night was very basic it was really an essential part of the experience. I highly recommend the trip to people looking for a genuine experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

This was a wonderful trip. Muscat is a beautiful city with some amazing buildings to visit. Outside of the city the scenery is stunning with a beautiful coastline, soaring mountains and endless deserts. Our guide, Mashal, and all our drivers were friendly, helpful and fun.

An excellent but too short tour of this surprisingly beautiful country. Outstanding tour leader Mashal and our three drivers delivered five star service on this varied itinerary. I wish that Explore offered a longer version to include both the south and north parts of this incredibly diverse destination. And I would have liked a few more photo stops but I still give this a solid five stars. One of the best Explore tours I’ve taken.

This was my first trip with Explore. I am very happy with the itinerary the transport, the varied schedule and of course the tour leader Mershel 😀 who was friendly, well informed and always helpful.

A really beautiful adventure

My week in Oman was such a special experience. Having travelled there without much knowledge of the country, I was absolutely blown away with the beauty and adventure it has to offer. This was my first trip with Exodus and I was really impressed with the level of communication in the lead up to the trip. I felt secure and confident with the arrangements and had clarity with the itinerary and instructions throughout. The agenda for the week was jam-packed but it meant that we got to see SO much while we were there. It's not a trip for someone looking to unwind and relax as there is very little time for that, but if you're looking for amazing scenery, interesting experiences and fun memories, then this one is for you!

Oman Tours — Highlights and Travel Tips

As the oldest independent state in the middle east, Oman and its people are incredibly proud of the country's heritage and modern progress. A land of impressive sand dunes, bustling souks and markets, and impressive architecture (including the famous Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque), Oman is an Arabian paradise. Rich in history and natural beauty, Oman is a destination with plenty to offer its visitors.

Tour Highlights

  • Take a dhow (Arabian boat) cruise across the Khor ash Sham (look out for dolphins!)
  • Roam the grounds of Khasab Castle
  • Haggle your way through Old Muttrah Souk in Muscat
  • Go off-road driving in Wadi Bani Khalid, one of Oman's most popular wadis (a ravine that is dry in non-rainy seasons)
  • Experience the unique design of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
  • Take in a show (or simply enjoy the architecture) at the Royal Opera House in Muscat
  • Camp overnight on the South Summit of Jebel Shams

Travel Tips

  • As with many countries in the Middle East, members of the opposite sex are expected to avoid eye contact and touching. Members of the same sex greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks, or on the nose.
  • Whether you're looking to buy anything from spices to gold jewellery, be sure to not miss Oman's incredible souks. Haggling is expected - know what you're willing to pay and get ready to ask for it (you’ll get better with practice).
  • While you may see two men holding hands in public, this is a sign of close friendship in Oman. Homosexuality is illegal in this country.
  • While you should certainly pack your swimsuit to take advantage of Oman's many crystal-clear wadis, you should always dress conservatively outside the water. This means covering your knees and shoulders.
  • Coffee aficionados must try Omani coffee, flavoured with spices in lieu of milk and sugar and often served with dates.
