A special week

A beautiful country.

Week in Oman

A good overview of a small part of Oman, a country that deserves a longer exploration of its history and geography.

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

A really enjoyable trip though it would have been good to have had a few extra nights. Fantastic scenery, a varied mix of locations, and accommodation was good throughout.
