Day 4
«Вахиба Сэндс – Вади Бани Халид – Сур – Вади Тиви – Курият – Маскат (HB / lunch)
After breakfast at the camp, bid farewell to the desert and set off for the vibrant oasis of Wadi Bani Khalid, nestled between the sands and the surrounding rocky mountains. The turquoise pools, framed by gleaming white cliffs, invite visitors to swim and relax. After a rest in the oasis, the journey continues.
Arrive shortly thereafter in the coastal town of Sur for a brief sightseeing tour. Sur is famed for its traditional dhow-building yards, where wooden boats are still crafted by hand using age-old techniques.
Lunch at Tiwi Sunrise Guesthouse.
After lunch, drive back to Muscat along the scenic coastal road that winds alongside the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Oman. En route, stop to admire the dramatic beauty of Wadi Tiwi and Wadi Shab — emerald-green freshwater valleys tucked between rugged cliffs. These oases, dotted with palm groves and traditional farming villages, are sustained by the ancient falaj irrigation system, still in use today.
Make another stop at the spectacular Bimmah Sinkhole — a natural karst depression 30 meters deep, filled with seawater — and take in the unspoiled beauty of the wild white beaches of Fins.
Arrive in Muscat in the evening.
Overnight at Hilton Garden Inn 4* (or similar).
