Tour Highlights
Discover the diverse natural and cultural highlights of northern Oman on this incredible eight-day tour with a private driver-guide.
After exploring the palaces, mosques and museums of Muscat, you'll enjoy a breathtaking drive along Oman's spectacular gulf coast to see the turtle-nesting beaches of Ras Al Jinz. You’ll also discover pretty mountain villages, vast sand dunes, terraced fruit orchards, the 1000-metre-deep Wadi Nakhr Gorge, known as Oman’s 'grand canyon', and the forts and markets around Oman's ancient capital, Nizwa.
Days 1 - 6
5* Jumeirah Muscat Bay
Breakfast & Bed
On arrival at Muscat airport, you’ll be met by our agent and transferred to your chosen hotel in Muscat Bay, set in the stunning Bandar Jissah coastal bay. This is one of the best locations to access a wide range of dive sites in the region, including extended trips to the Damaniyat Islands.
Muscat Region
Muscat, the capital of Oman, is a large coastal city flanked by some truly stunning mountain scenery and beautiful pristine coastline. With daily direct flights from London, and many other European international airports, this region is especially suitable for families who prefer easy travel. Oman is also a very safe, moderate and friendly country, a top consideration for many travelers.
There are broadly three options for a scuba diving holiday in the Muscat region of Oman. Stay close to the Muscat where you will find some beautiful new elegant luxury hotels, both family-friendly properties, and tranquil elegant retreats. Head a little South to the Sifah area for some beautiful scenery and a great value boutique hotel. Head a little North to Mussanah for a great value beach resort and superb watersports.
For the scuba diving, probably the very best diving in the whole of Oman is at the Daymaniyat Islands, just 45 minutes by fast boat from some of the Muscat properties, as well as Mussanah. Whale Sharks can be seen on most dive trips to these islands from September to November!
To get the most out of a visit to Oman we strongly recommend combining your beach stay with a visit to some of the interior of the country, perhaps to one of the luxury mountain retreats, or even to a desert camp. Planet Dive Holidays have a huge amount of experience and knowledge regarding travel and scuba diving in Oman, and have personally checked all of the properties we offer. In the first instance, we would suggest calling and speaking to an Oman luxury travel expert.

Another stop is at a white-sand beach where you can swim and then on to the dense green plantations of Tiwi. As the trip continues, you’ll notice the road winds through mountain terrain and the ancient port town of Sur, to Ras Al Jinz, a sanctuary for green turtles. Have a nice dinner at the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve. There is a short distance to the beach, where you can watch turtles nesting on the sands.
