Tour Highlights

With easy direct flights between Oman and the Maldives, Oman offers a unique blend of rich culture, which perfectly complements the Maldives' luxury dive resort. A little-known fact is that Oman almost guarantees Whale shark sightings in September and October!

Days 1 - 8

4* Boutique Beach

The tour can start either way around, but in this sample itinerary, we will start with The Maldives. We can use a Dive Resort or Liveaboard (or both). For this tour, we have used one of our best-selling dive-focused island resorts for a one-week stay.

Maldives

Planet Dive specialise in luxury diving holidays to the Maldives. With over 160 resorts to choose from in the Maldives, it can be very difficult to understand which is the best island for your specific holiday requirements and budget. We offer carefully selected resorts, that we have personally inspected, and offer the best quality and value for money in their class.

We can suggest specific islands depending on the type of Maldives holiday you are after, be that hotels with excellent kids clubs and activities for families, with a good range of diving sites close to the resort so are never away for too long, or romantic holiday experiences for couples and honeymooners. For the pure dive enthusiast, we can suggest a resort in the best location for the time you are travelling with the best diving facilities.  

Our Maldives dive holiday experts are also on hand to assist you with booking the best scuba diving liveaboards. A dive liveaboard will always give you access to the best dive sites, however with a wide variety of diving vessels to choose from in the Maldives, we always recommend you speak to a Maldives dive expert to find the best diving holiday for you.

Days 8 - 12

5* Jumeirah Muscat Bay

Breakfast

A 4-hour flight will take you from Male in the Maldives to Muscat in Oman. We will start with 3 nights in a beach resort, giving you access to the best dive sites in Oman

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.  

Days 12 - 14

4* Canvas Club

Full Board

From your beach resort, it is 4 hours in a 4x4 to the Wahiba Sands desert for a unique two-night adventure.

Wahiba Sands

Wahiba Sands, also known as Sharqiya Sands, is a vast expanse of golden desert in Oman, celebrated for its breathtaking beauty and unique natural environment. Spanning over 12,000 square kilometers, the landscape is characterized by rolling dunes that shift in color from deep orange to pale gold under the changing light of the sun. These towering dunes, some reaching heights of over 100 meters, are shaped by the winds and create an ever-changing spectacle of natural artistry.

The area is not just a visual marvel; it also harbors a surprisingly rich ecosystem. Despite the arid conditions, the desert is home to a variety of flora and fauna, as well as nomadic Bedouin tribes who have adapted to its harsh environment. Visitors often remark on the tranquil solitude of the sands, which offer opportunities for activities like camel trekking, dune bashing, and stargazing. The night sky, unspoiled by light pollution, reveals a dazzling array of stars, making it a favorite spot for astronomy enthusiasts.

Wahiba Sands is not only a destination for adventure but also a place to experience Oman's rich cultural heritage. Traditional Bedouin camps provide a glimpse into the lives of the people who have thrived here for centuries, offering warm hospitality, storytelling, and authentic Omani cuisine. The desert's mystique, combined with its serene beauty and cultural significance, leaves a lasting impression on everyone who visits.

Days 12 - 15

5* Alila Jabal Akhdar

Half Board

Today, you will leave the desert and head North and up into the very high mountains and Al Jabal, with a stop in the historical town of Nizwa. 

Nizwa and Jabal Akhdar

Nizwa is known for its 17th century round tower fort, and the souq with its ornamental silver jewellery, Friday cattle auction and intricately hand-carved khanjar daggers. A few kilometers outside Nizwa, you'll visit the historic fort town of Bahla which is famous for pottery. This town is encircled by a 12km winding wall and now it is included on UNESCO's World Heritage list. A short distance beyond, the castle of Jabreen, also built in the 17th century and a seat of Omani learning, displays the finest examples of Islamic architecture with beautifully executed woodcarvings and exquisite ceiling paintings.

Jabal Akhdar, meaning "Green Mountain" in Arabic, is a stunning highland region in Oman's Al Hajar Mountains, known for its cool climate and lush terraced farms. Rising over 2,000 meters above sea level, it offers breathtaking views of rugged peaks, dramatic canyons, and traditional villages. Renowned for its pomegranate orchards, rose gardens, and hiking trails, Jabal Akhdar combines natural beauty with a serene atmosphere, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil retreat.
