Oman is discovered through three distinct worlds: the vast expanses of the Wahiba Desert, the sculpted canyons and oases of the wadis, and the traditional architecture of Nizwa and Muscat. Tours are generally organized over 2 to 3 weeks to appreciate these contrasts. Private trips with driver-guides and small group tours offer two complementary approaches to this preserved sultanate, where Omani hospitality remains a way of life.
