Oman in Style

A warm welcome to Muscat, the enchanting city on the Gulf of Oman, with a harmonious atmosphere and stunning architecture. Your guide will be waiting for you upon arrival and will take you to your hotel.

Today, you have all the time to yourself to gently acclimate and relax. The Chedi is a truly beautiful resort that embodies the essence of Arab hospitality in an elegant decor and majestic palm gardens. Surrender to complete tranquility, unwind at one of the delightful pools, and feel the cooling sea breeze. The culinary offerings are extensive, as is the selection of personalized treatments at the fantastic spa.

Your guide will take you to the most remarkable highlights of the White City, allowing you to admire all facets of this small-scale and traditional capital. Stroll through the winding and lively streets of the harbor district Muttrah, where you can enjoy the warm hospitality and delicious coffee Oman is famous for. Get acquainted with the cultural richness and refined Arab architecture at the impressive Sultan Qaboos Mosque, and let the graceful beauty of the city leave a lasting impression. Experience the vibrant atmosphere and local delicacies, visit the bustling boulevard and colorful souks, and discover the fascinating history.

From the cozy comfort of Muscat, today you will set out towards the majestic Al Hajar Mountains, where your next accommodation is beautifully situated on the edge of a spectacular cliff. The overwhelming grandeur of the surroundings and the phenomenal view from the resort will take your breath away. The tranquil ambiance enhances the feeling of bliss, and in the evening when the twinkling starry sky appears above your head, the atmosphere becomes truly magical.

Instead of a land transfer, you can also choose to fly by helicopter from Muscat to Jebel Akhdar. You will not be able to take your eyes off the spectacular landscape. Winding roads, green plains of date palms giving way to rugged mountains.

Jebel Akhdar is known as the Green Mountain of Oman, and the surroundings are surprisingly lush, with terraces filled with fragrant citrus trees and roses, majestic date palms, and elegant pomegranates. The resort exudes the ambiance of the glorious days of ancient trade routes, and you can follow in the footsteps of caravans throughout the area. Explore the stunning hiking trails or go mountain biking; there are countless activities to enjoy.

For the true thrill-seeker, this activity is a must. Explore the rugged landscape via the Via Ferrata, a path just below the mountain ridge where you step over iron bars. Discover a natural cave that extends into the mountain wall and step onto a 20-meter-high rope hanging above the valley. A unique experience you will not soon forget.

From the majestic and pristine mountain landscape, you will first travel to the cultural capital of Oman, Nizwa. The city lies on the border between the mountains and the desert and greets you with a warm breeze. This historic gem brings the past to life in the charming and lively old town with bustling streets, colorful spice shops, and narrow alleyways. The iconic Nizwa Fort towers above all the activity and offers an impressive view over the city, which is surrounded by date plantations.

From Nizwa, you embark on a truly special adventure. You leave the paved roads behind and drive into the desert. When you see a beautiful private tent appear on the rolling horizon of sand dunes, it is no mirage. Inspired by traditional Bedouin tents, this specially set-up tent is draped with carpets and beds. This enchanting overnight stay becomes even more memorable as you enjoy delicious dishes surrounded by the romantic glow of lanterns. The magical starry sky welcomes you, an indescribably beautiful experience.

You certainly must not miss the sunrise at this stunning location, as the first rays of the sun bathe the vast sand dunes in a golden glow. The air is fresh and clear, infused with a calming silence that is only occasionally broken by the gentle whisper of the wind softly touching the dunes. The sunrise paints a spectacular symphony of light and shadow, inspiring a sense of peace and wonder.

A unique way to admire this desert splendor is from a hot air balloon. You ascend in the gentle coolness of the morning air, with the breathtaking panorama of the expansive desert unfolding beneath you. You witness the wondrous play of shadows and dunes illuminated in various shades of orange and pink. This visual spectacle will linger in your memory for a long time.

As the morning progresses, you begin your return journey to Muscat, where you will be warmly welcomed at the Grand Lady of Muscat, the Al Bustan Palace. Statuesque marble walls, lavishly appointed suites, and extensive date palm gardens form the magical conclusion of your trip.

Two days to fully indulge in a stay of complete relaxation. Al Bustan Palace boasts no less than five swimming pools and wonderfully comfortable loungers to relax on. You can take a stroll along the longest private beach in Oman or enjoy fully personalized spa treatments in the award-winning wellness world of Al Bustan Palace Spa. On the culinary front, you can take a culinary journey around the world with high-quality gastronomic creations. A fun outing is visiting the nearby harbor town of Sidab. If you arrive early enough, you might be able to catch the catch of the day at the fish market, allowing the chef to prepare a delicious and authentic dish for you in the evening.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to Muscat Airport for your return journey later in the morning.
