Oman Tour Packages

About Oman Tourism: Oman, a country in Western Asia, is often referred to as the “Gateway to the Arab World” and boasts of rich heritage and natural beauty. This nation in the Arabian Peninsula is synonymous with majestic forts, traditional markets and religious sites that shed light on its rich Arab culture. Holidify has several Oman tour packages created to ensure that you have an amazing trip!

If you’re planning a trip to Oman, make sure to visit between October and March to avoid the scorching heat. Destinations like Muscat, Wadi Darbat, Bahla, Sur, Salalah, Khasab are just a few destinations within Oman worth visiting. You can also explore the expansive Wahiba Sands, a popular camping location known for its bedouins, camel safari, and dune bashing.

Muscat, Oman’s capital, is home to impressive forts like the Al Jalali Fort, Al Mirani Fort and Al Alam Palace. Head over to the Wadi Bani Khalid, Bimmah Sinkhole or Qurum Beach to swim, hike, or picnic for a relaxing time. Other attractions to see in Muscat are the Royal Opera House, Bait Al Zubair Museum, Al Araimi Boulevard, City Centre Qurum, etc.

Perfect for a nature retreat, Salalah is a breathtaking city with the gorgeous Mughsail Beach, vast coconut, papaya and banana plantations and Jebel Samhan housing Arabian leopards. Historical and cultural tourist sites to visit in Salalah are Taqah Castle, Sultan Qaboos Mosque, Nabi Imran Tomb and the bizarre Gun Souq where firearm and weapon antiques are sold.

Sur is often a part of Oman tour packages owing to its significant maritime heritage. The Dhow Factory is perhaps the first site to visit to understand how boats have been made over the years, along with the Sur Maritime Museum. Next, go over to Sur Corniche to catch a glimpse of wooden boats along the harbour and the Al Ayjah Lighthouse or the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve.

No trip to Oman would be complete without visiting the “Land of Many Vistas,” Khasab, popular for the majestic Jebel Al Harim that features fossils embedded into the rock. The 17th-century Khasab Fort built by the Portuguese is yet another sight to see, as is the Fjords of Musandam, where you can go swimming, snorkelling, diving, etc. Dolphin watching is also a well-known activity here.

To take home with you a piece of Oman, shop at its traditional markets called souqs, littered all around the country. The Mutrah Souq, Sohar Handicraft Souq and Nizwa Souq are a few famous ones known to sell spices, lamps, pottery, frankincense, jewellery, clothing, etc. Customisable and affordable, Holidify’s Oman tour packages guarantee you and your companions a trip that you will never forget!
