Day 3: Monday - Muscat/Musandam A fascinating flight up the coast, weaving through the volcanic mountains of the northern peninsula on the approaches to the little town of
Khasab. Lunch. The afternoon excursion by landcruiser climbs to 2087m for the panoramic views over the fjords where mountains plunge dramatically into the sea.
Overnight: Golden Tulip Hotel.
Day 4: Tuesday - ‘Fjords’ of Musandam A chance to explore the inlets, hidden villages and peaceful beaches of the ‘fjords’ on a dhow cruise, with lunch included. The boat stops for swimming and snorkelling in the calm, clear blue waters. Overnight: Golden Tulip Hotel.

Afternoon at leisure to enjoy the peaceful setting of our hotel’s pretty courtyard with its large, refreshing pool. Overnight: Nizwa Hotel.
Day 6: Thursday - Jebel Shams A visit to the 2000m Jebel Shams for a walk above the precipitous cliffs of Oman’s Grand Canyon.

On to solitary Jabrin Fort, the most beautiful in Oman, with intricate ceiling decorations. Overnight: Nizwa Hotel.
Day 7: Friday - Nizwa A morning to explore charming Nizwa, the former cultural and political capital of Oman, where the colourful Friday goat market takes place in the shadow of the fort, its enormous tower flanked by the beautiful, blue and golddomed
Mosque. In the largely rebuilt souq locally crafted goods include traditional silver jewellery, copper ornaments and woven fabrics. Overnight at Crowne Plaza Hotel, Muscat.
Day 8: Saturday - Eastern Hajar A pleasant drive through the Hajar mountains to the coast and then, on unmade roads, to Quriyat, famous for its beaches and coastal views. After a visit to a ‘sinkhole’, a huge chasm where fresh and seawater meet, there’s a stop for a swim followed by a picnic lunch. Still on the coast, Wadi Shaab is a narrow gorge with abundant vegetation where village houses cling to the cliff above Tiwi’s shingle beach. Overnight at the Sur Plaza Hotel.
