Carbon Neutral Trip
Desert dunes, canyon hikes, spice-scented souks and starlit nights make Oman feel like it was lifted from legend. Sail a dhow through Muscat Harbour, share stories over a campfire in Wahiba Sands and explore ancient villages carved into cliffs. With warm welcomes and wild landscapes, Oman is pure magic.
Oman is more than its rugged mountains and desert. Hidden oases of date palms offer a serene escape, with crystal-clear waters forming perfect swimming holes, framed by dramatic cliffs—nature at its most enchanting.
Connect with Oman’s rich agricultural heritage through the timeless bond between its land and people. Walk alongside a centuries-old Persian-built irrigation system—an engineering marvel—that still nourishes pomegranate gardens and mountain villages.
Encounter spontaneous moments of hospitality that reveal the enduring spirit of Oman’s mountain communities. With every step, you’ll be captivated by the landscape and the warmth of the people who call it home.

Explore Oman on Foot
Follow donkey and shepherd paths to date groves so impressive, UNESCO has protected them.

Trade mountains for desert and experience the simple magic and tranquillity of sleeping under a starlit sky. Exchange stories and cultures with our Bedouin friends, some of the most hospitable people we've met, and at the end of the day, unwind in the country’s most luxurious lodgings, boasting comfort and style.

Good to know
Alcohol
Alcohol is limited on this trip, as many hotels and dining establishments do not permit its consumption. However, there are a few occasions when it will be allowed.
Dress
During some mosque visits, women will need to wear shawls and head scarfs. Both men and women will need to cover shoulders and knees during certain parts of the trip.
Terrain
The walking and hiking paths are not sandy, rather they are rugged mountains. The trails we use are good but sturdy footwear is recommended.
