Oman

Our latest addition

Oman is our newest destination and is totally different from all the other countries we go to. Here we can combine the excitement and freedom of self drive with the thrill of heading into Wahiba Sands for a few days camel trekking or desert driving.

We can also organise for you to finish your holiday with a few indulgent nights in a stunning luxury hotel in Muscat.

We believe that a journey into the remoter regions is a must, they are absolutely spectacular and the scenery is out of this world. However, we also know that it is very important to be safe and here, more than anywhere, you will need a capable guide, only the mad would travel into the desert alone!

In the Empty Quarter, our Safari Drive guide is a Bedouin and he loves this area with the pride of someone who has spent his life here. He knows every dune and, more importantly, every oasis.

Heading off into the sands with him is simple and intrepid travelling at its best.

There are no facilities of any kind, just lots of sand, the odd passing Bedu and his caravan of camels, you and your vehicle, ear-ringing tranquillity and breathtaking scenery.

Here is a still montage video of the highlights in Oman

A magnificent country that stirs the imagination

Oman occupies the south eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula and overlooks three seas – the Arabian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.

Its western border meets Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with Yemen to the south and the Straits of Hormuz to the north.

It displays enormous geographical contrasts between dramatic and stark mountains and lush wadis with crystal clear alpine pools, shifting desert sands and coastal beaches, the solitude of vast desert areas and the splendour of its ancient forts and citadels.
