A Week In The Arabian Tropics
For families seeking an unusual half-term trip or couples short on time. In Salalah, find everything that's great about Oman.
The things to do in Oman are endless; the whole country feels like a staggeringly beautiful adventure playground! Immerse yourself in a great variety of experiences that allow you to connect with the dramatic landscape and the rich heritage of the Omani people.
IT'S ALL ABOUTTHE EXPERIENCE
On an ETG holiday, our private guides and signature experiences are guaranteed to bring Oman to life in new and unexpected ways. However, we also know how important it is to have time and space for you to discover things on your own. It’s often the ‘little’, unscheduled experiences that create the enduring memories - a chance encounter that leads to a feeling of connection; the sense of awe inspired by a dramatic landscape, the restorative warmth of some winter sun - and our luxury Oman holidays make room for these too.
OUR SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES - A SNEAK PEEK
Signature experiences are day trips, tours or excursions that we have created alongside our local partners to reveal the fabric of Oman. They are exclusive to us and focus on revealing the fabric of the destination. It might be a twist on the main sights or a visit to a remote corner of the country. What unites our signature experiences is their uniqueness, excellent planning and insight into the destination.
A Day In The Empty Quarter
Head into the world's largest expanse of uninterrupted desert and visit the fascinating lost city of Ubar before taking in the incredible views of the epic dunes.
Immerse yourself in the dramatic landscape
Travel deep into the mountains and gaze awestruck into the depths of Oman’s ‘Grand Canyon’. Stroll through rose-scented villages and spot shepherds in the distance, their sheep nimbly picking their way through the rocky landscape.
Early morning boat ride along Muscat’s coast
Dolphins are commonly spotted frolicking around Oman's shores, so there is a good chance you’ll see a pod or two dipping above and below the sparkling sea on an early morning boat ride.
THE RECIPE FOR ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OMAN EXPERIENCES
Spectacular Salalah
Salalah feels more off-the-beaten-track than the coastal area around Muscat, yet it’s a microcosm of Oman experiences. You can get an excellent taste of the gorgeous scenery, culture, adventure and tropical beaches here.
Cultural treasures
Warm sunshine and breathtaking scenery are a given, but we’ll ensure you get a sense of Oman’s heritage too. Whether you’re diving into souks with your guide or sharing coffee with a desert tribe, this country’s rich culture will entrance you.
Stay Longer
Many people visit Oman for just a short holiday but if you can, take time to experience more of its varied wonders. Why not travel from the northern fjords to the lush tropics of the south - with canyons, deserts and beaches en route?
Make it Personal
Oman is well-known as one of the most hospitable countries in the world. Meet this warm welcome with openness and curiosity, and you’ll find a people who are peaceful, diplomatic and generous, as well as keen to share their outlook whilst learning from yours.
