DISCOVER THE ESSENCE OF OMAN

Muscat’s a must. Oman’s low-rise, arabesque capital framed by the Al Hajar Mountains. And quite the contrast to the nearby Ds - the skyscraping, bank-breaking Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. From beach hotels to the sensational Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Muscat’s magnificent Opera House, Corniche (a 3km waterside promenade) and the bewitching frankincense-filled souks, here’s your chance to really experience this charming and historic city.

For a relaxing remote Oman break then how about heading up to the Musandam Peninsula? Beautiful, off the beaten track and with mountains dropping sheer into the turquoise sea. Dhows and dolphins, frontier fishing villages and forts  - a land that time almost forgot. Stay at Six Senses Zighy Bay, swim, snorkel and soak up the rays before returning to Muscat on your own private catamaran.

A land of contrasts, from June to September Oman’s southern city Salalah emerges from the desert as a tropical paradise. An ideal time of year to take a luxury week or two at the Al Baleed Resort by Anantara with a wealth of wadis, waterfalls, wildlife and beautiful beaches a short amble away.

Once in a lifetime experiences in Oman

Experience it all, in enigmatic Oman - the drama of the desert and Oman’s Grand Canyon, the dazzling beauty of secret bays and turtle beaches, the souqs, the sunshine, the warm and welcoming people - do it differently - do it in luxury. Immersive holidays that give back from ETG - curious holidays for curious travels, a unique alternative to your transitional package experience. 

Four-wheel drive towering desert dunes. Deep dive heady scented souqs. Feast your eyes on the wonder of the Grand Mosque, or dusty, shimmering Nizwa Fort. Sail with dolphins through sparkling fjords on a traditional Dhow and watch golden sunsets across the vast desert expanse of the Empty Quarter.
