Welcome to Oman! Get ready to delve into a rich cultural past dotted with luxury resorts, phenomenal natural scenery and an abundance of marine life making the region one of the world's most spectacular diving areas.
Muscat, meaning “Safe Anchorage,” is a port unlike any other in the world. With only a few high-rise buildings, even the most functional structures are designed to honour tradition, featuring domes or arabesque windows.
After settling in on board, embark on an evening tour of this magnificent city, where the beauty of the land is revealed by the crimson-gold glow of the sunset and the soft, ethereal lights of the night.
Begin with a photo opportunity near the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, where the grey marble façade blends harmoniously with the gentle night-time illuminations.
Next, enjoy a brief stop by the iconic Golden Gate of the National Bank of Oman, followed by another stop near the stunning Al Alam Palace.
Continue your journey with a visit to the Beit Al Zubair Museum, then wander through the traditional Muttrah Souq. The narrow, winding streets of the souq are filled with the captivating aroma of frankincense, and at this time of day, they bustle with locals negotiating with tradesmen.
The charming, ancient houses of the Corniche, where the souq is situated, glow under coloured lights, casting a mysterious and enchanting aura that transports you to the heart of the East.
The Ad-Dimaniyat Islands Nature Reserve, situated approximately 18 kilometres off the coast of Barka and 70 kilometres west of Muscat, is made up of nine pristine islands.
Renowned for its exceptional snorkelling and diving opportunities, this stunning reserve boasts beaches where soft white sands meet the crystal-clear waters of the sea.
With its rich natural heritage, the reserve is home to a diverse array of coral reefs, including some rare species.
The islands are also a sanctuary for a large population of sea turtles, which come here to lay their eggs and nest. Additionally, the area is a haven for both migratory and indigenous bird species.
In 1984, the reserve gained international recognition as part of the Great Barrier Reef project, being designated an international nature reserve and one of the most breathtaking diving spots in the Sea of Oman.
After a thrilling day of snorkelling, diving, and underwater exploration aboard the submersible, return to Muscat for a relaxing dinner on board, reflecting on a day of adventure and discovery.
After breakfast on board, set sail towards the Bimah Sinkhole, a natural wonder transformed into a sparkling swimming hole, filled with mesmerising turquoise waters. Nestled in an otherwise flat landscape, the sinkhole lies about a third of a mile from the sea, creating a stunning blend of fresh and saltwater.
Geologists have confirmed that this 65-foot deep pool is a true sinkhole, but locals hold onto the legend that it was caused by a meteorite.
In honour of its mystical allure, the local municipality developed the area into a park, naming it Haweat Najm (The Falling Star) Park to preserve and protect this remarkable spot.
Next, return to the yacht and cruise to Fins Beach, where you can take a refreshing swim in the ocean, bask in the sun on the pristine white sand, or indulge in the yacht’s water toys.
In the evening, return to Muscat, where you can choose to dine ashore or enjoy a meal on board.
Afterwards, unwind with sundowners under the stars, with the twinkling lights of Muscat providing a breathtaking backdrop.
Today is all about big game fishing! If you’re seeking the ultimate sport fishing experience in the Middle East, look no further than the Gulf of Oman.
Nestled between the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, this rich fishing paradise offers the chance to reel in gamefish left, right, and center! The local waters are abundant with tuna, sailfish, wahoo, and giant trevally, alongside a diverse array of snappers and groupers. Spend a day fishing here, and you’ll soon forget the surrounding desert as you immerse yourself in the thrill of the catch.
To ensure the best fishing experience, your captain, with expert knowledge of the waters, can guide you to the prime spots for a great haul. Anglers visiting Oman will recognise a variety of techniques in use, including jigging, popping, and trolling, and you can even try spear fishing.
Popping for giant trevally along the south coast is a local favorite, while jigging is perfect for catching longtail tuna, amberjack, Mahi Mahi, and more.
Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-time fisherman, Oman’s waters promise an unforgettable adventure.
This morning, enjoy a leisurely breakfast as you cruise towards Port Mussanah, where you’ll disembark to begin your day of adventure. There are several exciting jeep tour options to explore the wonders of this ancient land.
Opt to discover Nizwa and the Grand Canyon, starting with a visit to the majestic Nizwa Fort, complete with its fascinating museum.
Afterward, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Nizwa market, where you can browse a variety of souvenirs and exquisite silver products.
Then, continue your journey to Jebel Shams, the “Sun Mountain,” and take in the breathtaking views of Oman’s highest peak, before visiting the awe-inspiring kilometre-deep Grand Canyon.
Alternatively, embark on a jeep tour of Wadi Bani Auf and Bilad Seet. Your journey begins with a photo stop at the fertile Batinah Valley and the impressive Nakhl Fortress, one of Oman’s most renowned landmarks.
After a brief stop, drive along the base of the mountains, uncovering the secrets of Wadi Bani Auf and the enigmatic Snake Canyon. Ascend through the mountains to reach the picturesque hilltop village of Bilad Seet.
After your chosen tour, return to Port Mussanah and cruise back to Muscat for an evening of relaxation on board.
After a few action-packed days, today is all about relaxation. Cruise to the serene anchorage off the breathtaking Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah.
Head ashore and explore the resort’s exceptional facilities, which include tennis courts, a private beach, a luxurious spa, eight world-class restaurants, and four inviting bars and lounges.
The spa offers a wide range of indulgent treatments, from soothing hot stone massages to rejuvenating aromatherapy sessions and facials.
Just 20 minutes from Muscat, the resort provides the perfect opportunity to explore more of this ancient city.
Visit the iconic Amouage factory to discover the art of creating its legendary fragrances, or immerse yourself in history at the Bait Al Zubair Museum, which showcases an impressive collection of historic artifacts.
The surrounding waters offer the perfect conditions for snorkelling, or take advantage of the yacht’s water sports equipment once back on board.
Keep an eye out for the local sea turtles—Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah runs a Turtle Care Project dedicated to protecting the endangered hawksbill and green turtle species that inhabit Oman’s shores.
Cruise to Bandar Al Khiran, a breathtaking and rugged stretch of coastline on the western side of Muscat, renowned for its opportunities for kayaking, snorkelling, camping, and hiking.
Spend the first half of the day anchored in this pristine paradise, where you can explore the crystal-clear waters with the yacht’s water toys.
For those seeking adventure, embark on a scenic hike to the top of the hill, offering panoramic views and countless photo opportunities. Afterward, indulge in a delicious beach barbecue, surrounded by nature’s beauty.
In the afternoon, you can choose to return to Muscat to uncover more of the city’s hidden gems, or set sail once again into the Gulf of Oman for more exploration.
Dive into the depths, enjoy more snorkelling, or try your hand at fishing.
As the day winds down, return to Muscat for one last unforgettable dinner and drinks, reflecting on the incredible memories made.
Spend the morning on one of the nearby beaches, swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing before returning to Muscat to disembark.
