Oman is a country unlike any in the region and our expert team on the ground always ensures our Oman holidays provide the authentic experience of this land of contrasts. The Sultanate of Oman has one of the oldest civilisations in the Arabian Peninsula and is a country of mountains, wadis, deserts and historic old forts.  Oman has over 600 miles of coastline and unlike Dubai there are no skyscrapers - most larger buildings adhere to traditional Arabic designs with new buildings being either white- or sand-coloured stone.

Oman holidays with Abercrombie & Kent will be an experience of the real Oman with its fascinating culture, traditions and landscapes.

Begin your Oman holiday in Muscat, renowned for its corniche, fine museums and souq. Away from Muscat, watch turtles come ashore to lay their eggs on the beaches of Ras al Hadd. Walk through forest-clad gorges nestled in the foothills of Jebel Akhdar (the Green Mountains) and meander through ancient cliff-top villages.

Experience the stark beauty of the Wahiba Sands, whose majestic dunes form the edge of the fabled Empty Quarter. Follow in the footsteps of Thesiger and capture the stillness of the Omani desert from our camp in the Wahiba Sands.  Far deeper in the desert than any other camp, you can enjoy the authentic Oman experience by staying in a traditional Bedouin tent made from black goat hair and dining under a canopy of stars. Meet the local Bedouin people of the desert and go in search of the desert oryx.

Luxury holidays in Oman should include a visit to Musandam Peninsula where you can stay at the Six Senses Zighy Bay Resort, or a visit to the oasis city of Nizwa home of the 17th Century fort at the foot of the Jebal al Hajar. Holidays to Oman remain firm favourites with our clients, thanks to its great beaches and winter sun.

Pricing
