Muscat: 2-Day Oman Tour to Wadi Shab, Ras Al Jinz Turtles and Wahiba Desert

Day 1:
Visit the photogenic Bimmah Sinkhole, a natural limestone crater filled with brilliant turquoise water. Continue to Wadi Shab, where a guided hike through a dramatic canyon leads to natural pools and a secret waterfall hidden inside a cave (swimming required). After lunch, travel to Ras Al Hadd and check in to your accommodation. In the evening, visit the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve and, with some luck, witness green sea turtles nesting under the stars.

Day 2:
After breakfast, head to Wadi Bani Khalid, a lush mountain oasis with emerald pools perfect for swimming and relaxing. Then journey into the golden dunes of Wahiba Sands for a true desert experience. Stop for photos, enjoy optional dune bashing or camel rides, and soak in the stunning landscape before returning to Muscat.
