Forts, islands, wadis, Nizwa and the sands. One hotel, two speeds.
The 3-Day Escape plus the two days that finish the picture. Mibam and the turtle coast, the Daymaniyat reefs, Nizwa and the mountain village, then a wadi-and-dunes day that comes in two speeds, easy through Wadi Bani Khalid or, with a guide, the full Wadi Hawer challenge, and a last unhurried day at the flamingo lake, the big dam and the ziplines. Every night in the same Muscat bed, no repacking, and the receipt at the bottom is the whole trip.
