In a region of booming wealth and eye-wateringly rapid modernisation, Oman is a comfort to those looking for ancient character and charm. Drive your own adventure in a land of diverse landscapes and outstanding beauty. Upon arriving, your first port of call will be to wind your way up to Jebel Akhdar (The Green Mountain). Leaving the city into the Al-Hajar mountain range, you’ll soon discover dramatic vistas of the valleys, covered in orchids and flourishing with apricot, almond and pomegranate orchards. Next, the mountainous tracks will make way for towering desert dunes of the Wahiba Sands. Under spectacular stars, sit around camp fires into the early hours for the ultimate Arabian night in Bedouin-style luxury. End the trip in the ancient port city of Muscat. With a no skyscraper policy, the views of the craggy Al-Hajar mountains remain an unobstructed backdrop which for centuries have remained unchanged
