01A short boat ride from Muscat, the Dimaniyat Islands are a protected marine reserve where turtles, ospreys and vibrant coral gardens come within reach. Here’s how to make the most of a day on the islands—practical, conservation-minded, and unforgettable.
02Old Muscat condenses centuries into a shoreline walk: a ceremonial palace, Portuguese forts on salt-worn rock, a fragrant souq and intimate museums. This guide shows how to experience it in a half‑day or full‑day, with practical tips for timing, dress and what to bring.
03Swap a single postcard view for three different Oman's in 72 hours: seep into a mountain wadi, watch dunes reshape themselves at dusk, and sleep beneath a sky that unrolls star by star. This private 3-day tour from Muscat does it with local guides and hands-on camping.
