19 Days Pleasures of the Persian Gulf Tour Package
Duration: 19 Days / 18 Nights
Priced From: $5,315 (All pricing reflects per-person Land Only expenses)
Dates: Feb, Oct
This 19-day tour through the fascinating cultures and beautiful countryside of the Persian Gulf region begins in Kuwait City, which, after an extensive restoration and rebuilding effort, bears little resemblance to the war-devastated area left behind after the Iraqi invasion. We visit the famous landmarks, perhaps even take a high-speed elevator up the Kuwait Towers, and tour the remarkable museums, where we can appreciate ancient Islamic art, calligraphy, pottery, embroideries and jewellery. From here, we head to Bahrain, an archipelago located in the heart of the Gulf that boasts a unique blend of ancient and modern; a destination where glistening skyscrapers share the skyline with majestic, centuries-old mosques. After exploring the traditional markets and abundant attractions of the tiny island state, we set off for Qatar, where we saunter around the Old Souk (market), through the maze of alleyways and down to the nearby Dhow Harbour to see some of the Gulf's traditional and distinctive trading vessels. The UAE is next on our destination list and here we have the chance to check out Abu Dhabi's unique architecture, which is an intriguing interpretation of Islamic designs crafted in modern materials, as well as one of the most futuristic cities in the world, Dubai. From here, our journey takes us into Oman and through a multitude of landscapes: flat deserts with beautiful oases, dry, jagged mountains, plains dotted with hills and acacia trees and narrow river valleys. Along the way, we get a real feel for the area and its tribal past with visits to traditional towns, where we mingle with the friendly locals and learn about the fascinating lifestyles in this unique part of the world.
Tour Itinerary
Day 1 Arrival in Kuwait
Today we arrive in Kuwait City. During the Iraqi invasion, Kuwait City was extensively bombed and damaged. Buildings were fired upon, set alight, and demolished; roads and bridge links were the targets of explosives, and landmarks were defaced. After the invasion's terrible onslaught, foreign investors and the Kuwaiti government are actively involved in modernizing the city and transforming it into a world-class, state-of-the-art business hub. Today, virtually all traces of the invasion have been cleared, and construction cranes dot the skyline. Dinner (if required).
Day 2 Kuwait City: City Tour
Today we have a guided tour of Kuwait City. We will begin with one of Kuwait's most famous landmarks, the Kuwait Towers. We will take a high speed elevator to the uppermost sphere of the largest tower (187 m / 600 ft) for a panoramic view from the revolving observation area. We also visit the Tareq Rajab Museum, a private collection of the Rajab family. The museum deals with calligraphy, pottery, metalwork, glass, wood, ivory and jade carvings of the Islamic world. Early calligraphy is presented in a separate small room, showing pages from the Holy Qur'an, dating back to the first three centuries of the Islamic period. There are also displays of costumes, textiles, embroideries and jewellery of the Islamic world. We also visit the Martyrs' Museum, one of the few remaining testaments to the war. Overnight in Kuwait City. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 3 Kuwait City, Kuwait - Manama, Bahrain
Today we fly from Kuwait to Bahrain and transfer to our hotel. Frequently called the Pearl of the Arabian Gulf, Bahrain is an archipelago of 33 low-lying islands located in the heart of the Gulf, and offering a blend of ancient and modern. This is a place where modern skyscrapers share the landscape with majestic mosques, embodiments of Islamic art, culture and architecture. Rich in history, Bahrain was once part of the ancient civilization of Dilmun and served as an important link in trade routes between Sumeria and the Indus Valley as long as 5,000 years ago. Manama is Bahrain's modern capital, and is dominated by a Manhattan-style skyline. Today much land, including the diplomatic area, has been reclaimed from the sea. Overnight in Bahrain. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 4 Bahrain: Area Tour
Today will be spent exploring this tiny island state. We begin with a visit to the Bahrain National Museum where we will trace the archaeological development of the region. Through sculpture and ceramics, reconstructed burial mounds, Arabic calligraphy and illuminated Korans, the different periods of Bahrain's history are presented. We will also visit the Bahrain Fort. The first dwellings on the site are believed to have been constructed around 2800 BC, and have subsequently been overlaid by numerous fortified settlements. The last was built in the early 16th century to defend Portugal's recent acquisition of the islands; for this reason, it is also known locally as the Portuguese Fort. We will also pay a visit to the Al Fatih Grand Mosque, Bahrain's largest mosque and a magnificent piece of architecture. On the Island of Muharraq we visit Shaikh Isa House, in the old town of Muharraq. This was once the home of the Amir's great-grandfather, Shaikh Isa Bin Ali Al Khalifa. It provides a fine example of local architecture, complete with wall carving and latticework, and representative of traditional 19th century life. The house is complete with a 'wind tower'; constructed 5-6m (16-20ft) above the house and open on all four sides. One of the early forms of air conditioning, this acts as a funnel, catching the breeze and drawing it down into the cavities below, as well as allowing the release of hot air like a chimney. One of the most impressive examples of a 19th century homes is Beit Al Siyadi. Built by the pearl-merchant Ahmed Bin Qassem Siyadi, there are many fine features to look out for, including ornate ceilings, stained-glass windows, carved screens and a large safe set into the wall of a small, upper reception room. No visit to Bahrain would be complete without a tour of the Old Souk, with its profusion of colours, sounds, and aromas. The souk lies in the centre of the old town, near the archway of Bab al-Bahrain and, although much of the surrounding area is modern, the street layout and division of occupations still follow traditional lines. All wares are sold, from cloth of different colours and textures to gold and jewely as well as the traditional array of spices and local produce. Overnight in Bahrain. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 5 Bahrain - Doha, Qatar
In order to sample some of Bahrain's past, we will make a visit to the A'ali Burial Mounds. This is the site of what may be the largest prehistoric cemetery in the world, with approximately 170,000 burial mounds dating from between 3000 BC and AD 600. We will also visit the pottery makers at A'ali village. This time-honored industry has been handed down from generation to generation. The clay used for pottery, which is the centre of the industry in Bahrain today, is made from a blend of two types of clay. These are combined to create the optimum blend for their products, which range from traditional bread ovens to water pipes, plant pots and moneyboxes. Kilns are frequently located inside the surrounding burial mounds, and the smoke given off can sometimes be seen from a distance as you approach the village. We wil also visit Jasra House, built by Sheik Hamad in 1907 and the birthplace of the present Amir in 1933. We will drive out along the Bahrain - Saudi Causeway, the symbolic and actual link between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. This evening we fly to Qatar. Overnight in Doha, Qatar. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 6 Qatar: Area Tour
Ruled by the Al Thani family since the mid-1800s, Qatar transformed itself from a poor British protectorate noted mainly for pearling into an independent state with significant oil and natural gas revenues. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Qatari economy was crippled by a continuous siphoning off of petroleum revenues by the amir, who had ruled the country since 1972. He was overthrown by his son, the current Amir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, in a bloodless coup in 1995. In 2001, Qatar resolved its longstanding border disputes with both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Today oil and natural gas revenues enable Qatar to have one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. We will start this morning with a visit to the vegetable and fish markets. This 'Central Market' can be a hive of activity, especially in the morning. Fresh caught fish of all varieties are on display from a variety of fishmongers. The wholesale market is nearby, where fruit and vegetables are sold by the box rather than by the kilo. Here you will see local traders bargaining for goods as well as families who find it cheaper to buy this way. We will also take a stroll along part of the sea-front Corniche where you will be struck by the expanding and rising urban skyline. This is a part of the city where dhows line the quay, and Palm Tree Island beckons from the centre of the bay. The nearby Dhow Harbour is still home to some of the Gulf's traditional and distinctive trading vessels. At some point during our day we will also make a visit to the Old Souk (Market). The most traditional of the souks, it first started as a weekend market for local Bedu, selling meat, wool, milk and other staples. Today, this maze of alleyways covers a large area with separate sections selling traditional clothing, hardware, perfumes, spices, incense, and dried fruit. In the Gold Souk one discovers a packed row of jewelery shops selling both locally crafted and imported gold jewelery. We will also visit the private museum of Sheik Faisal Bin Qassim al Thani. Here we find an impressive collection of artifacts, weapons, Bedouin jewellery, traditional clothing and old photographs. Overnight in Doha. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 7 Doha - Abu Dhabi
The United Arab Emirates is a group of seven sheikhdoms that united into a federation in 1971. The Emirates covers a total area of just 83,600 km? (32,600 sq miles), and its population of more than 2 million comprises over 70 nationalities. One of the fascinating aspects of the UAE is that expatriates vastly outnumber citizens. The economy functions entirely on the skills and labour of peoples as diverse as Americans, Pakistanis and Filipinos. This multi-ethnic transience, combined with the sheer modernity of the area and strict religious codes, produces a uniquely dynamic society. Today we will fly to the largest of the emirates, Abu Dhabi, and make our way to its ultra-modern capital on the Arabian Gulf. Although Abu Dhabi city was founded in the late 18th century, the city exploded with oil wealth in the 1960s and the city was entirely rebuilt. There are almost no buildings in the city more than 30 years old. However, Abu Dhabi's citizens are very proud of their fabulously rich city with its broad avenues and futuristic buildings. The city's architecture is an intriguing interpretation of Islamic designs crafted in modern materials. We will see the magnificent waterfront corniche and visit the whitewashed Al-Husn Palace, the oldest significant building in Abu Dhabi. The oil industry has turned this piece of desert into one of the worlds' most technically advanced cities. Abu Dhabi is situated among a group of islands and this afternoon we will take a cruise along the corniche to view the spectacular city skyline. Overnight in Abu Dhabi. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 8 Abu Dhabi - Dubai: City Tour
This morning we depart Abu Dhabi and drive to Dubai, one of the most futuristic cities in the world. Dubai is a dynamic city-state at the heart of the UAE. Although it is not the largest of the emirates, Dubai is one of the wealthiest and most varied. World famous as a duty free shopping centre, it is on the basis of trade (not just oil) that Dubai has built its wealth. Today we will tour Dubai city to observe the city's layout and modern architecture. This city has many fine mosques, and today we will stop at the elegant Jumeirah Mosque, a landmark of Dubai. This beautiful mosque is a spectacular example of modern Islamic architecture. Another of our stops will be the Emirates Towers, two of the highest buildings in the Gulf and the most prestigious buildings on Dubai's skyline. One cannot miss the Burj Al Arab Hotel, built in the shape of a billowing Arabian dhow sail and dominating the Dubai coastline. This is one of the world 's most spectacular and incomparably luxurious hotels. Although an ultra-modern city in many respects, much of Dubai's heritage has been retained. We will visit the Dubai Museum, housed in the restored Fort Fahidi. Inside this mud-walled fort dating back to the early 19th Century, the displays chronicle the long history of the Arabian Gulf. From the museum we will explore the 'Creek' area and see the old houses in the Bastakia quarter. A visit to this district is a step back in time to the days before electricity and air-conditioning, where wind towers cooled traditional courtyard houses. Many of the old wind tower houses were built by the wealthy merchants of the past, and Old Dubai was famous for these towers lining the Creek on both sides. We end our day with a journey across the Creek by water taxi, known as an "abra". The abra is a wonderful vantage point from which to see the modern and old buildings sitting along the Creekside. On the other side of the Creek we will set out on foot to navigate through the bustling alleys towards the spice and gold souks. Overnight in Dubai. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 9 Dubai - Sharjah - Umm Al-Qaiwain - Ras Al-Khaimah - Ajman - Dubai
From Dubai we travel north to the third largest of the emirates, Sharjah. Spread out along the Khalid Lagoon, Sharjah is an old trading centre with a laid-back feel. Here we will view the King Faisal Mosque, the largest place of worship in the UAE, capable of holding up to 3,000 people in prayer. We will also explore the waterfront region and the huge Central Market where hundreds of shops and stalls display a dizzying variety of goods. From Sharjah we travel through the three northernmost emirates in the UAE. The Hajar Mountains sweep out of Oman and into the northern and eastern parts of the UAE. Our first stop is in Umm Al-Qaiwain, the emirate with the smallest population of the seven states making up the UAE. Umm Al-Qaiwain is a simple, little place with no high-rise modern buildings. Here we get a feel of what the traditional towns of the Gulf were like before the oil boom rocketed them from the Middle Ages into the 21st century in less than 30 years. Travelling north we enter into the emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah, the agricultural centre of the UAE. We visit the Ras Al-Khaimah Museum where we will learn about the many archaeological sites in the area. The old town of Ras Al-Khaimah, built around the harbour, is a charming place to wander. North of the town we visit the archaeological site, which spreads out around the so-called "Queen of Sheba's Palace". On our journey back towards Dubai we stop at the smallest of the emirates, Ajman. Here we visit the excellent museum, built in an 18th century fort. Overnight in Dubai. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 10 Dubai: At Leisure
Dubai's culture is firmly rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia, where global trade routes cross legendary tradition. Courtesy and hospitality are among the most highly prized of virtues. Today you can continue to explore this fascinating city with some free time on your own, giving you the chance to further witness the contrast between the past and present. You may choose to return to the Creekside and the souks, or enjoy some shopping in one of the many malls. A POPULAR OPTION today is lunch at one of the restaurants at the Burj al Arab Hotel; however, reservations must be made well in advance. Please review the hotel website (www.jumeirah.com) for the various restaurant options and contact them directly to book. It will likely be too late if you wait until after your arrival on tour. Overnight in Dubai. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 11 Dubai - Fujairah - Sohar, Oman
Today we leave Dubai and travel east towards the only one of the United Arab Emirates not located on the Arabian Gulf, Fujairah. At first we cross the flat desert but the scenery becomes wilder as we rise into the foothills of the Hajar Mountains through steep mountain gorges and wadis. Politically, this is a very obscure region - there are several small territorial enclaves isolated deep within the boundaries of other emirates. There is even a small enclave of Oman totally surrounded by the UAE. We drive through the hills and down to the coast of the Gulf of Oman to the town of Dibba, on the border with the Omani enclave on the Musandam Peninsula. The scenery on this drive is spectacular, with jagged mountains coming down to deserted white beaches lapped by the bluest of azure seas. At the town of Badiyah we will see the oldest mosque in the UAE, and at Khor Fakkan we enter a tiny enclave of the emirate of Sharjah. Before visiting the relaxed modern town of Fujairah we will stop at the old town. The original town of Fujairah was abandoned early in the 20th century and has been restored. Here we will visit the small museum before continuing to the border with Oman. From Fujairah we head south to the Omani border. Here we enter a different world from the UAE. Oman is not principally a land of sand deserts but rather a dramatic area of dry, jagged mountains with narrow river valleys (wadis) between. The evidence of Oman's tribal past is everywhere, with ruined forts commanding every important vantage point. Much of Oman remains hidden in remote valleys and there is a feeling of self-imposed isolation here at the tip of the Arabian Peninsula. The first major settlement we come to in Oman is the fishing village of Sohar. This town was once much bigger, being the centre of an empire stretching from India to Africa. This was where the legendary Sinbad the Sailor set out on his voyages. Today Sohar is a sleepy shadow of its former glory. The early 17th century Sohar Fort is unusual in that it is whitewashed rather than being earth-coloured like most Omani forts. Sohar was the centre of an ancient copper mining and exporting industry dating back 4500 years. The tower of the fort contains an interesting museum and the tomb of a 19th century ruler. Overnight in Sohar. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 12 Sohar - Muscat
The extensive plain of the Batinah runs between the sea and the mountains for 270 km (167 miles) from the frontier with the UAE southeast to Muscat. Its width varies, averaging about 25 km (15 miles) and it is one of the most densely inhabited regions of Oman. This is not saying much, however, since Oman only has a population of 3 million living in a country of over 300,000 km? (117,000 sq miles). Most of the people live in or around Muscat, the capital. The cultivation in the Batinah, and hence the villages, is concentrated in a narrow strip along the coast where about half of the cultivated land in all of Oman is located. The palm groves are densely green sheltering limes, bananas, pomegranates, figs, papaya, mangoes, guavas and vegetables. Fishing is also very important in this area. As we approach Muscat the agricultural plain narrows with the mountains closing in on the coast. Overnight in Muscat. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 13 Muscat: Area Tour
Oman's position on the Arabian Sea/Indian Ocean, and its isolation from the rest of Arabia have given the country a much more outward orientation. Trade from Oman to India and Africa has been conducted for thousands of years. During the age of the European empires in India and Africa, Oman developed strong ties to Britain. Sharing the mountainous south coast of the Arabian Peninsula with Yemen, Oman shares many features with its western neighbour, including aspects of their dress and architecture. In ancient times this area was where highly prized Frankincense was grown and exported. The capital of Oman, Muscat, is by far the largest town in the country. It is not actually one town, but rather three separate towns plus several associated towns all separated by geographical features of the mountainous, indented coast. We start our tour of Muscat in the associated town of Medinat Qaboos where, among government ministry buildings and foreign embassies, we learn about the history and culture of the country at the Oman Museum. Driving to the port town of Mutrah, we visit the wonderful souk, a traditional Arab market with a '1001 Nights' atmosphere. Oman was formerly a country of warring tribes, so almost everywhere you look you will see forts perched on hilltops, some of them still used by the Omani army or police. As we drive around the coast today we will view several forts including those of Al-Jalali, Al-Mirani and Mutrah. Driving on to the town that is technically called Muscat, we will see the beautiful waterfront boulevard and the Sultan's palace. We visit the Bait al Zubair, a wonderful museum occupying a traditional house with displays of weaponry, jewellery, costumes, household items and old photos. Overnight in Muscat. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 14 Muscat - Sur
Leaving Muscat we turn inland, climbing into the fertile Wadi Semail. This has always been a key route, being the only major natural break in the mountains leading from the interior to the coast. The fortified village of Fanja stands on a rock ridge, it's defensive position once strengthened by surrounding walls and watchtowers on higher ground. The town's date palm plantation stretches along the course of two wadis (seasonal rivers). At the point where the road divides stands the fort of Bidbid. Our route will take us along the twisting road through the Wadi Aqq that leads to a pleasant wide plain dotted with hills and acacia trees. It is in this region that we can savour the atmosphere of traditional Oman, as it was before the days of oil. Towns here prospered centuries ago on the trade with Africa and Zanzibar coming through the Omani port of Sur. Fine houses and forts were built and many of them still stand today, set back from the road behind the modern buildings. At the oasis town of Ibra the palm groves are protected by watchtowers on neighbouring hills. Many of the decorated mud brick buildings date from the 17th and 18th centuries. The old souk (market) of Ibra is now abandoned but its palm frond-shaded main street gives an idea of traditional town life. Mudairib is one of the best-preserved traditional villages in the area surrounded by tall, fortified buildings and centred on a tree-shaded square and souk. The town of Kamil is surrounded by walls and contains some fine, high mud-brick houses. Here we take the turn off to Bilad Beni Bu Ali, which has an impressive fort and a large, old mosque. The road passes along beside the Wahiba Sands, a sea of shifting sand covering 8,000 km? (3,100 sq miles). Most of the desert area of Oman is a flat gravel plain but the Wahiba has huge ridges of orange sand dunes separated by valleys. The few Bedouin who still live here breed fine camels. Returning to Kamil we turn towards the coast and the town of Sur. Overnight in Sur. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 15 Sur - Nizwa
This morning we will explore the port of Sur, located where the Gulf of Oman meets the Arabian Sea. In the town centre we will see the Sinesla Fortress with its four watchtowers. Sur's maritime history is always of particular interest. Sur was an important port in ancient times, but really came into its own when Oman started to trade extensively with East Africa. Merchants here made fortunes from the trade in slaves and cloves, and used the profits to build elaborate houses. We will learn of Sur's history and its role in shipbuilding. Sur has one of the few existing boat-building yards where traditional wooden Arab dhows are still made. These fine sailing ships carried Arab merchants far across the seas to Africa, India and South East Asia. These trading missions were responsible for spreading the Islamic religion to countries as far away as Malaysia and Indonesia. After visiting the dhow-building yard we take the short ferry ride across the mouth of the Wadi Fulaij, to the boat builders' village of Ayja. We then return to Sur and head inland, making a short detour to see the Bilad Fort. After driving through desert and oasis areas of eastern Oman we start to climb into the mountains of the Jebel Akhdar region, which is the centre of traditional Omani village life. Here villages cluster round fortresses amid jagged peaks, sharply cut valleys and small palm oases. The tribes of this area are fiercely independent and until recently this has led to almost constant tribal warfare. Even as late as 1954 the local Imam (religious leader) staged a separatist rebellion against the central power of the Sultan in Muscat. We drive through the hills to Al Kamil, an interesting oases before driving onwards to Nizwa, the main town of the interior province. Overnight in Nizwa. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 16 Nizwa: Area Tour
Nizwa, the capital of the country in the 6th and 7th centuries, is the economic and commercial centre of the province and famous for its fort, and gold and silver handicrafts. Today we will see the Nizwa Fort, built in the mid 17th century. For 300 years this was the seat of conservative Islamic rule by the Imam who was both the head of state and religious leader. We will also explore the Nizwa souk (market), where we may be able see jewelery being made. Oman has always had a strong tradition of intricate silverwork, especially in the making of daggers. This curved dagger is worn on a mans belt, and is an important symbol of manhood and wealth. Still today the Omani men proudly wear the intricately worked Khanjar over their traditional robes. Later today we will also visit the town of Bahla, which frequently was the capital of Oman, especially between the 12th and early 17th centuries. Bahla has still retained its old town walls, and mud brick buildings and palm groves fill the enclosed area. The oasis of Bahla owes its prosperity to the Banu Nebhan, the dominant tribe in the area from the 12th to the end of the 15th century. The ruins of the immense fort, with its walls and towers of unbaked brick and its stone foundations, is a remarkable example of this type of fortification and attests to the power of the Banu Nebhan. Today the Bahla Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In nearby Jabrin we will see Jabrin Fort, built by Imam Bil'Arab bin Sultan al Ya'arubi in 1670 as a defensive stronghold and as living accommodation for the Imam. It has two huge towers with walls two metres thick, and is one of the most impressive forts in the Sultanate. The tomb of Imam Bil'arab remains within the fort. During our stay in this little visited part of Oman, we will take our four-wheel drive vehicles up into the mountains, north of the Jebel Akhdar, to witness rural life. We will see the village of Saya, a farming nirvana with opulent groves of fruit trees, vine, and wild juniper. Here terraced farms cling to the mountainside. The vilages of Al Ain and Shirayja overlook groves of fruit trees and provide for great photo opportunities. Overnight in Nizwa. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 17 Nizwa - Salalah
Today we drive back to Muscat and then fly to Salalah, the second largest town in Oman. En route to Muscat we will stop at the town of Al-Hazm where we tour the impressive fort, constructed in the mid 18th century. Inside the fort there are many rooms built on several floors, and an inscription on one wall shows that there was an original fort built on this site in 1512. Further into the mountains we will visit the imposing fort at Al-Rostaq, a large building containing many sections including a prison and an Islamic teaching school. Again, the fort has an advanced water supply making it a self-contained bastion in the high mountains. Leaving the fort we have time to explore the small town of Al-Rostaq and observe the traditional dress and ways of the mountain people. Salalah is isolated far in the south east of the country, close to the Yemeni border. The setting here is magnificent, as Salalah faces the Arabian Sea/Indian Ocean, and is backed by hills. Overnight in Salalah. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 18 Salalah Area
This morning, before heading along the coast and into the mountains in our four-wheel drives, we tour Salalah including the museum and the archaeological site of Al-Balid. In pre-Christian times this tiny area was one of the three centres of production for one of the ancient world's most highly prized and expensive commodities, Frankincense. This was the main area in which the Frankincense tree grew. Demand for this rare product was enormous in the Mediterranean region as it was burnt in huge quantities during religious rites in temples throughout the Roman world. (Frankincense is a gum dried from the sap of a special tree that only grows in this area). Today we learn about the Frankincense tree and explore the Dohfar Mountains. We visit the site of Sumhuram, the port at the beginning of the Incense Route. We also visit the traditional boatbuilding village of Taqua, the spectacular beaches at Mughsail, the "Queen of Sheba's Palace" and the oasis springs of Ain Arsat and Ain Hamra. Overnight in Salalah. Breakfast and dinner.
Day 19 Salalah - Muscat - Depart
Today we fly back to Muscat and connect with our flights homeward (departure usually after midnight, just into tomorrow).Land only passengers must take into account the afternoon / evening flight from salalah when booking air from muscat. If your flight departs muscat earlier than 22:00 tonight you will need to overnight in muscat at an additional cost. If your flight departs muscat just after midnight, make sure that the departure is for tomorrow's date. Breakfast. Bon voyage !
