Highlights of Oman with World Journeys

Discover its traditional charms & natural beauty

Lively and vibrant Sinaw Souq is the main meeting place for the Bedouin where camels, goats and calves are auctioned and bartered. Bedouin women in traditional dress, complete with shiny metallic face-mask (burqa) trade side by side with the men and in some of the silver shops you can still find the traditional old silver Bedouin jewellery. Take the opportunity to photograph and watch turtles laying eggs and hatchlings emerging from the nests and heading for the sea. Ras Al Hadd is a strategic point, whose sea and lagoons was once a haven for pirates. Walk through the maze of streets in Sur, revealing many fine old houses with carved doors and arabesque windows. Explore enchanting wadis with deep pools ideal for swimming. Experience all this and more on our Oman Highlights programme.
