Nature & Wildlife in Muscat

Driving up Oman's Jebel Shams mountain to see the country's Grand Canyon isn't recommended to anyone but seasoned off-roaders. This private full-day trip takes you there and back, with no driving worries. Marvel at the vast canyon from Jebel Shams' summit, and visit Nizwa, villages, and ancient ruins with a guide to navigate and provide background you'd otherwise miss. Lunch and return hotel transport are included for ease.

Oman's hill forts more than justify a guided 4x4 tour: freeing you from driving across what can be rough terrain and letting you focus on the forts' beauty, history, and surrounding scenery. This private tour from Muscat delivers: whisking you to 17th-century Nakhal Fort, up to the Ain Towarah hot springs, and then to Rustaq Fort. Hotel or port pickup and drop-off, lunch, and entry fees are included.
