The thousand and one nights

Custom travel to Oman

Custom travel to Oman, in private. Once a fishing people, an always discrete presence on the Arabian Peninsula, and perhaps the best-kept secret in the Middle East. Enter the still-intact Wahiba Desert to wrap your head around the world’s largest uninhabited sand area. Or admire Omani adobe dwellings, just steps from the splendor that has always characterized this land of mysterious sultans.

NUBA EXPERIENCES

The best of Oman

Camelback adventures in the Wahiba Desert; visits to the local souk; or hop on a 4×4 to gambol across the enormous dunes in one of Oman’s most fascinating regions.

Omani coffee break

Have your coffee in a kargeen shop. The old Omani word means “a small wooden cabana” and the venue is sure to be decorated in traditional, kaleidoscopic Oriental rugs.

Recommended travel time: Spring

The best season for travel in Oman is spring, when thousands of roses bloom on farms near towns at the foot of Jebel Akhdar, the so-called “green mountain.”

In January and February, cities put on a multitude of lively festivals whose atmosphere will never you bored.

November and December bring the coolest temperatures for exploring desert sands.
