8 days in Oman Itinerary

The capital and largest city of Oman, the coastal city of Muscat boasts numerous historical sites and pristine modern developments.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Sultan's Armed Forces Museum and Safaris. You'll get in some beach time at Al Sifah Beach and Pebble Beach. Go for a jaunt from Muscat to As Sifah to see Extra Divers Sifah about 1h 5 min away. There's still lots to do: stroll through Daymaniyat Islands Nature Reserve, see the interesting displays at Amouage, relax and rejuvenate at some of the best spas, and admire the masterpieces at Ghalya's Museum of Modern Art.
