Oman Holidays
the middle east
On the coast, luxury resorts rest on pristine unspoilt beaches framed by majestic mountains and the sparkling Arabian Sea making Oman a perfect destination for those looking for a relaxing beach holiday.
However, there is far more to Oman holidays than just beautiful beaches alone. The narrow streets, vibrant souks and impressive forts of Muscat have retained much of their ancient charm, whilst inland, a dramatic landscape of mountains and gorges dotted with lush oases and hilltop castles, fringes the majestic dunes of the desert. The vast dune sea of the Wahiba Sands look like something straight out of Lawrence of Arabia and time spent amongst the Bedouin here is an unforgettable experience.
Trailfinders offers a range of Oman holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Oman on a luxury beach holiday, an exciting family holiday or a more active golf break - they are the perfect people to ask.

Oman Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Jessica Williams
If staying at the beach, make sure you take a day trip or two into the interior. The rugged mountains, historic forts and lush oases seem a world away from the bustling bazaars of Muscat.
Peter Hruska
Most beach resorts around Muscat will have shuttles to the famous Mutrah Souq - an authentic Arabian covered market. It`s not just for tourists, the locals come here to shop for anything from spices to handbags. The area outside the market is also great for some good-value local fast food.
Carrie Hawes
Don't miss a trip to Wahiba Sands, just a few hours drive from Muscat. Ideally spend a night in one of the desert camps, you can often include a spot of dune bashing or a short camel ride. One thing's for certain, you're virtually guaranteed the starriest night sky you're ever likely to see!
