What's included in the EUR 4,808 package?

The tour typically includes 7 nights' accommodation (hotels and desert camp), meals, 4x4 transport with driver/guide, entrance fees to forts and sites, and activities. Confirm with the operator whether international flights, travel insurance, and tips are covered.

Is the desert camp comfortable? Will I have privacy?

Wahiba Sands camps are basic but clean, with shared bathroom facilities and traditional Bedouin-style sleeping areas. Expect rustic charm rather than luxury; private tents are usually available at a premium.

Do I need 4x4 to cross Wahiba Sands?

Yes, a high-clearance 4x4 vehicle is essential. Sand drifts require experienced navigation; the tour operator will provide this.

When can I see sea turtles at Ras Al Jinz?

Peak nesting season is May–August. Outside this window, sightings are rare. Book in advance and confirm turtle activity with the operator before finalising dates.

How physically demanding are the hikes?

Moderate to challenging. Jabal Shams involves steep terrain and altitude (2,000m+). Wadi hikes include swimming, rock scrambling, and creek crossings. Reasonable fitness and water comfort required; some days involve 4–6 hours of active exploration.

Sturdy hiking boots, swimwear, sun protection (SPF 50+, hat, sunglasses), light layers for cool desert nights, plenty of water, and a power bank. Check current visa requirements for Oman; most nationalities qualify for 30-day arrival visas.

★Turtle-watching at Ras Al Jinz is seasonal; confirm dates align with nesting months (May–August) when booking.
★Pack high SPF sunscreen and a hat; desert sun and mountain reflection intensify UV exposure.
