Islands, Wadis, and Turtles Hatching | 3-Days Adventure in Beautiful Oman!

#### Day1: Welcome Lunch, Coastal Road Trip & Turtle Hatching

We will pick you up from Muscat International Airport at 10:00am and embark on an unforgettable Omani adventure. Your journey begins with a welcome lunch at a charming, castle-like Omani restaurant, where you'll savor a delicious and traditional meal.

After lunch, we’ll set off on a scenic coastal road trip to Ras Al Jinz. Upon arrival, check in to our beautiful resort to relax and unwind before enjoying a delightful group dinner.

Post-dinner, we’ll head to the turtle reserve's beach for a magical experience. Witness the awe-inspiring sight of turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs or catch a glimpse of newly hatched baby turtles making their way to the sea. A local guide will provide fascinating insights into the turtles' life cycle, conservation efforts, and the ecological importance of this remarkable site.

#### Day2: Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole - Hike, swim and cliff jumping

Our first destination will be Wadi Ash Shab, an absolute gem among Oman's attractions. This canyon is renowned for its crystal-clear blue water pools and a hidden waterfall concealed within a cave. Here, the freshwater flowing from the mountain peaks converges with the salty seawater along its banks, creating a unique ecological tapestry that sets it apart from other wadis in the Sultanate.

Our second stop will be the Bimmah Sinkhole, a remarkable natural wonder. Local legend attributes its creation to a meteorite impact, reflected in its Arabic name "Hawaiyat Najm," which translates to "The Falling Star." However, geologists have clarified that the sinkhole formed through the erosion of the Earth's upper crust layer, particularly due to the interaction of limestone with water. As a special treat, we'll have the opportunity to enjoy a natural spa experience in the sinkhole's waters, rich with 'red garra fish.'

Following our adventures, we'll begin our return journey to Muscat where we will unwind for the 3rd day.

#### Day3: A Final Adventure: Snorkeling & Stunning Marine Life

After breakfast, we’ll head to Al Mouj Marina, where we’ll set sail for the world-renowned Daymaniyat Islands, an underwater paradise perfect for snorkeling. These shallow coral reefs are home to over 1,100 marine species, offering an unparalleled experience in the region.

While exploring the crystal-clear waters, you’ll encounter an incredible variety of marine life, including sea turtles, honeycomb moray eels, stingrays (non-venomous), and vibrant schools of fish swimming among stunning hard and soft corals.

Following this unforgettable sea adventure, we’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local Omani restaurant.

For those departing, airport drop-off will be available at 5:50 PM. Alternatively, you may choose to extend your stay in Muscat, allowing for additional exploration and relaxation at your own pace.ort
