Why Asian Geographical?

The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.

DAY 1

Dubai

You arrive in Dubai, a city where luxury meets tradition. You will be transferred to the serene oasis of Zighy Bay on the Musandam Peninsula in Oman. Zighy Bay, famous for its stunning natural beauty and luxury resorts, is the perfect retreat. Check into your private villa with its own pool and take some time to unwind. The resort offers a range of activities – from spa treatments using organic produce to adventurous options like paragliding and kayaking – so your stay is both relaxing and exciting.


DAY 2

Zighy Bay

Spend the day in the tranquillity of Zighy Bay. The resort’s private beach and the surrounding landscape offer a unique escape. Take a leisurely dhow cruise to explore the coastline, go snorkelling in the crystal clear waters or venture out on a 4X4 trip into the hills. Every moment at Zighy Bay is an opportunity to create unforgettable memories, whether you’re looking to relax on the pristine beach or get your adrenaline pumping in the natural beauty of Oman.


DAY 3

Dubai

Transfer back to Dubai and stop en route to explore Sharjah, the cultural heart of the UAE. Once in Dubai, your private tour delves into the city’s history and modernity.
