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

Muscat

Your adventure starts in Muscat, Oman’s beautiful capital, nestled between mountains and sea. With your private guide, visit the architectural wonder of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and the Royal Opera House. Dive into Oman’s cultural heart at various museums.

Stroll the corniche of Muttrah and get lost in the lanes of Muttrah Souk, a treasure trove of Omani frankincense, exquisite jewellery and traditional crafts.


DAY 2

Muscat

Continue your exploration of Muscat’s many attractions. The city’s mix of modernity and tradition is unique. Visit more museums that showcase Oman’s maritime history and artistic heritage or take a leisurely boat tour along the coast to see Muscat from the water. The evening can be spent enjoying Omani cuisine at one of Muscat’s fine restaurants where Arabic, Iranian, Indian and African flavours tell the story of Oman’s rich trading past.

DAY 3

Ras Al Jinz

Drive from Muscat along Oman’s stunning coastline. En route see the Bimmah Sinkhole or hike through Wadi Shab famous for its lush landscapes and crystal clear waters.
