In the morning after breakfast in the camp, we leave the desert towards Sur, we'll take you on a city tour in Sur, the famous Omani Dhow Factory, where you can see traditional wooden Dhows being built, and we take you to the old part of Sur where most of the houses there designed with wooden doors and windows.
Wadi Shab
From Sur we continue our journey to Wadi Shab, this Wadi is an enormous canyon gorge that is lined with palm trees and impressive indications of what the power of the water coming down from the mountains can do in nature. With a 35 to 40 minute hike up through the canyon Wadi (walking shoes or trainer and swimming are required), we arrive at one of the crystal clear water pools, tourists can swim through the warm waters from pool to pool. eventually, we come to the last pool where an opening among the enormous rocks allows us to swim into an incredible crevice cave with a small waterfall inside, the sunlight filters in from the outside, turning the water into a beautiful turquoise blue whilst the water showers down one side of the cave from the Wadi beyond.
Fins Beach
From Wadi Shab, we’ll make a stop at Fins Beach or people call it white sands beach opens up a panorama of strikingly white sands and intriguingly pebbly beach, with sparkling turquoise waters and soft cool breeze.

We had a fantastic time exploring the vast stretches of golden sands and rugged terrains over two exhilarating days. The highlight for us was definitely the dune bashing; the adrenaline rush was unlike anything we’ve experienced before, and the views from the peaks were breathtaking. We also enjoyed a peaceful afternoon at a stunning wadi, where we savored a delicious picnic that felt perfectly curated for us.
One small drawback was that the meals were somewhat repetitive, but the flavors were still enjoyable. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, which made the journey even more engaging. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure that perfectly mixed excitement with serene moments. We left with memories that we’ll cherish for a long time.

Our family embarked on an unforgettable adventure that blended mesmerizing sand landscapes with exhilarating explorations. We loved our accommodation, nestled amidst the dunes, which provided a unique backdrop for our experience. However, while the dune bashing was thrilling, we found some of the driving a bit too intense for our younger kids, but overall, the stunning views of the wadi made up for it.
