OMAN: Family Vacation: Wadi’s Turtles and Ancient Village of Taab


  • UAE Trekkers Al Hamra, Ad Dakhiliyah ‍Governorate Oman (map)

This adventure is inclusive of transportation from Dubai.

We will drive a total of 1535 Total KM from Dubai and back.

Date specifically chosen during ‘no moon’ for maximum turtle sightings.

This is one of the most unique experiences in Oman.

Along the eastern coastline, thousands of endangered green turtles return every year to lay their eggs on the same beaches where they were born — making Oman one of the most important nesting sites in the Indian Ocean.

On this journey, you combine adventure and nature in a 4 days journey through Oman.

Hike through the turquoise pools and hidden canyon of Wadi Shab, the village falaj system of Wadi Taab, snorkeling along Oman’s coastline, and then step into a completely different world at night — where, under the stars, giant turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. If timing is right, you may even witness hatchlings emerging and making their first journey to the sea — one of the most remarkable natural events you can experience.

Highlights of this tour:

Wadi Shabb Keyhole Cave

Wadi Taab Village and Falaj Exploration

Ras al Jinz Turtles

Snorkeling in the Arabian Sea and Dolphin Watching

Hotels:

Muscat:

Holiday Muscat (3 stars) Big rooms, clean, and a great buffet breakfast that they will set up at 5;30 am just for us.

Ras al Jinz: Turtle Beach Reserve.

There is no other place to stay other than here. This is where we get the guided tour, and where we know our money goes directly to supporting the cause of the turtles. Local Oman guides will take us to see the turtles. Rooms are huge and clean.

Wadi Shabb Beach Villa: A Private Villa with a pool for our group

We want early access to Wadi Tabb for our final day so that we can start our journey at sunrise and avoid the heat of the day, and make an early start back to Dubai on Day 4. We will return to our villa just before we head back to Dubai to shower and have lunch.
