If you’re looking to explore the beauty of Oman in just one day, we have the perfect tours for you. Whether you’re interested in adventure, nature, or history, our Oman day tours let you experience the country’s stunning landscapes without a long trip. From Oman day tours from Muscat to scenic desert and mountain excursions, we offer unforgettable experiences tailored to every traveler.

One of our most thrilling trips is to Wadi Shab and the Bimmah Sink Hole. Located just under two hours from Muscat and about an hour from Sur, Wadi Shab is one of Oman’s most breathtaking spots. The journey includes a short hike followed by a refreshing swim through a keyhole that leads to a hidden waterfall—a magical experience you won’t forget! Our Bimmah Sink Hole tours take you to this natural wonder, where you can swim in the turquoise waters while tiny Red Garra fish (also known as “doctor fish”) gently nibble at your feet. A unique experience, though not for the ticklish!

For desert lovers, our Wahiba Sands one day tours offer an exciting adventure through golden dunes, while the Wadi Bani Khalid tours let you relax in crystal-clear pools surrounded by stunning rock formations. If you prefer mountain landscapes, our Nizwa, Jebel e Shams and the Grand Canyon tours provide breathtaking views and a glimpse into Oman’s rich heritage.

Nature lovers will enjoy our Wadi Dayqal Dam & Wadi Arbiyyin & Bimmah Sink Hole day tours, while history enthusiasts can explore ancient forts and charming villages on the Nakhal & Wukan & Wadi Hoqain & Hazm Castle day tours.

For those joining our Oman day trip to Wadi Shab, be prepared for an hour-long walk to reach the stunning swimming pools. We recommend bringing sturdy hiking shoes (plus an extra pair for swimming) and a waterproof camera or GoPro to capture the breathtaking scenery. We’ll also provide plenty of water to keep you hydrated throughout the journey.

At Nomad Tours, we also offer extended experiences like our multi day tours Oman, perfect for those who want to explore the country in depth. No matter which tour you choose, our expert guides will ensure you have an unforgettable experience, making the most of your time in Oman.

Wadi Tiwi is just a bit further along the coast from Wadi Shab. It to, is a  beautiful Wadi with a spectacular Waterfall. We are often asked which one do you recommend?  They are very different, so if you have two days do them both, for sure. Of course if you  do both tours we would only take you to see the Bimmah sink hole once, so we would include the Wadi Dayqah Dam instead. 

If you really are forced to choose one, note that unless you are fit an agile you will struggle to get down the cliff face to be able to swim in the Waterfall at Wadi Tiwi. It is also a bit of a hike down from the car parking area through the plantations and the Falajs to the view of the waterfall.

More driving is required to drive  the twisting winding road along Wadi Tiwi to the village of Midham and you can expect to have to reverse the car  on a number of  times

It is fair to say that Wadi Tiwi is less “Touristy “

This is one of our most popular Tours. And fortunately the driving time has now been considerably reduced after  two tunnels where built  through the mountains. We drive from Muscat along the new highway to Ibra. just after Ibra we can see the Wahiba sands. These sands stretch all the way from the foot hills of the Eastern Hajar mountains to the Indian Ocean.

You will enjoy a thrilling drive through the dunes to visit a Bedouin family and an optional Camel ride. 

Next we travel to one of Oman’s most popular and scenic spots Wadi Bani Khalid. A swim in the beautiful rock pools is a must so bring a towel and swimming gear but please swim in shorts and a T shirt.

From Muscat it is about 1 1/2 hour drive  to Wadi Dayqah. A few years ago a very impressive dam was built to provide fresh water for the local community and beyond. It is possible to rent klayaks and paddle boats. (Not included in theprice of the Tour)

From Wadi Dayqah we drive through some beautiful date plantations and along a geological wonderland to Wadi Arbeieen  The large rock pool and the waterfall are magnificent. It is great fun to jump off the rocks and swim as far as you can against the current of the waterfall.

After a swim and a picnic lunch we drive back along the wadi and then drive towards the coast to emerge at Dibah and then we drive a short distance along the coast to visit the Bimmah Sinkhole where we can have another swim if one still has the energy and then its back to Muscat.

This tour includes a visit to Wukan which I think is the prettiest village in Oman, two of its most impressive forts and a beautiful wadi with water running year round.

We first stop at Nakal to visit the impressive fort and to admire the views of Date plantations from the castle walls We then visit the hot springs where if it is not to crowded it is possible to bathe

From Nakal we drive towards Rustaq and turn off to drive through Wadi Mistal and into the Ghubra Bowl. This is a bit barren but is surrounded by imposing Jebels on all sides. As we start the climb up the Jebel the majestic Village of Wukan can be seen clinging to the rock face. As we get closer it just gets more beautiful this probably is the most picturesque village in Oman. After a very steep ascent, we park and then walk up through pretty gardens with fruit trees, almonds, pomegranates, apricots, and dates. Beside the path is a Falaj with flowing water and many pools.

From Wukan we drive back and towards Rustag and then on to the beautiful Wadi al Hoqain. Water flows in this wadi all year round and it is a wonderful place for a picnic lunch

After lunch we drive to Al Hazm castle this is by far my favorite fort/castle in Oman it is beautifully restored has one of the best collection of canons in the world.
