Excursion Overview
Heading out of Salalah along the coastline towards the Yemeni border, the shoreline rises and becomes more rocky than sandy. Partially collapsed caves at Mughsayl have created wonderful blowholes. In the right conditions, a building roar presages great fountains of seawater exploding up out of these blowholes to soak delighted spectators. Not far past Mughsayl the steep cliffs and mountain ranges tower and hide the “Furious Road”, a strip of tarmac defiantly twisting repeatedly back on itself in an effort to conquer the peaks and make its way into Yemen.

From our very first contact with Emma she listened carefully to what we wanted and put together a fabulous Oman holiday for us. Our expectations, and hopes, were high and our trip exceeded them. We travelled from city to town, mountain to desert, inland and on the coast, staying in a variety of hotels. The information and suggestions we were given really enhanced our time. Everything was wonderful! I cannot imagine a better trip to Oman than we had, and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Emma for all the knowledge and expertise she brought to planning our holiday.

A truly wonderful trip to Oman, curated by Catherine of Holiday Architects. Oman exceeded our expectations on all levels and the trip that was put together was perfect. enough variety to be really interesting but not too rushed to be unable to enjoy it. Can not recommend the country and HA enough.
