Experience the contrasts of Arabia on this elegant 10 night twin centre journey that combines the serene beauty of Oman with the glamour and excitement of Dubai. From the peaceful coves and mountain scenery of Muscat to the desert sunsets and skyline views of Dubai, this itinerary offers a seamless blend of exploration and luxury.
Arrive in Muscat after an overnight Emirates flight via Dubai, where your private driver will take you to the Shangri La Al Husn Resort & Spa, part of the renowned Barr Al Jissah complex. Set between the mountains and the sea, your Panoramic Sea View Room provides uninterrupted coastal views and access to a private beach and infinity pool. Begin your journey with slow mornings overlooking the water, leisurely breakfasts and time to unwind. Spend afternoons exploring nearby Muttrah Souq or the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque before returning to the resort for sunset.
Set out on a private 4x4 tour along Oman’s dramatic coastline to explore two of its natural wonders. Stop first at the Bimah Sinkhole, a striking limestone crater filled with turquoise water, before continuing to Wadi Shab where you can walk through the canyon and swim in clear pools surrounded by cliffs and palms. It is a day that reveals the wild beauty of Oman’s landscape, perfectly balanced with comfort and ease.
Fly from Muscat to Dubai to continue your Arabian adventure, with a private transfer waiting to bring you to the One&Only Royal Mirage, one of the city’s most iconic beachfront resorts. Your Arabian Court Deluxe Room blends traditional design with contemporary comfort, and offers direct access to gardens, pools and private stretches of sand. Spend your days discovering Dubai at your own pace, from the glittering Dubai Marina to the winding lanes of the Old Town, with time to enjoy the resort’s tranquil spaces in between.
As evening falls, journey into the desert for an unforgettable night at Sonara Camp, where dinner is served beneath the stars. Relax in the dunes surrounded by candlelight, soft music and the glow of the desert sky. The setting captures everything that makes Dubai remarkable, combining elegance, culture and stillness.
Bring your journey to a close with a few final days of relaxation. Stroll along Jumeirah Beach, enjoy spa time or afternoon tea overlooking the Arabian Gulf, and take in the views one last time before your evening flight home.
