Visit the intriguing Wadi Bani Khalid and enjoy the fascination of deep aqua colours with the greys of the surrounding sandstone ridges, followed by a private BBQ dinner at your tented suite.
Take a spectacular drive through the mountains down to the town of Nizwa, the birthplace of Islam in Oman and the country’s ancient capital.
Don’t miss your front-row seat to the wonders of the Indian Ocean. Embark on an extraordinary journey at Patina Maldives with Dive Butler International in ‘Ocean Pearl, an exploration submarine by SEAmagine Hydrospace Corporation. A first in the Maldives, you'll delight in unparalleled underwater views of coral reefs and exotic marine species with a 360-degree cabin view and an expert pilot providing educational insights.
Take a private full-day tour of this gleamingly white city. Start in the beautifully quaint Old Muscat. Nestled between two valleys, it’s tiny compared to its more modern counterpart and therefore easy to see why a slight relocation was required! Check out Al Alam Palace, at the heart of Old Muscat, and the most important of ruling monarch’s six royal residences. It’s Oman’s most flamboyant example of contemporary Islamic design and, while not open to the public, you can get an excellent view of the façade from the front gates. Back in New Muscat, a tour of the Grand Mosque is imperative. Built with marble from Italy and swathed in carpets from Iran, it’s also home to the world’s second-largest hand-loomed Iranian carpet, which took 600 women four years to weave! Then pay a visit to the Bait Al Zubair Museum for a brief introduction to Oman’s history and development and the chance to see an enormous collection of cultural treasures, from Omani weaponry to art and jewellery.

Nothing compares to the magic of a night spent under star-studded skies in the sensual silence of the desert, so your next stop is a visit to the vast Sharqiya Desert – also known as Wahiba Sands – for an intriguing insight into a rapidly disappearing way of life. Just a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Muscat, it’s the most easily accessible desert area in the country and a highlight of any trip to Oman. Accompanied by a guide, your journey across the wild desert to Desert Nights Camp allows you to savour the views of the rolling, towering sand dunes of Wahiba, get the chance to meet with the Bedouins who call the desert home and cool off in the natural waters of Wadi Bani Khalid, a real desert oasis surrounded by palm tree gardens.

After an utterly unique stay in the desert, your next stop is Nizwa, principal city of the interior and just 90 minutes from Muscat. Steeped in tradition, it’s home to the famous Round Tower Fort, built in the 17th century, with hypnotically dark tales of ‘murder holes’ involving hot date oil, scorpions and snakes! Its souq is mind-blowing too. And, if you have time, visit the Al Hoota Caves for their intriguing stalactites, stalagmites and underground lake, followed by the unmissable Waterfalls of Tanu.

After an epic week of Arabian adventures, it’s time to escape to the Maldives – an archipelago of tiny teardrop islands like nowhere else on Earth... Sapphire seas under clear blue skies, exploring the translucent lagoons and making footprints in the powder-white sands. Heavenly! Your home for the next five nights is Patina Maldives, Fari Islands, designed by renowned Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan, with 90 contemporary one- to three-bedroom Beach and Water Pool Villas and 20 Fari Studios, all of which embody a harmony of sanctuary and stimulation.
