Breakfast. Today we depart for a half day Muscat tour. Being a
rare blend of ancient & modern, Muscat is a beautiful city which
lies in a maze of brown pleated mountains. Lulled by the Arabian
Sea, the city has undergone dramatic development in the past two
or three decades. However, Muscat takes pride in the fact that it
has preserved its lustrous culture & heritage. Our visit starts with a
drive through the ministries' area, where you can see a number of
modern buildings with touches of ancient, Islamic architecture. Our
first stop will be the Grand Mosque, which is an architectural
marvel and perhaps the new landmark of the city. We will then visit
the fish market and the folkloric Muttrah souk, with its narrowcovered alleys where you can smell exotic aromas of mounds of
spices, coffee beans, and ancient remedies, all enticing perfumes
that fill the air. Next, engage in a visit to the Bait Al Zubair
Museum, which has a fine exhibit of Omani history and culture,
encompassing all of the area’s traditional values. You will also
have a photo-stop at the magnificent Al Alam Palace (the official
residence of Sultan Qaboos) flanked by the twin Portuguese forts

castles and towers in Oman. Our today visit will include a few of the ones
which are more remarkable & striking in their architecture & style. We start in
the morning at 9 am to drive to the historic town of Nizwa, Oman’s cultural
capital. Our first sop will be the charming ancestral village of BIRKAT AL
MAWZ at the bottom of the GREEN mountain, JEBEL AKHDAR. We will then
head to visit the beautiful Nizwa center with its Fort (outside visit) and its
massive circular cannon Tower, making it one of the most impressive forts in
Oman. We will walk through the traditional Nizwa Souq. Lunch in a local
restaurant. After lunch we will proceed to the Jabreen Fort. The Jabrin Castle,
built in 17th century,is one of the finest of its kind. Its magnificent plasterwork,
the carved doors and the painted wooden beams of the ceilings makes this
castle amazingly different. After we visit the Jabrin castle, we will drive
towards the JEBEL SHAMS one of the most famous mountains in OMAN,
passing one of the oldest small towns of Oman Bahla with its fort (outside visit

  • Where should I buy the flights to reach my destination?

    Today Voyages does not sell flights directly. None of our tours come with flights included. Why? Because we prefer to give full flexibility to our valued customers to select the airlines and the booking platform they prefer. As soon as your flight is booked and confirmed, we invite you to update your flight plan within your Today Voyages booking confirmation page by entering your flight number, departure and arrival times, as well as your Passport information (if needed). None of these fields are mandatory but we highly encourage you to provide as much information as possible. This will allow us to provide you with the excellent service you are looking for.

  • What is an additional excursion or tour optional?

    Certain tours might show a selection of additional excursions/optional activities that you may want to add to our standard itinerary.

    If you purchase one of our Group vacation packages, you will be escorted by a professional tour guide and will be traveling with other like-minded travelers you may not know. The group size depends on the tour you select. If you purchase one of our Private vacation packages, you will be traveling only within your group of friends. You may or may not be escorted by a professional tour guide; this depends on the type of private tour you are interested in.

Unforgettable tour in the US National Parks

04-May-2022

I booked a guided tour in the National Parks through Today Voyages and couldn't have been happier! Our guide was great, he knew the destination very well and gave us great advice for the best hikes and view points. The itinerary was well-packed and we were amazed at the scenery of the South West. We would definitely consider booking another tour next year.

Helengeli island is stunning

12-Apr-2023

Wow, Helengeli island is stunning. The resort is clean, the staff are so attentive, the grounds are pristine, and the food is 5*. Spending a week at this resort was simply paradise, white sand, crystal blue ocean, what more could you want! As I wasn't able to tailor-make my holiday, the Today Voyages team helped me find the tour that best matched my expectations, and they definitely didn't disappoint!!!

Good Bali experience

03-Feb-2023

There is no better place on Earth than Bali to celebrate your honeymoon. We are so glad we came across this tour. Two unforgettable weeks of jungle adventures, beaches and snorkeling, massages, nature. And the price was great. We cannot be happier! Planning Vietnam for 2024!

Top Experience!

03-Feb-2023

The Las Vegas and the National Parks Hiking Tour is a deal not to be missed. What a phenomenal trip! We were 14 people in our minibus and it was great to connect to all of them. So many stories to share. The cool thing about this tour is that it attracts hikers of all kinds: laid back hikers as well as more experienced ones could find beauty in every single destination this tour took us to. I will for sure join another tour soon. Thank you guys, also, for the assistance provided throughout the trip. Loved it!

Unforgettable 8-day trip to Kenya

01-Mar-2023

I just came back from an unforgettable 8-day trip to Kenya. A mix of relaxation and adventure. I had never traveled with a group before and, honestly, I was a little skeptical at the beginning. Pauline at Today Voyages convinced me that this was the right tour and the right destination for me. And the truth is... she was right. Tsavo and Watamu are such awesome destinations, our guide was impeccable and it was a small group: a family of 4, a young couple, and us. We became friends. Highly recommended!
