OMAN

The wind that moves the Bedouin

A journey to the heart of ancient Arabia, Oman reveals a landscape of dramatic mountains, wind-swept deserts, and an unspoilt coastline. It is the ideal destination for those seeking the modern face of Arabia while still sensing its timeless, ancient soul.

The legendary story of Sinbad is rooted in the Arabian Nights, recounting his seven voyages—many believed to have begun along the shores of Oman. The famed sailor is thought to have originated in Sur, a historic coastal town with deep maritime heritage.

In Western imagination, Sinbad is often seen as a figure of myth and adventure, brought to life in swashbuckling tales and films. In The Thousand and One Nights, however, he appears as a daring merchant who journeys across the East in search of fortune, surviving extraordinary perils and encountering fantastical worlds.

This is a specially curated journey by Ibex Expeditions, designed to bring alive the spirit of exploration, legend, and discovery in the landscapes of Oman.
