Beaches
Oman’s shoreline stretches for thousands of kilometers, where shifting tides reveal long beaches, hidden inlets, and coral reefs.
Destination Description
Stretching along the eastern edge of the country, the coast provides both livelihood and seclusion. Fishing villages mark the shoreline, their boats and daily catch central to life by the sea. Between these communities lie wide, empty beaches and smaller bays where little has changed for centuries. The result is a coastline that is at once practical and remote, shaped by tradition yet open in its stillness.
Our coastal focus includes Barr Al Hikman, a vast peninsula of tidal flats, lagoons, and sandbanks where birdlife and glass-calm shallows create a rare sense of space. Alongside it, we curate private beaches across the coast for quiet swims, reef exploration, and elegant seaside setups far from crowds.

Location
From Muscat, sheltered bays and fishing villages are reached within minutes, while longer drives reveal secluded beaches with no visible development.
Barr Al Hikman lies in Al Wusta and is planned as a full-day or multi-day outing with 4x4 support and tide-aware timing. It pairs well with our network of private beaches north and south of Muscat for a varied coastal itinerary.
