I have based the cost on holidaying January/February. One option is for ten nights at the superb Chedi hotel in Muscat and the second option is for eight nights at the Chedi followed by two nights in the desert.
Muscat (pictured above) is an historical port and the capital of Oman. It combines modernity with outstanding culture and the attractions of the seaside. Muscat is a small city so you’re never too far from where you want go. The Chedi hotel is a class act with a prime location and spacious, almost art-deco design. The hotel has 162 bedrooms, six restaurants/lounges, impressive spa, three pools and health club. The Chedi is regularly voted among the world’s greatest hotels. I’ve based the price on the Serai Sea View bedroom with breakfast. The bedroom is 33m2 and features a rain shower and “full-on” views of the Gulf of Oman.
The golf in Oman is good with Muscat La View and Al Mouj now being the best two of the three good courses in Oman. Al Mouj (designed by Greg Norman) was recently voted second best course in the Middle East and Muscat La Vie has been renovated and relaunched and is a striking, American-type layout. Al Mouj is on the coast near the hotel and and Muscat is about five miles inland.
I have also included two excursions for you:
Classic Muscat City Tour
The tour includes a visit to the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque (please adhere to the dress code). Drive by the diplomatic quarter and Royal Opera House. Visit the fish market, Bait Al Baranda Museum and Muttrah Souk. Drive through Old Muscat to see Al Alam Palace with its two flanking Portuguese forts.
Duration: 4 hours
Wahiba Sands
Wahiba Sands including an English speaking driver/guide. It’s a rather spectacular drive through the desert and along the coast.
The weather in February ranges between 21 and 26F with 9 hours of sunshine so is ideal for winter sunshine golf. June can be up to 40 C.
