Embrace the Enchanting Beauty of Oman

Oman is a land where tradition infuses with serene natural beauty. From the imposing Al Hajar mountains to the sprawling beaches of Salalah, the country is a paradise for travel enthusiasts wishing to explore a less-trodden path. As you journey through Oman, you'll encounter a beguiling mix of desert landscapes, lush green oases, and vibrant souks.

Explore Muscat, the Heart of Oman

Begin your tours of Oman in Muscat, the nation’s charming capital. Its stunning architecture and vibrant culture set the tone for your adventure. Visit the majestic Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and lose yourself in its awe-inspiring design, a blend of traditional Omani and modern Islamic architecture. Wander through the Mutrah Souk, where the rich scents of incense and spices waft through the air, offering a sensory dive into Omani culture. Every corner of Muscat speaks of history and tradition, making it an evocative start for solo travelers eager to connect with the soul of this Arabian gem.

Adventure Awaits in the Al Hajar Mountains

For those with a penchant for adventure, the rugged beauty of the Al Hajar mountains awaits. These mountains present excellent terrain for hiking enthusiasts, commanding breathtaking views at every turn. Travel through ancient mountain villages like Misfat al Abriyeen and discover a way of life that seems untouched by time. The village’s ancient stone houses and lush terraces against the mountain backdrop make for an idyllic escape into the past.

Dive into the Coastal Charms

Oman’s coastline stretches for over 2,000 kilometers, offering some of the most pristine beaches in the world. Solo vacations to Oman wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Salalah, the country’s lush southern city known for its monsoon-kissed monsoons. Here, the coconut-fringed beaches and sparkling waters beckon you for relaxation or exploration. The coastal charm of Oman provides countless opportunities for water sports or simply basking under the Arabian sun.

Rich Cultural Tapestry

Omani culture is a tapestry woven with hospitality, music, and tradition, ready for you to explore on your own terms. Immerse yourself in Omani history at the National Museum in Muscat or experience the ancient ruins of Al Baleed Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These sites tell stories of times gone by and the diverse influences that have shaped the country.

Safety and Comfort for Solo Female Travelers

Traveling alone can sometimes be daunting, but Oman prides itself on its safe environment and the genuine hospitality of its people. The citizens are known for their kindness, often going out of their way to ensure visitors feel welcome and at ease. For solo trips for women, Oman offers not only security but also a culturally enriching experience that embraces the spirit of warmth and respect.

Opting for guided tours of Oman can add a layer of comfort, providing knowledgeable guides who can offer insights into the local culture and history. Whether you're exploring the labyrinthine corridors of Nizwa Fort or sipping freshly brewed traditional coffee during a Bedouin experience, engaging with a knowledgeable guide can enhance your understanding of this fascinating country.

Culinary Delights

No travel experience is complete without savoring the local cuisine. Omani food is a delightful mix of spices and flavors, showcasing its rich heritage. Try dishes like Shuwa, a festival meal traditionally cooked underground with spices, or Majboos, a fragrant rice dish. Sampling these culinary treats is a journey in itself, offering another avenue to explore the rich cultural narrative of Oman.

With its safe atmosphere, cultural depth, and breathtaking landscapes, solo tours of Oman promise a unique blend of adventure and relaxation. Whether hiking rugged mountain paths, exploring the architectural marvels of Muscat, or simply enjoying the pristine beaches, Oman invites solo female travelers to discover its captivating allure. So pack your bags and get ready to embark on a soul-stirring journey through one of the Middle East’s most enchanting countries. Adventure awaits as you uncover the mysteries and wonders of Oman, all while creating your own travel tale.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak

Our first trip with Goway was a total joy. Shalini worked with me to plan a trip for 5 adults to Portugal. She is a gem! Always responded quickly and offered great suggestions for activities, worked with our preferences and created an ideal itinerary for a week in Porto and Lisbon. The tours were excellent with engaging local guides. The food tour in Lisbon was a highlight. Everything was top notch - flight schedule, hotels, activities, even the weather! Patricia

It is with the utmost pleasure and heartfelt appreciation that I share my exceptional experience working with Taha Colombowala, Goway's distinguished Groups Specialist. Our journey together began in October 2023, when Taha took the helm in orchestrating what was to be a remarkable group trip to Ghana. When unforeseen circumstances necessitated a change in plans, Taha demonstrated his extraordinary expertise by recommending Morocco as an alternative destination — a suggestion that proved to be nothing short of absolutely brilliant! From the very first interaction to the final farewell, Taha has been a consummate professional in every sense of the word. His lightning-fast response times, encyclopedic knowledge of destinations, and remarkable ability to pivot seamlessly under pressure are truly second to none. What sets Taha apart, however, is not only his professional acumen but also his warm, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic attitude toward accommodating the unique needs and personalities of every member of our group. Taha Colombowala is, without question, a shining star within the Goway family, and an extraordinary ambassador for everything the brand represents. I cannot recommend him highly enough — he has exceeded every expectation and then some. Working with Taha has been an absolute privilege, and I look forward to many more incredible adventures ahead!DESIREE DUCKETT

We recently completed a custom Vietnam tour organized by Goway, and it was everything we asked for and more. We would definitely choose Goway again. The true highlights of our trip, however, were our two guides: Vu Dang and Thien. They truly made our experience unforgettable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. Their pride in their Vietnamese heritage shone through in every conversation, making our learning experience both deep and engaging. We learned so much in such a short time, and it was always fascinating. I would highly recommend these two guides to anyone visiting Vietnam!Laura Derbyshire

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC
