From ancient forts to turquoise wadis and coastal adventures, Oman blends history and nature. Join Lilly Douse as she explores the sites of Muscat, Nizwa, Wadi Shab and beyond.
In this episode of Grand Voyager, presenter Lilly Douse journeys to Oman, uncovering a country where ancient heritage and dramatic natural landscapes shape everyday life. In Muscat, Lilly explores the city alongside Sepideh, a local guide, discovering its coastal charm, traditional architecture, and the rhythm of Omani culture woven through the capital’s streets.
She then steps back in time at the Oman Across Ages Museum with Haitham, gaining insight into the nation’s rich history and its path from ancient civilisation to modern statehood. Travelling inland, Lilly meets with Eng. Hatim Ambusiadi, Executive Director of Nizwa Fort and Castle, where she is given a tour of the towering walls and sweeping views that reveal Oman’s strategic past.
The adventure continues outdoors as Lilly hikes through the turquoise pools and rugged cliffs of Wadi Shab, experiencing the raw beauty of Oman’s natural landscapes with The Oman Raw Explorer, Abdullah. The journey concludes on the water with a dolphin-watching excursion, offering a serene and unforgettable glimpse of marine life along Oman’s coastline — a fitting finale to an episode that captures the depth, diversity, and spirit of the Sultanate.
