2nd - 6th April 2025 OMAN
Jebel Shams
DAY 1
After meeting at Muscat International Airport at 11:00 AM we will then make our way to Jebel Shams.
After checking in to our hotel, we will then head out for a short hike to the dead Juniper trees beside the canyon. Here we will shoot sunset & night photography.
DAY 2
We will spend the morning relaxing before heading out to scout for other great dead Juniper trees. For sunset and night photography we will be at another location with an ancient dead Juniper tree.
Al Safa
DAY 3
After leaving Jebel Shams, we will make our way to Al Safa Lake. Please keep in mind the lakes are not always full and this is weather dependent. For this reason alone, in the case the water is not there I will have other alternatives available that are also stunning. Here the plan is to shoot sunset and night photography.
DAY 4
We will remain in the Al Safa region, but this time we head to sand dunes with dead trees sticking out of them. It’s an incredibly beautiful location and hasn’t been shot before but I discovered it on my last trip there. Here we will shoot again sunset and night photography.
DAY 5
We will head back to Muscat International Airport. We will be arriving late afternoon, so evening flights are recommended.
