The thing I love about the photography world is how the popularity of places can ebb and flow between famous places like Iceland and Patagonia, and somehow miss the most photogenic places on the planet. Oman is one of those places. And this travel photography tour to Oman is going to show you why it deserves so much more press.
I talk a lot about the “perfect” travel photography destinations. They are those countries that have a little bit of everything: landscapes, people, culture, wildlife, and architecture. There aren’t that many countries in the world that fit that bill. Oman, however, definitely does.
Let me take you on a photography journey across this stunning country. This is the Oman Photography Tour for 2027!

Dubai Add-on
On most of my trips, I try to include an add-on so those who want to make the most of their long travels can spend more time in the area. The add-ons are usually a bit more chill, but still have a photography purpose. This add-on will take you to Dubai.
There is the option for an add-on.

However, if you’d like your own private room for the duration of the trip, you’ll need to book a single supplement.
