Our UAE & Oman birding tour takes us on an Arabian birdwatching and cultural holiday par excellence! There is little that can compare to the industry and mystery of such forward-thinking Arab nations as the United Arab Emirates and the Sultanate of Oman. They exemplify and tout man’s ability to master the harshest of terrain, while maintaining an utterly unique culture and proud history in the process. In the case of these countries, this is accomplished with an ease and grace that has gained the attention and marvel of the entire world. It will be our privilege to enjoy all this as the stage or backdrop for a relaxed, yet nonetheless exciting, birding adventure. While enjoying average daily temperatures of 25-32 Celsius and low humidity, migrant species from throughout the Western Palearctic and Central Asia take advantage of easy foraging and prolific groundwater at farms and oases. Eagles flock to local carcass dumps and waterfowl languish in the Khawrs near the ocean and at freshwater pools in wadis. From the possibility of Grey Hypocolius, to the wonders of sandgrouse flocking to drink at a remote oasis, fascinating birding experiences abound on this very relaxed and highly recommended tour!

Client Testimonials
I was really pleasantly surprised about every aspect of the Oman & UAE tour. Forrest Rowland did an outstanding job in every way and he has a great sense of humour. This tour exceeded my expectations. The pace was just right, accommodations and meals were of high quality, and Forrest did a great job of organizing details and making sure everything ran smoothly. He found the species that were sought and had expert knowledge of where the birds were likely to be found and when was the best time to try for them.
