Overview
The Oman Geology Field Trip is a tailor-made expedition (8–30 days), available on request and crafted by Panorama Travel’s geology specialists. This immersive field study program invites universities, research institutions, professional organizations, and keen individuals to explore one of the most exceptional geo-heritage destinations on Earth.
Oman is a true geologist’s paradise — a place where deep time is laid bare in soaring mountain ranges, exposed oceanic crust, and ancient desert landscapes. Throughout this journey, we delve into:
- The Hajar Mountains — A world-renowned natural geological museum revealing over 600 million years of Earth history
- The Empty Quarter Desert — The planet’s largest sand sea, where salt domes push Precambrian rocks to the surface
- Unique Volcanic, Tectonic & Marine Formations — Including hot springs, sinkholes, pillow lava, and giant caves
- Cultural Heritage — Historic forts, thriving souqs, ancient villages, and the coastal beauty of Muscat and Sultanate’s wadis
This expert-guided exploration provides rare insights into plate tectonics, ancient marine environments, mass extinction events, and the processes shaping our planet today.
