Nestled in the south-eastern quarter of the Arabian Peninsula, the Sultanate of Oman is astoundingly diverse with a stunning natural beauty. It has incredible geography comprising mountains and wadis, bustling city centres, tranquil beaches and pure waters which are home to whales, dolphins and sea turtles.
Oman is a country that is proud of its heritage.
Its history goes back to the dawn of civilisation and permeates everything: the peaks where the frankincense trees grow and the sand dunes that cover the legendary cities of Sinbad the Sailor and the Arabian Nights. The coastal area fronting the Gulf of Oman is believed to have been known to the Sumerians as early as 3,000 B.C. and remains of settlements and distinctive beehive tombs are a legacy of this era.
A visit to the capital city of Muscat, will reveal a friendly and modern city full of culture, framed by the towering mountains of the Jebel Akhdar range. Travel further afield to experience the northern lagoons and south to the beautiful beaches of Salalah. The local people will always extend a warm welcome in keeping with their long tradition of hospitality.
