Oman
Oman is an ancient land of frankincense
and myrrh and possesses some of the most dramatic and
spectacular scenery in Arabia. Bordered by the Arabian
Gulf to the east and the Indian Ocean to the south,
its scenery takes in endless desert sands, the rugged
Hajar Mountains, wadis, hot springs, southern hills
greened by the monsoon and a magnificent coastline fringed
with sandy beaches. Add this to a wealth of historical
sites, forts perched on rocky hilltops, intriguing souks
plus the warmth and hospitality of the people, you will
soon discover the magic of the legendary home of Sinbad.
Muscat, the capital, is a modern city
of contrasts with sleek highways, alabaster villas,
exotic souks, and cosmopolitan shopping centres. It
is rich in tradition and offers many attractions for
the visitor. View accommodation.
