What Awaits You in Oman
Oman is a country that will genuinely surprise you. It's nothing like its neighbours - there are no towering skyscrapers or busy tourist traps here. Instead, you'll find breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and a culture that's as warm and welcoming as the Omani sun.
Muscat - A Capital Like No Other
Oman's vibrant capital is the perfect base for exploring the country. Stroll along the charming Muttrah Corniche, lined with 19th-century merchant houses and colourful minarets. Visit the magnificent Al Alam Palace - one of six residences belonging to the Sultan - and soak up the sights and sounds of this beautifully preserved city that has resisted the lure of overdevelopment.
Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
One of the most awe-inspiring buildings in the entire Middle East, the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is a must-visit on any trip to Oman. Built from 300,000 tonnes of Indian sandstone and capable of accommodating up to 20,000 worshippers, it's an architectural masterpiece that leaves every visitor speechless.
The Wahiba Sands Desert
Fancy sleeping under a blanket of stars in the middle of the desert? The Wahiba Sands offers a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Stay in a luxury desert camp, try quad biking across towering orange dunes, or simply sit back and watch the sun melt into the horizon. This is Oman at its most magical.
Jabal Akhdar - The Green Mountain
Not many people expect Oman to have dramatic mountain scenery - but that's exactly what you'll find at Jabal Akhdar. Perched high above the valley floor, this stunning highland area offers jaw-dropping views, crisp cool air, and the famous Diana's Point - the most photographed spot in the entire country, and it's easy to see why.
Wadi Bani Awf
For the more adventurous holidaymaker, a journey through Wadi Bani Awf is an absolute must. This rugged mountain valley takes you off the beaten track and into some of the most dramatic scenery in the Middle East, including the legendary Snake Canyon. A proper adventure by anyone's standards.
Nizwa Fort and Souq
Step back in time at Nizwa, one of Oman's most historic cities. The impressive Nizwa Fort dates back to the 17th century and offers sweeping views across the surrounding landscape. Afterwards, wander through the bustling Nizwa Souq, where you can browse traditional crafts, local spices, and the famous Omani dates.
