Why Oman?
Oman is perched on the tip of the Arabian Peninsula and known for its unspoilt beaches with an abundance of exotic marine life. This Middle Eastern jewel is blessed with ornate mosques, unbelievable UNESCO World Heritage sites, and a mix of magnificent mountain and desert landscapes.
If you’re all about natural beauty, Oman is a no brainer. It's scattered with wonderous wadis and mystical caves, which you can explore by dhow. Unlike UAE and Saudi, Oman's charm stems from its Arabian authenticity and a more relaxed vibe. The low-rise buildings with 360 views of the glittering skyline merge seamlessly with the old quatres of Muscat.
Nature isn’t the only thing which impresses, Oman is home to incredible manmade architecture — from formidable forts to ancient homes and charming castles. History buffs can lose themselves in Oman’s rich history at Museum of the Frankincense Land, where you’ll uncover remarkable artifacts excavated from UNESCO sites: Al Baleed, Sumhuram, and Ash Shisr.
You'll be embraced by Omani’s warm hospitality, where locals invite you to sit, chat, and offer Qahwa (traditional coffee) and a handful of juicy dates. Holidays to Oman aren’t complete without a trip to its bustling capital, Muscat — home to Grand Sultan Qaboos Mosque with stunning Hajar mountain backdrop. From the moment you step off the plane, you’ll be swathed in shops — be it world-class designer labels or authentic Arabian souks selling an assortment of aromatic spices, silverware, and gorgeous garments.
Oman is the epitome of opulence, so, jump to it — it’s time to embark on your very own Arabian adventure.
