When one thinks about holiday
destinations, Oman is not a country that would automatically come to
mind. It might not even feature on the top twenty list of places to
visit but one thing is for sure – after seeing what the Sultanate of
Oman has to offer in terms of its natural beauty and the diverse
landscapes, it should definitely be among the top must-see destinations
for any traveler looking for a unique experience.
This is the land of Frankincense, Myrrh
and Gold. It is a land that conjures up images of bedouin tribes and
caravans criss-crossing the desert, oases of clear turquoise water and
date palms. Anyone visiting it can find all of this and more. Situated
to the east of Yemen and south-east of Saudi Arabia, Oman is on the tip
of the Arabian Peninsula with the sea spanning from the north east to
the south giving it a coastline of over 3000km. Having opened its doors
to tourism in the late 90s, Oman has still retained its old world charm.
The capital, Muscat is tucked between the rocky mountains on one side
and opens up to the Gulf of Oman on the other.
