Oman is one of the most attractive travel destinations in the Middle East. Blessed with a rich cultural heritage, breathtaking natural beauty and a 5000 year old civilisation that coexists comfortably with modern development, it is a country still appealingly untrodden that is waiting to be explored.
This is a land of incredibly diverse beauty, ranging from the ancient fjords of Musandam, to the lush green hills and waterfalls of Dhofar, from the deep wadis to the peaks of the dramatic Hajar Mountains, across the drifting desert dunes of the Wahiba Sands and the untameable Empty Quarter to the endless unspoilt beaches along the Arabian Sea.
The country’s rich cultural and archaeological heritage reflects hundreds of years of international trade and foreign influences, which can still be experienced throughout the country. There are more than 500 forts, castles and towers in Oman, many of which have been classified as World Heritage Sites.
