A hidden gem of a holiday destination, the sultanate of Oman is steadily growing in reputation for its unblemished beaches and superb diving opportunities, not to mention its intriguing Middle Eastern culture.
From the tips of its jagged mountain vistas, which stretch down across into rolling sand dunes and 2,000km of unspoilt, white sand beaches, Oman’s stark landscape represents a beauty like no other.
Take to the vast dunes of Wahiba Sands, admire the verdant tropical scenery of Salalah and gaze across marine-life abundant waters, Oman’s natural splendour is the ideal complement to cities resplendent in grand architecture and bountiful cultural marvels.
