Oman

Oman

This coastal kingdom dating back to 3,000 BC is the crown jewel of the Arabian Peninsula. Oman combines unspoiled natural beauty with distinct traditions of an ancient people. 

With its deep-rooted heritage and embracing society, Oman boasts a strong sense of identity and pride in its ancient, frankincense-trading past. It offers a unique opportunity for travelers to engage with the traditional Arab world without modern distractions of excessive wealth.

With an abundance of natural beauty and traditional Bedouin values, Oman is the perfect destination for those seeking to immerse in the ancient soul of the Middle East.

From the charming seaward capital of Muscat to the towering dunes and the dramatic mountains of the inlands, the Sultanate of Oman has an overwhelming attraction that is complemented by its people’s hospitality and traditions.

Edging along the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Oman, and the Persian Gulf, this monarchy grew strong with Indian Ocean trade over time, leading to a fusion of ethnic groups that make up Oman’s diverse culture: Arab, Baluchi, South Asian and African. The people of Oman are well known for their kindness and simplicity, and for taking pleasure in dressing with pride in traditional clothes.
