With its wildly enchanting beaches, incredible mountain ranges and vast wilderness of sculpted sands, Oman is a country of majestic beauty and serenity. Oman’s attractions include a largely untouched coastline overlooking the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Gulf along with deserts where you can feel like the only person on earth. The cities here are steeped in history, like the capital Muscat with its forts, palaces and old walls and Al Wattih, which was settled during the Stone Age more than 10,000 years ago. Visitors to this incredible country can discover pristine beaches in Sur, turtle nesting in Ras Al Jinz, the desert dunes of Sharqiya and the ancient tombs at Gaylah.
