Oman is a hidden jewel on the Arabian Peninsula; a mix of ancient and modern, offering pristine beaches, beautiful scenery and a rich cultural environment. It is a modern country in essence, with a rich economy based on oil, but it is its geographical variety and interesting history which makes for a holiday with a difference. It has an incredible wealth of natural attractions, rolling sand dunes, golden beaches and even its very own answer to the Grand Canyon. Visitors can go on organised treks or bike rides through the mountains or may wish simply to marvel at them from afar and in the comfort of their sun lounger.

This rapidly developing destination attracts hikers, divers, nature enthusiasts and historians alike, all enjoying the perfect beaches, mountain ranges, vast deserts, forts, palaces and souks on offer. Like other oil-rich countries, Oman has a wealth of ultra-deluxe luxury hotels to choose from. A taste of the exotic, the mystic and the surreal.

The thousands of kilometres of coastline vary from the fabulous sandy beaches favoured by Oman’s tourists to rugged rocks, islands and lagoons enjoyed by kitesurfing enthusiasts. This coastline remains unblemished, untouched by industrialisation and therefore perfect for enjoyment. 

Although Oman may not be a destination that appeals to the mass market it has much to entice the more selective tourist seeking out authentically rewarding experiences. The majestic fjords contrast beautifully with the wonderful stretches of desert and rocky mountains. Take a boat trip to view dolphins, camp under the stars in the desert, dive with turtles, go caving or simply shop in the lively souks. Restaurants are plentiful and offer multinational cuisine.

This incredible middle eastern country will transport you to a holiday like no other you may have experienced.
