PRISTINE BEACHES, INTOXICATING CULTURE, UNRIVALLED HOSPITALITY

The port capital, Muscat sits on the Gulf of Oman against a backdrop of mountains and deserts.  Here you can hunt and haggle for the perfect souvenirs in bustling souks and dine on the incredible local seafood.

Life here has a more laidback feel and there are plenty of historical landmarks to discover during your visit.  Arrange a trip to the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque (the only mosque in Oman open to non-Muslims), see the World-famous Royal Opera House, and on the waterfront of Old Muscat you will find the Al Alam Palace which is the official ceremonial palace of the Sultan of Oman.

Away from Oman city life you will find over 1,000 miles of untouched Omani coastline with crystal clear waters that are waiting to be discovered.  Diving and scuba are both available with soft corals and a fantastic array of marine life and exotic fish, including turtles and dolphins.

The calm and peaceful beaches are perfect for sunbathing, and you may like to arrange a private boat cruise across the Gulf or a visit to Turtle Bay for some more turtle spotting.  Make sure to add in a stop to jump into the gentle waters for a swim in your own private lagoon.

Away from the water you can head inland to discover the famous desert landscape with a 4X4 tour of the Hajar Mountains.  Travel to Wadi Bani Khalid which is known for its lush oasis, water pools and deep canyons).  For something a little more thrilling book a dune drive out to the seemingly endless Wahiba Desert, and no visit to Oman would truly be complete with a camel ride across the sweeping sand. 

Hotels in Oman cater to couples and families alike, and they all promise plenty of wonderful local hospitality.  When it comes to views, you will be spoiled for choice with a backdrop of the Hajar Mountains or the sun-kissed golden shores of the Gulf.  Oman hotels offer a perfect juxtaposition of modern architecture mingled with Arabian tradition.  You can indulge in exotic Middle-Eastern style spa treatments, wander through lush green gardens and dip into tranquil blue swimming pools.  Wherever you stay, you can be assured of the best VIP treatment.
