Explore the beauty of Oman

Oman makes a fantastic destination to revisit time and again, offering a fascinating culture, spectacular mountain backdrops and remarkable hospitality.

Oman is also great for adventurous self-drive trips, allowing you to explore the ancient sites, meandering wadis (valleys) and golden Wahiba Sands at your own pace.

For a real taste of Arabia you can also opt to camp under the stars in the Empty Quarter — the world’s largest sand desert.

Key places to visit include the dunes of the Wahiba Sands where Bedouins live nomadically, the Portuguese-influenced architecture of Muscat and the sheer peaks of the Jebel Akhdar Mountains.

A wonderful day trip is to take a hike to the fresh water oasis of Wadi Shab and swim in the turquoise waters of Bimmah sinkhole.

There are places to go in Oman to suit a wide range of interests from adventurers to history buffs to beach lovers.

Oman's history is on show as you walk through Nizwa, home to a 17th-century fort and explore souqs piled high with beautiful textiles, traditional hats, pottery, antiques and spices.

Out on the coast, you can explore the remote Musandam Peninsula’s clear waters by dhow  - a traditional Arabian vessel, or snorkel in its secluded coves.

Further south in the Dhofar region you find Salalah where you'll find beaches with utterly beautiful clear blue waters, powdery white sands - stunning against the rugged mountain backdrop.
