Oman
Oman is a paradisiacal land of different delights, where, e.g., gold-plated deserts and seas with a blue-like sky are listed among the major features, and ancient practices coexist with modern lifestyles. The country, found in the southeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, is considered to be one of the Middle East's most enchanting and genuine places to visit.
Nature and photography lovers never fail to explore Oman, the country of the divine landscapes, which include, among others, the soaring heights of Jebel Shams, the incredible gorge of Wadi Ghul, the unending Wahiba Sands Desert, and the calm beaches of the Arabian Sea. The natural beauty of the country is but one of the major tourist attractions and is greatly complemented by the intertwined past of Omani people, not least by historical forts, busy markets (souk), and old villages, which are all part of a proud great maritime past.
Muscat, the capital of Oman, makes it easy for the tourists to visit the grand architectural wonders like Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, get to know the local culture through the colorful market at Muttrah Souk, and take a relaxed walk along the picturesque Corniche overlooking the harbor. Besides the city, the riverside areas of Wadi Shab and Bimmah Sinkhole will not only provide you with stunning views but also with great outdoor activities, while the area of Salalah in the south will be blooming with vegetation during the rains, which is a season known as Khareef.
Oman has a lot going for it, especially the unconventional Arabian hospitality that will be extended to you. The locals will treat you like royalty, through their warmth, respect, and the strong tradition that has not changed over the centuries.
Quiet, idyllic, and highly authentic, Oman is a great place to feel the aura of Arabia—the journey will be full of the country's natural delights, cultural aspects, and unforgettable experiences.
