Escape into a Middle Eastern Sanctuary on Your Holidays in Oman

Experience the magic and beauty of the Arabian Peninsula when you visit Oman.

Oman welcomes globetrotters from near and far with its unmatchable hospitality and relaxing retreats. The coastal country gives you a taste of the quintessential Middle Eastern lifestyle with its famous landmarks, traditional souks, and outdoor attractions.

The capital Muscat is one of the first stops during holidays in Oman. You can go sightseeing here to visit the regal Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Bait Al Zubair Museum, and Al Alam Palace. Each location connects you to the history and heritage of Oman.

Tourists seeking recreational activities enjoy a day trip to the Qurum Beach and theatrical performances at the Royal Opera House. You can also stop by the Mutrah Souq to shop for handicrafts, souvenirs, and try the tasty street food.

If you’re fascinated by history, add the forts of Oman to your itinerary. The Bahla Fort, Al Jalali Fort, Al Mirani Fort, and Nizwa Fort whisper tales of a bygone era with crumbling architecture and secret passageways.

Outdoor adventurers will be a change of scene by hiking through the lush green valleys of Wadi Ash Shab. Tourists that can take the heat will enjoy safari expeditions to the Wahiba Sands. The desert tours include everything from camel rides, rental quad bikes and camping facilities to Bedouin feasts.
