Every day promises a new adventure in Oman, from sleek understated cities to the dramatic desert landscapes—there is something to satisfy every traveller.
Imagine waking up overlooking a pristine stretch of coastline, with clear seas and a few scattered palms swaying in the breeze, then, just hours later, climbing impossibly steep sand dunes and plunging down them on a 4x4 adventure. At night you could find yourself sat on traditional cushions under the stars eating barbecue in a desert camp before retiring to spend the night in your own luxurious Bedouin-style tent.
That’s what holidays are all about in Oman – experiencing the unexpected. With such variety on your doorstep, every day promises another adventure. Arriving in Muscat, you will find a sleek understated city, where high-end hotels gaze over the beautiful coastline, where modern buildings still give a nod to the traditional architecture and where history still takes centre stage.
Stroll through the narrow lanes of the Muttrah Souq, a huge tangle of colourful stalls selling everything from spices to pottery, materials to jewellery, then wander along The Corniche to see fishermen bringing in their catch on traditional dhow boats.
With such variety, from deserts to mountains, fjords to verdant oases, Oman promises a truly adventurous escape.
