Travel to Oman

Located on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, the Sultanate of Oman offers visitors some of the most stunning views in the world today. Not only does the country sit at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, but the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman stretch out before you as well. Then, when you come in from the coast, you’ll find the warm desert environments that has made the Middle East so famous.

Visiting Oman is often an opportunity to experience cultural tourism at its finest. Several tours allow you to ride camels through the desert, participating in a caravan as you see what ancient life here used to be like. You can also enjoy the relaxation offered by modern coastal resorts, filled with cool swimming pools, golfing opportunities, and all of your favorite water sports.

What makes a visit to Oman so unique is that its society is still rooted in its major tribal identities. Each tribe has its own cultural influence, providing visitors with a diverse and inviting opportunity to explore.

The city of Muscat offers you all of the modern amenities you’d expect from one of the world’s best communities. The beaches of Salalah invite you to explore the Arabian Sea. Snorkeling, fishing, and dolphin encounters away you at Khasab.

Oman offers a breathtaking beauty that will make you want to come back and visit time and time again. Plan your stay to enjoy this nation’s warm hospitality and you’ll have an authentic adventure that will provide you with memories that last a lifetime.
