5 reasons to travel to Oman
The Sultanate of Oman is located in the south of the Arabian peninsula. It is a safe destination in the Middle East that offers the traveller a diversity of landscapes: desert, mountains and sea. A visit to Oman means discovering the Omani capital, Muscat, going to the Jebel Akhdar mountain to contemplate the breathtaking view of the canyon, swimming and diving in the waters of the Musamdam region or travelling through the Wahiba desert to encounter the Omani Bedouins. The landscapes are so varied and surprising that they will certainly not leave you indifferent!
A surprising cultural heritage
For history lovers or simply the curious, Oman possesses many historical and cultural sites to discover: castles and fortresses, mosques and palaces, the four sites on UNESCO World Heritage list like beautiful Fort Bahla, without forgetting the cultural capital, Muscat, with its many museums, its walls and its old quarter.
Life's a beach in Oman!
With more than 1,700 km of coast on the Indian ocean, there are some beautiful places to the north of Muscat to swim in the emerald waters. The country offers a wide choice of swimming and water activities between Shinas and Barka: beaches and wild coves, fjords, including the sublime Khor al Sham, or even coral reefs for snorkelling enthusiasts.
Live your own "Thousand and One Nights" experience
An immersion in the heart of the Omani desert remains an extraordinary and memorable experience.
