How can you visit Oman without stopping by Muscat? As you stroll through the capital, you will find the old port, the Mutra fort, and the Sultan's palace. As for museums, you can visit the Oman Museum, the National Museum of Ruwi, as well as the Bait al-Falaj Armed Forces Museum. Discover the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, then wander through the souk and city markets, ending your day at the Royal Opera House, a true architectural splendor in the city.
Located on the Gulf of Oman, this city charms travelers with its simplicity and architecture. In addition to the pleasant weather all year round, Sur is by the sea. Here, you will have the opportunity to join guided excursions on the beach to observe the green turtles, which can be found in the Ras al Jinz reserve.
Located in the south of the country, Salalah is the capital of the Dhofar province. The city is particularly known for its plantations and beaches: during the kharif, that is, the annual monsoon, the desert lands are transformed into lush landscapes. Travelers can also observe unique archaeological sites here, including the ruins of Al-Balid.
Located in the north of Oman, the Batinah coast offers the timeless Barka fort, but also the historic city of Sohar, as well as the A’Thorwara springs of Nakal.
Don't miss the chance to stay in one of the camps set up in the desert dunes. The A’Sharqiyah Sands camp is 3 hours from Muscat. Here, you can enjoy cardamom coffee with dates or a bowl of Jareesh, an Omani specialty, with locals. You will sleep in Bedouin-style bungalows arranged in a circle, forming a small oasis. Enough to fully enjoy your escape in the desert, and above all, the tranquility.
Here, you can try everything! Camel races or crossing the desert by 4×4? Ice skating and scuba diving? Whether you are passionate about climbing, caving, or diving, you will find your happiness in Oman. For the more adventurous, one of the largest caves in the world awaits you! Majlis al Jinn, located in the Sultanate of Oman, is only accessible by abseiling.
Abandoned traditional houses become hotels for tourists! At the top of a mountain, the small village of Misfat al-Abriyeen has transformed its brick houses into hotels. This unusual place thus attracts travelers who love hiking and the old legends of the region.
