Information about
Oman, Land of Legend

A hidden gem at the top of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman is a wonderful combination of timeless heritage and modern life. From high mountains and deep gorges to water-filled wadis, endless beaches, and some of the most stunning desert landscapes in the world, Oman’s diverse beauty is evident in every part of the country. For nature lovers, there are white sand beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see, often transitioning into brilliant golden sand dunes surrounding refreshing oases that are a delightful surprise for the wandering traveler. For lovers of elevated terrain, the mountainous regions, hiding countless wadis (valleys) and lagoons that form unique, self-contained ecosystems, will surely captivate. Oman is the ultimate destination for cultural tourism. Here you will find hundreds of castles, forts, and museums dating from various historical periods.
