Oman

Arabia's best-kept secret: deserts, mountains and millennial hospitality

Oman is what many imagine when they think of Arabia but rarely find: authenticity without artifice, luxury without ostentation and a culture that has modernized without losing its soul.

There is an Oman that few know. Not the one in the headlines about the Persian Gulf, but a country of wadis hidden among mountains, Portuguese forts facing the sea, adobe villages where time is measured in calls to prayer and a desert that rivals the Sahara. Oman is different from any other country in the region. Here there are no skyscrapers competing to be the tallest or artificial islands. What you will find is a sultanate that has invested in preserving its heritage, keeping its traditions alive and offering visitors a genuine experience of Arab culture. From the mountains of Jebel Akhdar covered with rose bushes to the virgin beaches of the Dhofar coast, from the souks perfumed with frankincense to nights in the Wahiba Sands desert, Oman is a country that surprises at every turn of the road.

Muscat and surroundings

The Omani capital combines tradition and modernity: the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the Royal Opera, Mutrah souk and the maritime corniche. Perfect gateway to the country.

Jebel Mountains

Jebel Akhdar (Green Mountain) and Jebel Shams (Sun Mountain) offer unexpected alpine landscapes, villages clinging to cliffs and Arabia's Grand Canyon.

Wahiba Sands

The desert of golden and red dunes where Bedouins live. Camps under the stars, camel rides and authentic experiences with nomadic families.

Dhofar Coast

Tropical southern Oman: deserted beaches, coconut palms, the Khareef monsoon in summer and the ancient land of frankincense. Salalah is its capital.

Arabia's Grand Canyon

Jebel Shams, at 3,000 meters, offers views of a 1,000-meter deep canyon. A landscape no one expects to find on the Arabian Peninsula.

Experiences

Oman offers experiences ranging from swimming in emerald pools hidden in canyons to sleeping under the stars on golden dunes. A country of contrasts that surprises at every step.

Night in Wahiba Sands

Sleep in a Bedouin camp among dunes, dine under the stars and wake up with the sunrise painting the desert gold and red.

Wadi Shab

Walk through a canyon, swim in turquoise pools and reach a cave with an interior waterfall. One of the most refreshing experiences in the country.

Dhow in Musandam

Sail on a traditional boat through Arabia's fjords, with dolphins escorting the way and fishing villages accessible only by sea.

Frankincense Route

Travel the ancient frankincense trade route in Dhofar, visit the trees from which it is extracted and learn about its millennial history.

Play at Al Mouj Golf

Designed by Greg Norman. It is the first links-style course in Oman, with 18 holes and a par of 72. It stands out for its coastal location, with views of the Indian Ocean and the Hajar Mountains. It is considered the most prestigious and highly rated golf course in the country.

Oman has developed extraordinary hotels that respect the environment and local culture. From resorts perched on cliffs to luxury desert camps, the offer is as varied as the landscapes.
