🌏 Destination Overview
Oman is a low-key and charming country on the Arabian Peninsula — without Dubai's flashiness, but with purer Arabian flavor. Muscat's Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is solemn and splendid, and Wahiba Sands' golden dunes roll on under the sunset; the green mountains and coastal fjords hide terraced villages, clear pools and playful dolphins, while ancient forts watch over the desert. With desert, canyons, coast and forts all together, Oman suits in-depth travelers who love nature and local culture.
