Oman Holidays

Set on the eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, the Sultanate of Oman has gone from vital trade post to emerging tourist destination. There’s small wonder as to why this has happened, the pure beauty of this ancient country is hard to deny, and the hospitality of the people who live here is unsurpassed.

Although more popular than a decade ago, Oman is still very much undiscovered as a tourist destination. Everything from its contrasting landscapes to its rich culture and history will instantly draw you in.

Explore its scenic beauty – from the lush greenery of Al Jabal Al Akhdar, to the vast sand dunes of Wahiba Sands, and the idyllic port city of Sur. A good view is essential to any great trip, and is loved by everyone. Whether you’re 9 or 90, these striking landscapes are postcard perfect and will leave you amazed and in awe.

Holidays to Oman offer so much more than just stunning scenery, though. Omani traditions, customs, and culture can be traced back over 2,000 years and the oldest human settlement traces back over 8,500 years. Embark on a city tour of Muscat, visit Sultan Qaboos Mosque, and see Mutrah Souq – the oldest in Oman.  Explore the network of pathways that make up this traditional marketplace, take in the smells of sandalwood and frankincense as you travel through this portal and back in time. Venture further inland to Nizwa and the Bahla Fort – one of Oman’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites – for a visit of the Nizwa souq, famous for the pottery made at the Bahla Fort nearby.

There are so many ways to see Oman. Our Destination Specialists recommend touring around, whether it be a full family adventure or an overnight desert camp, be sure to take in as much as you can in this stunning corner of the world.
