Unlike Dubai and the UAE, Oman is completely different. The sultanate is located in the southeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula and surrounded by the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Instead of the glitzy skyline, Oman offers stunning sand dunes, imposing mountains, and a coast with fortresses dating back hundreds of years. During one journey, you can experience sleeping in the desert camp, exploring the wadis of Jabal Akhdar with a 4X4 car, walking along the streets of Muscat passing the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and not seeing any skyscrapers around. Combine this with friendly hospitality and the culture which remains traditional despite all the modernization, and you will easily understand why travelers have started calling the place “Beautiful Oman.”
