In 2012, Muscat the capital city of Oman was voted the best city to visit in the world by travel guide website Lonely Planet and was also chosen as the Capital of Arab Tourism for that year. Oman is the perfect destination for those seeking an authentic experience that is rich in culture, heritage and history. Located in the Arabian Peninsula, The Sultanate of Oman is an exotic destination that has one of the most diverse environments in the Middle East. It is a hidden jewel that quietly boasts exquisite landscapes that effortlessly blend from the vibrant seas, wondrous rocky mountains to the timeless beauty of the desert. Roam through the traditional souks (markets) with its narrow alleys, barter with the vendors over their array of silks, silvers, pottery and other cultural wares that exhibit expert craftsmanship. Visit the relic forts and watch towers that stand senate over the modern day cultural hub, giving Oman a strong and clear sense of identity. |
