The legendary home of Sinbad the Sailor, Oman retains its ancient atmosphere, coupled with luxurious hotels, striking beaches and fascinating markets. Be sure to wander the winding corridors of Mutrah Souq – the oldest market in Muscat, and marvel at the surprising tropical greenery of Salalah. Go dolphin-watching or sip Arabian coffee in an exotic majlis. Oman may be the friendliest country in the Middle East, with dramatic landscapes dotted with oases, forts and palaces that inspire exploration.
