Where will your Arabian Adventure take you?

اهلين وسهلين في سلطنة عمان

Oman is located at the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula and unlike the United Arab Emirates, it’s brasher neighbour, it’s a refreshing reminder of a bygone age. Although Oman can offer all the modern amenities you could wish for it’s cultural traditions remain remarkably unchanged and it’s landscape unspoilt by overdevelopment.

You can visit empty, white sand beaches and see traditional, mudbrick villages hidden amidst sprawling date plantations or clinging to the sides of craggy mountains. The towering mountain chains are scattered with canyons and wadis that beg to be explored and then there’s the vast expanse of desert with windswept dunes disappearing into the distance.

Last year Oman was voted the 4th safest country in the world for tourists in the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF).

The Omani people will welcome you with unparalled hospitality and warmth and you will find yourself seduced by the beauty and diversity of the country.

Experience the beauty of the desert

Sharqiya Sands, known locally as Wahiba sands, is only 250km from Muscat and can be experienced as a day trip but the majesty of the night sky and the beauty of dawn in the dunes makes an overnight stay a worthwhile part of your trip. Home to the Bedu, Wahiba Sands offers visitors a glimpse of a traditional way of life that is fast disappearing as modern conveniences limit the need for a nomadic existence.

Wildlife of Oman

Despite being considered by many to be mainly a desert country, Oman has a varied wildlife both on land and in its surrounding waters. Mammals such as the leopard, the oryx, gazelles, the tahr, the ibex, desert foxes and wild cats can be found and the waters around Oman are home to twenty-two species of whales and dolphins.

Thousands of sea turtles migrate annually from the shores of the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea and Somalia to lay their eggs on the Sultanate’s shores. Oman has five of the seven species of sea turtles. They are: The Green Turtle, found on most Omani beaches and plentiful in Ras Al Hadd, Ras Al Jinz, Masirah Island and Ad Daymaniyat Islands; the Loggerhead Turtle that nests on Masirah Island, the shores of Dhofar and Ad Daymaniyat Islands; the Hawksbill Turtle that nests on the shores of Muscat and Ad Daymaniyat Islands; the Olive Ridley Turtle that nests on Masirah Island; and the Leatherback Turtle which is found in Omani waters but does not nest in the Sultanate.
