Ancient trading routes meet golden sand dunes
Hayak, and welcome to the Arab state that is probably least concerned with building skyscrapers. Rather than stretching skyward into the future like Qatar and Dubai, Oman maintains a deep felt connection with its ancient past and the wonders of the natural world. Take time to explore Nakhal and Bahle Fort, and look out from their towers over the rolling dunes that surround them. Or, if you’ve got the sense of direction for it, get out amongst the sands and live the nomadic life of the Bedouin (camp for a night and see the desert at its most beautiful, illuminated by countless stars). So whether you want to haggle for deals on oils and silks in Mutrah Souq, or quietly observe as thousands of turtles lay their eggs on the beaches of Ras Al Jinz, VISIT OMAN!
