Where to travel

Jabal Akhdar (the Green Mountain), with its craggy peaks, gorges, ancient villages, and picturesque terraced hillsides, towers high above the plains surrounding Nizwa and is one of Oman’s most imposing attractions.

Muscat has an exceedingly picturesque location overlooking the Gulf of Oman, ringed by an amphitheatre of jagged bare rocks. The Omani capital is one of the Arabian Peninsula’s most fascinating and attractive cities, noted for its luxury hotels, pleasant winter climate, and beaches.

Dominated by verdant oases, imposing fortresses, crumbling mudbrick villages, and soaring mountain ranges, Oman’s interior is traditional, scenic, and culturally fascinating and offers exciting opportunities for soft adventure.

Explore stunning wild wadis, gorgeous coastal panoramas, vast seas of sand dunes, crumbling mudbrick villages, lively market towns and the most important Green turtle nesting site in the Indian Ocean.

Remote, wild and pristine, the 1,500km coastal road between Muscat and Salalah is considered one of the finest driving experiences in Oman and offers an almost unparalleled adventure.

The fertile strip of the Batinah Coast is noted for its fine fortresses, lush semi-tropical oases, hot springs, scenic mountain villages, and magnificent off-road driving experiences.

A visit to the Empty Quarter is the ultimate prize for desert lovers, while Dhofar, the Land of Frankincense, transforms into lush landscapes during the summer monsoon.

Separated from the rest of Oman, at the neck of the Persian Gulf, and known for its spectacular fjord-like sunken valleys and rugged mountains, the Musandam Peninsula is one of Oman’s most scenic and least developed areas.
