The Jewel of Arabia …… The Sultanate of Oman is the second largest nation on the Arabian peninsula – situated on the Eastern edge of Arabia. With 1700km of beautiful coastline, Oman’s shores face directly onto the Indian Ocean, giving rise to the name, “The Arabian Sea”.
For centuries this magnificent and diverse land was referred to “Arabia Felix”. The true reason for this is thought to be largely based on the warm and hospitable virtues’ of Oman’s people.
A land stepped in history, dating back over 5000 years.
Today, although blessed with modern infrastructure, the land of Frankincense and Myrrh has retained its sense of hospitality and friendliness. The stunning natural beauty of Oman’s majestic mountains, undulating contours of the Sharqiya desert (Wahiba Sands) and the Rub Al Khali (Empty Quarter) the surprising lush green wooded hills of Dhofar and a pristine underwater world of coral reefs where rare and tropical marine life flourish, offers visitors a truly special and unique experience.
