Complete guides to Oman's frankincense coast, mountain wadis, desert dunes and historic forts.
Oman is consistently rated by travel writers as the Arabian Peninsula's most rewarding destination for independent travellers — a country that has modernised without Westernising, that has become more accessible without becoming either over-developed or over-commercialised, and that possesses a natural and cultural landscape of extraordinary variety within a territory that can be driven across in a long weekend.
The contrast between Muscat's Corniche and the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the dramatic wadi landscapes of the Hajar Mountains with their permanent turquoise swimming pools, the red-sand desert of the Wahiba Sands and the traditional fort architecture of the Nizwa region gives Oman more distinct travel experiences per square kilometre than almost any comparable destination in the Middle East.
