OmanThings to Know

From rugged mountains to serene beaches, Oman's landscapes captivate endlessly.

From the rugged peaks of the Hajar Mountains to the endless expanse of the Empty Quarter's desert dunes, Oman is a country of diverse landscapes. Explore wadis (valleys), pristine beaches, and lush oases, each offering a unique facet of natural beauty.

Wadis are more than just valleys. They are secret treasures waiting to be uncovered. Dive into the crystal-clear pools of Wadi Shab or navigate the dramatic landscapes of Wadi Bani Awf, where emerald-green oases and hidden caves create an oasis of natural beauty.

Oman's coastline is a haven for marine life enthusiasts. Head to the Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve to witness the mesmerizing sight of green sea turtles nesting under the moonlit sky. The pristine beaches and vibrant coral reefs along the coast offer unparalleled opportunities for snorkelling and diving.

Oman's rich history is showcased in its well-preserved forts, castles, and ancient souks. Nizwa Fort, Bahla Fort, and Jabrin Castle are just a few examples of the country's architectural gems that transport visitors back in time.

Delve into the world of Omani craftsmanship, where artisans skillfully create intricate silverware, vibrant textiles, and ornate pottery. Visit the souks to witness the age-old artistry passed down through generations, adding a touch of authenticity to your Omani experience.

Beyond the grandeur of the Hajar Mountains, discover the charm of traditional mountain villages like Misfat Al Abriyeen and Al Hamra. Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of mud-brick houses, labyrinthine alleys, and the warm hospitality of the mountain communities.
