Oman is a destination in the Middle East with a hot climate and wonderful landscapes, offering a great place for your family, adventurous or only relaxing holidays, a stable country with a rich Bedouin culture, an enormous respect for the environment and home of the traditional Arabian hospitality.
An exciting kaleidoscope of images and sounds mixed with the spices from a rich legacy on the maritime trade in the region, which can still be seen today at the local market of its capital, Muscat.
Oman has its roots in the sea with Sinbad the sailor, the most famous 'Omani'. Muscat has been the intersection of commercial trade between Africa and Asia for centuries, their mountains, beaches and valleys are mentioned in many manuscripts found in several museums around the world.
Oman is away from the mass toursim destinations which can make your dream holiday come true, with incredible spots for trekking, mountain biking, rock climbing, 4x4 expeditions, dune bashing and of course scuba diving, snorkeling, water sports and dolphin watching trips. And of course, scuba diving and taking diving lessons.
One can expect different hotel categories and types, from 5 star resorts to guest houses and even organized tent lodges in the desert, all linked by direct flights from almost all major gateways in Europe ran by Oman Air the national carrier, all with only a 2 hours time difference.
