HIGHLIGHT
Oman offers breathtaking deserts, canyons, and coastlines alongside rich Arabian heritage. Explore Muscat’s grand mosques, Nizwa Fort, Wadi Shab, and the towering peaks of Jebel Shams.
Oman, a hidden gem of the Middle East, offers travelers a captivating blend of natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. From its palm-filled canyons and expansive deserts to its pristine coastlines where endangered turtles nest, Oman defies common perceptions of the region's landscape. Its cities, adorned with mosques and bustling markets, complement remote mudbrick villages that cling to valley walls, providing an authentic glimpse into traditional Arabian life.
Highlights:
Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque: Located in Muscat, this architectural marvel is the largest mosque in Oman. Completed in 2001, it features a massive prayer hall, a stunning chandelier, and a hand-woven carpet that was once the largest in the world. The mosque can accommodate up to 20,000 worshippers and is a testament to Omani craftsmanship.
Nizwa Fort: Built in the 17th century by Imam Sultan Bin Saif Al Ya'rubi, Nizwa Fort is a testament to Oman's architectural ingenuity during the Ya’rubi era. Its massive circular tower offers panoramic views of the ancient city of Nizwa and the surrounding mountains. The fort's design includes numerous defensive features, such as false doors and secret shafts, reflecting its historical significance as a stronghold against raiding forces.
Wahiba Sands (Sharqiya Sands): Experience the quintessential Arabian desert with its rolling dunes and Bedouin camps. Visitors can engage in activities like dune bashing, camel riding, and stargazing in this vast expanse.
Wadi Shab: A stunning canyon with turquoise pools, waterfalls, and terraced plantations. It's a popular spot for hiking and swimming, offering a refreshing escape amidst rugged terrain.
Jebel Shams: Known as the "Mountain of the Sun," it's Oman's highest peak. The area offers breathtaking views of the "Grand Canyon of Arabia" and is ideal for trekking and camping.
