Oman

Oman, on the southeastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, is known for its natural beauty and its strong attachment to tradition. Rugged mountains, green wadis, sweeping dunes and a long coastline on the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman create remarkable variety, while forts, old souks and the scent of frankincense tell the story of a seafaring nation. Muscat, the capital, combines elegant architecture with a calm and welcoming atmosphere.

A destination for every kind of trip

Families enjoy the beaches and corniche of Muscat, boat trips to see dolphins and swims in the clear pools of the wadis. Heritage lovers visit the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Mutrah Souq and the historic fort of Nizwa. Nature lovers camp in the Sharqiya Sands, hike on Jebel Akhdar or sail among the fjords of Musandam, while Salalah draws visitors with its green landscapes during the summer monsoon, the khareef.

Getting there from Libya

Oman is reached by air via Muscat International Airport, and Salalah is also served by an international airport. Our team prepares your visa application and organises your hotels, transfers and tours, from visits around Muscat to excursions into the mountains and the desert. Many visitors combine Oman with a stay elsewhere in the Gulf, and we can plan a programme at your pace, whether you prefer quiet beaches, mountain villages or a night under the stars in the desert.
