Sultanate of Oman

An exotic blend of old and new, this Arab kingdom by the Gulf of Oman was once a closed society to outsiders.  Today Oman is fast gaining popularity as a new “must-see” destination.  Over one million foreign visitors entered the kingdom in 2014.  The majority of these visitors came from Asia, the UK, and Ireland.  The big draws are the warm climate, beautiful coastal dunes and beaches, water activities like snorkeling and diving, and hiking through the unspoiled desert country.

Best known are the capital city of Muscat and Salalah, a popular spa resort town.  Oman and its people are generally well educated and financially secure due in
large part to crude oil exports; Oman is the largest producer of oil outside of the OPEC cartel nations.  Other important industries include gold and copper mining, cement, fishing, and agriculture.  Despite modern amenities, Omani society stays true to its Islamic religious and traditional ways, particularly in the Bedouin communities of the interior.

Take an excursion just past the city of Bat to see the tomb monuments of an ancient settlement that existed more than 4,000 years ago.  Visit Bedouin villages on cultural exchanges, hike along gorgeous wadi river valleys, and camp outside under the star-filled skies.  Look for desert wildlife including the Arabian oryx, mongoose, sand cats, mountain goats, falcons, and vultures.
