Perched on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman,
under the enlightened leadership of H.M. Sultan Qaboos Bin
Said, has been encouraging market-oriented policies and
private sector development as the mechanism for prosperity and
growth. Consequently, Oman has emerged as a modern State with
worldclass infrastructure in transport and communication, and
the government and people continue to forge confidently ahead
along the path of comprehensive development in political,
economic and social sectors.
Oman is also known for its popular tourist attractions. Wadis,
deserts, beaches, and mountains are areas which make Oman
unique to its neighboring GCC nations (Wadis in particular).
Jebel Shams is Oman's tallest mountain, highest point, and is
a popular destination for camping. Most of the major malls are
located in Muscat, the capital, the largest being the Muscat
City Centre. Other popular tourist activities include sand
skiing in the desert, mountain-climbing, camel racing, and
camping.
Sultanate is rich in heritage and traditions with a blend of
modern lifestyle. Oman is a land of stunning landscapes, from
plains to mountains and deserts to unspoiled beaches which
stretch to 1700kms of pristine coastline. The country provides
a fascinating getaway, with a range of outdoor activities to
choose from – including diving and rock climbing, photography
to ice skating. The breathtaking and splendid tourist
attractions in Oman include various castles and forts, natural
wonders, deserts, wadis, mountains, caves and a lot more. The
climate is predominantly arid in summer and is pleasant from
October to March. The Omani people are known for their extreme
hospitality and generosity in both social and professional
contexts. |
