 About Oman :


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.
