Why Oman?

Bordering the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, the Sultanate of Oman is often described as an island between two seas - water to the East and of sand to the West. Prepare for vibrant culture, rugged mountains and sweeping golden beaches.

Our Take

Indeed, the seas have helped define Oman's history; shipping copper to Mesopotamia and frankincense to China and whilst the ports of Muscat and Salalah continue their long tradition of maritime trading, Oman's seas are nowadays also renowned for their sparkling turquoise waters rich in underwater flora and marine life.

Stay at a family beach resort in Muscat for winter retreat, enjoy a desert adventure with an overnight at a luxury camp in the Wahiba Sands or explore the high peaks of the Jabal Akhdar Mountains with wellbeing activities on tap.
