Oman

Utterly unspoilt and staggeringly beautiful, Oman’s natural assets, from mountain wildernesses and hundreds of miles of sugar-soft beaches, to historic forts, and red desert dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see make this unassuming desert realm one of the hottest tickets around.<br /> <br /> With 1000 miles of pristine beach bordered by warm Gulf waters on one side, and swaying palms and rugged mountains on the other, Oman’s coastline is a picture-postcard come true; while Muscat is one of the most beautiful capitals in the region.<br /> <br /> Away from the city, desert adventures await, with gentle camel treks or thrilling four-wheel drive wadi safaris, all allowing you explore the magnificent canyons, traditional villages and UNESCO World Heritage forts that stud this beautiful land of the Sultans.
