Oman

Destination

Rich in history and with a strong sense of identity, Oman with its intricate souks, expansive canyons and ancient forts has enchanted visitors for centuries. Located in the Arabian Peninsula, it is teeming in adventure and incredibly diverse scenery.

From its ancient mosques and tombs to its powder soft beaches, whilst you can expect to find a pretty stellar selection of luxury hotels, Oman (unlike its gulf counterparts) has not given in to hyper-industrialisation where skyscrapers dominate the skyline. Oman, whilst it is a popular destination is still somewhat a tad under the radar in comparison to the likes of Bahrain and Qatar, making it a great destination for enjoying a break to this region without the heaving crowds.

Its majestic history and culture, stunning natural spaces, and friendly and hospitable locals have elevated Oman to be one of the best places to visit in the Arabian Peninsula.

Whether you are seeking adventure, relaxation, a spot of culture – or all of the above! If you’re looking for an amazing desert destination then, Oman should be the first name that’s on your lips.
