Oman

Trip Planning & Itineraries

Westerners in Oman often have the sense of inhabiting a parallel universe: there are all the familiar expressions of the mobile-phone culture, and then there are the camels.

Camels cruise through Muscat, head and hump sticking out of a Toyota pick-up, apparently at home in the fast lane. Or they plod in from the dunes at Bowsher, transporting a be-sandaled passenger along the slow lane of the motorway in the wrong direction.

Suggested Itineraries in Oman

Suggested Itineraries in Oman, from Viator.com

Stop for frankincense in Muscat's Mutrah Souq, and sip fruit juice along the corniche or something stronger at the majestic Al-Bustan Palace Hotel. Picnic under the palms in Wadi Shab en route to Sur's dhow-filled harbor. Sample Oman's best nightlife at turtle-nesting sites in Ras al-Jinz and fall asleep counting stars in Wahiba Sands. Watch the silversmiths at work at Nizwa or buy a carpet on top of Jebel Shams, teetering on the edge of Oman's Grand Canyon.

Oman may not be well-known as a travel destination, but it truly is worth the effort to visit this magical desert kingdom.
