Cultural

Oman has a rich cultural heritage that seamlessly blends the old and the new. From the historic forts of Nizwa to the vibrant markets of Muscat, every corner of the country tells a story of its past. In Muscat, all the buildings are still built only in white to preserve the historic culture and identity of the country’s capital. 

Spectacular Landscapes

Oman’s diverse landscapes range from pristine beaches along the Arabian Sea to the dramatic mountains of Jebel Shams. The Wahiba Sands, a vast desert with towering dunes, is also a destination not to be missed. 

Historic Architecture

The architecture of Oman reflects its rich history and Islamic influences. The Grand Mosque in Muscat is a stunning example of modern Islamic architecture, while the historic Bahla Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases traditional Omani craftsmanship.

No Honking!

Are you planning on renting a car during your trip to Oman? If so, be sure not to honk! Honking is strictly prohibited except in the most dire of traffic situations. You’ll find the streets to be pleasant and calm without the constant din of car horns constantly going off, even in cities like Muscat.

Muscat
