Oman is a country deep rooted in history. Several millennia ago, Arab tribes migrated east and discovered a land of contrasts -1700 kilometers of coastline, some of the world’s biggest deserts, interspersed with surprisingly lush oasis, and the tallest mountains on the Arabian Peninsula. The BBC’s World Earth Report has stated that Oman is one of the world’s best diving destinations.

Oman has a sense of appreciation for the environment, conservation and respect for time, people and nature. You will sense Oman's sense of timelessness altogether from the ancient city of Nizwa to the towns along the coast to Salalah. You can witness the glorious past in diverse architectural styles of over 1,000 forts, castles and watch towers, and several UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Oman has an intriguing blend of the past and the present. The people of Oman have a lively cultural heritage, which is reflected in the skilled craftwork inherited from past generations. Hospitality is a way of life here in Oman. In this highly commercialized and polluted world, the Sultanate of Oman, the land and people, can truly be described as unique.
