Oman Travel Guide

Oman has a range of fantastic destinations that appeal to any traveller's taste buds. The capital city of Muscat is a classic combination of old and new, thanks to the grand Sultan Qaboo Grand Mosque and chaotic Muttrah Souq. Nizwa is beautiful for its historic fort, its marketplace, and more generally the whole town. Nature lovers love Wadi Shab, filled with emerald pools, or the Hajar Mountains. For those looking for luxury by the sea, Salalah's pristine beaches are the tropical escape. 
 

Oman's exclusive resorts are of the highest degree. Enjoy comfort that simply cannot be beaten at The Six Senses Zighy Bay, nestled quietly on a private beach; or indulge in the over-the-top extravagance that is The Chedi Muscat, renowned for high-end amenities and Arabian elegance. Al Bustan Palace is a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, where one would stay like royalty among gardens so lush and mountainous scenarios so dramatic.

The best time for a visit to Oman lies between October and April; temperatures are moderate and ideally suited for outdoor activities, allowing the traveller to spend time exploring Oman's diverse landscape, from golden deserts to coastal havens.

Private guided tours can be an incredibly intimate experience of Oman's most iconic landmarks. This could be the ancient ruins of Al-Baleed Archaeological Park or taking a journey to explore Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve. It's a rare spectacle to see sea turtles laying their eggs on the sandy beach.

From its hospitality offerings to more, luxury is Oman, including the private dhow cruise up Musandam's fjords and all of their rugged splendour as part of a tour up Oman's jagged coast. Add on a private cooking class so you may discover the secrets behind Omani cuisine or indulge in an exclusive perfumery workshop for the creation of your unique fragrance.

Activities such as glamping in the Wahiba Sands, helicopter tours over the Hajar Mountains, and spa treatments in five-star resorts offer a glimpse of the luxurious side of Oman.

For luxury shoppers, Muscat has upscale boutiques and traditional souks. One can discover designer brands in the Opera Galleria or visit one of Oman's most iconic perfume houses, Amouage. For those in search of handmade jewellery, frankincense, and intricate silverware, the Muttrah Souq is perfect.
