Destinations in Oman

  • Set in the Omani interior, Al–Dakhiliyah Governate has eight wilayat (provinces): ancient khaki-hued strongholds in the shadow of the Al Hajar mountain range’s saffron slopes. Brave a 4WD and you’ll find ghost villages and greenery smudged wadis.
  • Perched on the northernmost tip of the Arabian Peninsula in the Strait of Hormuz, this remote and spellbinding Omani exclave is all lunar sandscapes, rock-strewn plateaus, ancient valleys and cliff-bound fjords.
  • Muscat means ‘safe anchorage’ and if you're looking for a calm and cultured shelter from UAE excess, this should be your port of call
  • A sandy-soled city on Oman’s Arabian coast, Salalah’s frankincense-scented charms shift gold to green with the seasons.
