Oman is Arabia in its most original and refined form: a sultanate where centuries-old forts, fragrant souks and genuine Bedouin hospitality set the tone, rather than glittering superlatives. The capital, Muscat, nestles between the deep blue Arabian Sea and the rugged Hajar Mountains, whose peaks rise above 3,000 metres.
To travel here is to discover a wealth of quiet pleasures: the golden glow of the Wahiba Sands at sunset, emerald wadis in the hidden highlands and the solitary fjords of the Musandam Peninsula. Luxury here means space, silence and nature of untamed beauty.
Highlights
01
The Hajar Mountains and Jabal Akhdar
On the "Green Mountain", terraced rose gardens and pomegranate orchards flourish at lofty altitude. Cool mountain air, dramatic gorges and ancient villages make the region the sultanate's most spectacular retreat.
02
Muscat and its maritime heritage
The grand Sultan Qaboos Mosque, the lively Mutrah Souk and the harbourside corniche tell the story of Oman as a seafaring trading power between Africa, Arabia and India.
03
Desert, wadis and coast
From the dunes of the Wahiba Sands to the palm-fringed wadis and the pristine fjords of Musandam, Oman unites an exceptional diversity of landscapes within a compact area.
