Oman
The classical images of Arabia are all present and correct in Oman: sweeping desert views and camel caravans, date palm oases and intricate Islamic architecture. But there’s more; visit Oman now and you’re visiting a country in the midst of a renaissance, a place that has risen from difficult times to take its place at the top table of Arabian success stories. The feeling is palpable in the streets of the capital Muscat, in the country’s regional towns, where hard work and enjoyment of the fruits of labour make exploration such a joy. Progressive it may be, but Oman is also fiercely proud of its history, as the restoration of its countless forts and other historical monuments testify. Visiting at least several of these is essential for anyone wishing to gain a proper portrait of Oman. As is spending some time with the locals. The Omani character is one of the country’s central joys: an unfailingly courteous and gracious people, whether it’s in one of Muscat’s buzzing coffeehouses or among the Bedouin in the Wahiba Sands, in a country not short of spectacular sights, the welcome you’ll receive will be one of your most memorable moments.
