DESTINATION
Frenetic souqs scented by coffee and frankincense, timeless fortresses, vast deserts, soaring dunes and romantic seascapes, The Sultanate of Oman offers an inspiring diversity of exceptional natural and manmade experiences. On the outskirts of Muscat, sniff the world’s most expensive perfume Amouage where it has been handcrafted for generations, turtle watch at Ras al-Jinz or grab your camera for the colours and characters at the weekly livestock market at Nizwa. Venture into the rolling Wahiba Sand dunes, summit Oman’s highest peak Jebel Shams in a 4x4 or hike to the Sultanate’s remote mountain villages where artisans still craft traditional pottery by hand. Watch equally skilled craftsmen build dhows at the harbour in Sur and visit the Corniche at dusk when the lights come on around Muttrah’s souq, a hive of Omani social activity late into the Arabian night.
