At the tip of the Arabian Peninsula lies Oman, a country straight out of the famous Arabian Nights novel. From its gleaming Omani-style architecture to its otherworldly landscapes of crystal clear fjords, golden sand dunes, scenic wadis, and rugged red mountains, it’s clear to see how this part of Arabia inspired the ancient authors. Experience the sultanate’s old world charm in Muscat, a modern capital caught in the past with its century-old market of Muttrah Souq, opulent Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, and Portuguese-commissioned Al Jalali Fort. Extend the trip to the old capital of Nizwa, where 17th-century buildings and heritage sites stand strong amidst the oasis of palms.
