For centuries this magnificent and diverse land was referred to “Arabia Felix”. The true reason for this is thought to be largely based on the warm and hospitable virtues’ of Oman’s people.
A land stepped in history, dating back over 5000 years.
Today, although blessed with modern infrastructure, the land of Frankincense and Myrrh has retained its sense of hospitality and friendliness. The stunning natural beauty of Oman’s majestic mountains, undulating contours of the Sharqiya desert (Wahiba Sands) and the Rub Al Khali (Empty Quarter) the surprising lush green wooded hills of Dhofar and a pristine underwater world of coral reefs where rare and tropical marine life flourish, offers visitors a truly special and unique experience.

Khasab - Known for its picturesque beauty and solitude, Khasab offers adventure for those inclined towards that side. With crystal clear aquamarine waters offering great diving and snorkeling options and the clean beaches making an ideal choice for beach games and activities, the nearby jebels offer the perfect perch for hiking and rock-climbing. The inlet of sea snaking through ravines creates a feeling so special to this place.

Salalah - Salalah is the capital of Oman's southernmost Dhofar region. It is often considered to be the "second city" of the Sultanate, although some of this designation is probably due to its distinction as Sultan Qaboos' birthplace.
The Dhofar region is famous for its khareef (monsoon), and the Khareef Festival is an annual event here. Many locals will in fact be quite surprised to see non-Arab visitors at other times of year.
Around Salalah town there are the UNESCO World Heritage sites associated with the Frankincense trade. Perhaps the most attractive is that of Sumharam set in the picturesque Khor Rori a creek opening out into the sea.
