Why does Oman draw foreign visitors?

Oman’s topography is stunning, quite varied in one country. The mountainous regions of Jabal Akhdar and Jabal Shams offer scenic mountain vistas, cooler weather (particularly the former), hiking trails and eye-catching terraced valleys.

Along with this, the country’s deserts and wadis make it more attractive for tourism. The huge dunes of Sharqiya Sands also called ‘Wahiba Sands’, the clear turquoise waters of Wadi Shab and the natural scenery of Wadi Bani Khalid are icons.

Coastal Beauty & Cultural Heritage

Oman’s marine attractions along with its long history of seafaring converge. Known for its green turtle sanctuary, Ras Al Jinz, and the coastal city of Sur, which allows to keep the traditions linked to dhow making and Oman’s ancient seafaring life alive, are also noteworthy.

Visitors continue to enjoy cultural attractions. The historic forts and traditional souqs are truly points of interest for those who fatefully decide to travel to Nizwa, giving them a chance to catch a glimpse of Oman’s architectural and business heritage, and a dose of old Omani city flavor.

Sustainable Tourism meets Modern Luxury

Tourism development in Oman has a blend of traditional and contemporary beauty. In addition to the traditional luxury vacation destination, that explains why boutique eco-resorts, desert getaways, and mountain properties are gaining momentum to extend the country’s luxury scene with the values they support.

Meanwhile, other destinations such as Muscat, Jabal Akhdar, Sharqiya Sands, Salalah and Nizwa are being spotlighted as tourists seek to venture off the beaten path in the region.
