welcomes you in Oman
Situated between Yemen and the United Arab Emirates , the unparalleled beauty of the Oman landscape was created through vast tracts of time, each epoch leaving its signature upon the magnificent canvas of the country in a great sweep from the silent cathedral of the high desert dunes, across the empty green-dotted plains and over the immense, boldly beautiful mountains to the golden sands of endless beaches washed by blue waters from Africa, Asia and Antartica.
Upon this landscape many distinct cultures have evolved, influenced by nature’s patterns and also by visitors who came over the seas. The architecture of the coast reflects the need for protection as evidenced by numerous forts towers and castles, as well as the abiding faith in Islam expressed in beautiful, simple mosques with coloured domes influenced from afar and traditional Arabian houses in white and muted hues.
Muscat, the country’s enchanting capital city, retains a traditional way of life with an intriguing mix of the old and new. The country’s major industries include oil, natural gas, agriculture and fishing, although considerable attention has been given to tourism in the recent years. Comprising three core districts, namely Muscat, Mutrah and Ruwi, each district functions as an influential entity that shapes modern-day Muscat society.
