An ancient crossroads of civilisations and cultures, Oman offers intrepid travellers the chance to engage with an Arab country that’s refreshingly humble. Its varied landscapes leave a treat for the eyes, with unspoiled stretches of coastline strewn with white-sand beaches. Mudbrick villages cling to the side of rocky valleys. Soaring mountain ranges are sliced with bottomless canyons, while the great Wahiba Sand Dunes seem to ripple endlessly into the desert. All this is spread across three huge regions. The northernmost is home to Muscat, Oman’s chaotic capital. Here you can find a myriad of old forts, grand mosques and royal palaces – some explorable on foot, others requiring a little more effort to reach. To escape the crowds, take a day trip to Nakhal Fort, a stone-carved citadel found at the foot of the Hajar Mountains. These towering peaks stretch all the way to the United Arab Emirates, hiding riverbed oases and jagged fjords. In the southern region, the palm-fringed beaches of Salalah make for an ideal retreat after the long, dusty journey down the coast. Accommodation options are aplenty here, with a range of hotel resorts and simple guesthouses to choose from in the bigger cities and coastal towns.

Guest review
Perfect location on top of the dune. Large space between domes, giving total privacy. Small number of domes makes it feel more special and not the kind of resort style. The room was very comfortable! Simply amazing experience.

We highly appreciated the hospitality of the Mariott. The welcoming was very warm and a professional check-in. Even we were offered a late check-out (which we didn't need). The hotel fascilities are great, the rooms are clean and the breakfast has a fantastic buffet for all tastes. The staff? Wow, just great - you feel home at all time. The way to downtown Muscat is just 20 minutes.
