About

Adjacent to the United Arab Emirates and facing the Arabian Gulf, Oman is a jewel of a destination.  It’s an excellent destination for sunshine during Europe’s winter months.

Oman, a diverse land of golden sandy beaches, rugged mountains and magnificent desert expanses, nestles along an impressive coastline fringed by the stunning waters of the Indian Ocean.
