OMAN:
AN OASIS IN ARABIA DESERTA

The Sultanate of Oman is a hidden gem of an antique land that boasts a rich history, unspoiled natural scenery, and some of the most genuine and hospitable people you'll ever encounter. Famed as a center of frankincense production, Oman also once ruled over Indian Ocean trade with an empire stretching from Zanzibar to Baluchistan, the evidence of which is reflected today in its diverse peoples and cultures. In addition to being a destination for history buffs, Oman is an outdoor adventurer's paradise with almost 2,000 miles of pristine coastline, hiking and trekking trails galore, and lush river courses secreted away in its desert canyons. If you're yearning for an authentic Arabian experience with monumental sand dunes, peaceful oases, formidable desert fortresses, great people, and time-honored traditions, then Oman is the destination for you. 

The following sample itinerary is for a 10-day excursion showcasing Oman's historic, cultural, and natural treasures.
