Discover the Sultan's Palace in Muscat.

Oman is perhaps the most accessible of the Gulf Arab countries, but also one of the most unassuming, less well-known and less news-worthy than most of its neighbours.

A holiday to Oman will vary according to your personal interests, how much time you would like to spend relaxing at the country’s wonderful beaches and according to your budget. In general a first-time visit would include some days in the capital, Muscat, followed by a tour around the interior of the country, followed by some further days in Muscat before your departure.
