The Sultanate of Oman provides a unique environment with its
diversity of landscape from a largely untouched coastline, some of
the oldest mountains in the world, wide pristine deserts to the
burgeoning capital Muscat, with its forts, palaces and old city wall.
It provides a living example where development and tradition can
co-exist hand in hand. In a country renowned for its security,
stability and the spirit of tolerance of its people, visitors are
guaranteed to hear many Ahlan wa Sahlan (you are welcomed) from the
ever smiling locals.
