POCKET GUIDE TO LUXURY HOLIDAYS TO OMAN
Set between the rocky Al Hajar Mountains and Arabian Sea, the Omani capital of Muscat (meaning ‘safe anchorage’) is one of the oldest and most charming cities of the Middle East. The sea plays an integral part in city life, sustaining the fishing industry whilst also promising sandy beaches and diving opportunities. Stock up on unique souvenirs at the vibrant and lively Nizwa Souq before heading to one of the many palaces and opulent mosques the city is famed for.
The geological backbone of Oman and the UAE, Al Hajar is one of the most breathtaking destinations on the Arabian Peninsula and is the highest mountain range in the region. A must see on a luxury holiday in Oman is Jebel Akhdar (Green Mountain), renowned for its terraced fruit orchards, in particular its high-quality pomegranates and where the air is delicately scented by damask roses which are also grown there. Jebel Shams (the tallest peak in Oman) is a popular trekking spot with multiple trails offering stunning panoramas.
Explore Nizwa, an ancient city in the Ad Dakhiliyah region surrounded by an oasis of palms. Built in the 17th century, tour the impressive castle of Nizwa Fort before strolling Nizwa Souq, one of the oldest bazaars in Oman. A thriving marketplace that continues to attract locals and visitors alike, wander through the extensive collections of seasonal fruit and vegetables, colourful spices and handmade crafts.
