Oman is one of the
most attractive tourist destinations of the Middle East awaiting discovery. Don’t
wait for the hordes to descend; take a trip to the land of spectacular mountains and
beautiful beaches that stretch forever. While coconuts grow in the southern coastal areas,
roses and grapes are grown in the highlands around Jebel Akhdar.
The country has a
historical past and an old world charm, unlike other Gulf countries where prosperity is
only recently acquired. Muscat, the capital city, is the business hub but has preserved
its 16th century monuments with care. The vacation capital, Salalah, has miles and miles
of unblemished coastline full of beautiful beaches that stretch forever.
