Orient Oman
Highlights from the Arabian Nights
Oman, quietly nestled between the glamorous United Arab Emirates, Yemen and Saudi Arabia on the wide Arabian Peninsula, is often overlooked – yet that is precisely what makes its appeal. For many who visit the country regularly, it is exactly this understated charisma that makes Oman so special. Oman is a true jewel in the Middle East, a place that knows how to shine in quiet splendour. As the oldest continuously independent state in the Arab world, Oman has neither the strict laws of Saudi Arabia nor the hypermodern architecture of Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Instead, this country on the Gulf of Oman – opposite Iran – offers an enchanting mix of modern cities and unspoiled nature. Here you will find both the mystical beauty of the Bedouin-inhabited desert and the country’s pristine beaches.
- The international airport is in Muscat, which can be reached by direct flight from parts of Germany.
- Those who want to visit the south of Oman can travel via Salalah airport.
- Entry by land from Dubai is also possible.
- You can take private round trips or self-drive trips with a rental car.
- Especially lovely is the combination of Muscat and the Maldives!
- Oman enchants with its pristine beauty and an atmosphere like something out of the Arabian Nights – from the endless dunes of the Wahiba Sands to the lively souks of Muscat.
- Breathtaking canyons, oases and coastal landscapes offer a fascinating mix of adventure, culture and relaxation.
