Overview You can't Edit
Users Assigned: KazmiSituated on the eastern end of the Arabian Peninsula, the Sultanate of Oman is a country within the Middle East which borders Saudi Arabia and Yemen, as well as the United Arab Emirates. It is a country of rapid development in the latter half of the 20th century, a fact which its people are extremely proud of. It is an exceptionally safe place for travelers, with the entire culture having a decidedly Arabic feel to it.
The country is mostly Muslim, which should be taken into consideration if planning a trip to Oman. While the Omanis embrace Westerners and travelers from all corners of the globe, a little respect can go a long way. It is best to avoid wearing revealing clothing, and do not be offended if people looked strangely at you as a foreigner. It is not meant as disrespect, but simply as curiosity, and if you take the time to engage in conversation you will quickly find that almost everyone understands and speaks English.
As a relatively recent addition to the developed world, the network of roads and highways are fairly new. The country is simply ripe for the picking when it comes to tourism. The natural beauty of the landscape ranges from the pristinely-untouched beaches to the desert sands of the Sharqiya, or the mountains that hover over everything in the distance. From the Wadi Ghul (termed the Grand Canyon of Arabia) to the sub-tropical province of Dhofar, to the history of the sultans or the fishing town of Dibba, there is simply too much to take in during just one trip.
The food is exceptional, and is decidedly Middle-Eastern. Street vendors are the best way to taste some of the cultural diversity, but common sense rules apply. Bottled water is a given, and expect extremely hot temperatures regardless of which time of the year you happen to be visiting. Make sure you engage in bartering when purchasing items, as it is a common practice.
