Sultanate of Oman: The Dream of Old Araby
Like the smell of frankincense in the warm desert breeze, the smell of rare spices, the chatter of the souks, or the roaring silence of the desert? Then, the Sultanate of Oman is for you. This Jewel of the Gulf, with its wadis and deserts, its beaches and mountain areas and its forts, old souks, weekend village markets and camel racing has caught the imagination of almost all who come to its shores.
This fascination with Oman did not only start in 2008 when Vogue chose it as the destination of the year. Even as early as the 1st century, Muscat, Oman's capital city has already been acknowledged as a notable port by the Greek geographers. Muscat lies on the Arabian Sea along the Gulf of Oman and is close to the strategic Straits of Hormuz. Presently, it is the capital of the Sultanate as well as its commercial center. But the other areas have something unique to offer as well. Thus, it is not surprising that almost everyday, there is a cruise ship anchored in Muscat or Salalah, another port city.

Here is a good map to guide your trip

There are many unique and interesting places to see in Oman as many of these places still have traces of the old Arabic culture with markets still selling things the age old way, villages still really unaffected by major digital westernization and people living their traditional ways.

Visiting Oman
Easy and fun

Visiting Oman is easy. You can get a visa at any entry point. Roads are excellent so getting around is not a problem. There are many things to do such as shopping in the souks where you feel transported into the ancient times, visit the cattle market in Nizwa where you can enjoy watching locals showing off their beautiful goats and cattle, go dune bashing, visit some of the tribes in the mountains, enjoy snorkeling and fishing or just sitting in the beach sun bathing.
Things to do in Oman
Which would be at the top of your itinerary?
There are so many things to enjoy in Oman. We were there for three months and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not tourism but work. My husband had a consulting job there with the Ministry of Higher Education. On weekends, we had a great time exploring. The roads are first class.
The Sultanate of Oman Places to See
The Port of Muttrah
In Muscat, Oman's capital city

Go around the port district of Muttrah. Stroll along Mina Sultan Qaboos and admire the yachts and ships moored at Muscat's main trading port. Visit the traditional bazaar, Souq Muttrah and Sour La-Al-Lawatiah, a small community of houses surrounded by an old wall. Make sure you buy spices, perfume, incense and frankincense to take home. Just going around the souq transports you to the traders of antiquities who ply their goods in exactly still the same way.

Seaside Hotel in Oman
Al Bustan Palace

Stay at the Al Bustan Palace where you feel you are surrounded by rocks much higher than you are. Then, as you go down, you see the ocean expanding its horizin in front of you. Enjoy Al Bustan's breathtaking foyer with Omanis in native costumes preparing frankincense.Burning frankincense seems to transport you to a magical place. Al Bustan has its own beach and garden. If the Al Bustan price is too much for your budget, there is the Crowne Plaza and the Shangrila, which are also along the beach. You can enjoy the sunset from your room. The views awaken the painter in you. I did several paintings when I was there.
We also enjoyed walking in the beach from the Crowne Plaza to the shopping center about a kilometer away, have coffee on the way and enjoy mixing mixing our own unique perfume in one of the bazaars in the shopping center.
Al Alam Palace and His Majesty Sultan Qaboos of Oman
The Sultan of Oman Who Camps in the Desert

Al Alam Palace is the ceremonial palace of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos. Visitors are not allowed inside but the outside is quite impressive. It is surrounded by the Mirani and Jalali Forts built by the Portuguese in the 16th century.
As traditionally practiced by his predecessors, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos still continues to visit his people today, even those in the remote villages. Camping in the desert most of the time, he listens to his people about their lives and concerns.
Omanis love the desert. It is their life. Watch them hold the sand as they sit in the desert.

Nizwa
The Old Fort

Nizwa is an old fort. This fort is a monument to the Omani architectural ingenuity in the Ya'rubi era. Trudge through the Falaj Daris, a world heritage site that may date back two thousand years. A falaj is a channel that brings water, often over many kilometers, from underground sources or springs to support agriculture and domestic use, .
Don't miss the souk in Nizwa. It is bustling with vendors selling everything from meat, fish, fruits and vegetables to spices, dates, gold and silverware. Nizwa is renowned for its silver jewelry, which is considered to be the best in the country. You can watch Nizwa's masters make Khanjar (curved daggers worn by the Omani men with their ceremonial clothes). If you are there on a Friday morning, go early and zip to the far end of the souk which hosts, in the shade of date palm trees, a lively livestock market. You will see local farmers parade their cows, goats and sheep to be inspected, auctioned and sold to the highest bidders. This is a hands-on event...no corrals...you and the goats are eye to eye and you have never seen bargaining like this before! This scene provides not only amusement, but an opportunity to observe local traditional customs. And watch out...you can become part of the good-tempered bargaining.

While in Oman, cruise by dhow
Oman has magnificent coastline

Cruise by dhow along the magnificent coastline. The dhow is the traditional boat used in Oman. Stop at Bandar Khayran with its calm waters and isolated beaches to swim and snorkel. Lots of fish and turtle action so take a mask. Or just have a picnic and walk or lounge in the beach.
The Vast Desert of Oman
Go Dune Bashing

Visit the desert. The most renowned Omani desert is Sharqiyah Sands (formerly Wahiba Sands) with its dunes rising to nearly 200 meters. Go dune bashing, and see how loud you really do scream in terror! Sleep out in Barsti huts, Omani BBQ under the stars, ride a camel and eat with the Bedouins. Your hotel can arrange this for you.
A Winter in Arabia
By Sara Wheeler
This book describes the 1937 journey of Freya Stark through the Handramaut, part of today's Yemen. From the drawing rooms of London to the solitary tent, Stark was a guest. Luxury and hardship, loneliness and intimacy are opposing forces that Stark grappled with. Her words sums up what she wants to tell us: "There are few sorrows through which a new dress or hat will not send a little gleam of pleasure, however furtive."
A Winter in Arabia: A Journey Through Yemen

Salalah, City of Antiquity in Oman
The Perfume Capital of Arabia
Visit Salalah. Referred to as the "perfume capital of Arabia," Salalah is a city of antiquity, boasting both the ruins of a fortified town Sumharam, an important port from 100BC-400AD, and the resting place of the Koranic prophet Ayoub, Job in the nearby Jabal Qara. The Port of Salalah, located approximately 15 km to the southwest of the city, is one of the major entry points to India, the Middle East, and Africa.

Camel Race in Oman
Jockeys Under 5

Watch a camel race. Omanis take pride and full care in raising their camels implementing strict methods of taming and nourishment. Camels bred for racing undergo intensive training in order to compete at national and international levels. Camels are given names reflecting their respective abilities and endurance. Jockeys are drafted for their size (or lack thereof) and some make their professional debuts around five years old. The races are normally held on public holidays and during National Day celebrations.
Oman's Luban Route
Go through ancient cities

Take the luban (frankincense) route. This route comprises the ancient cities of Al-Blaid and Shasr, Khuwr Rori, and Wadi Dooka, locations that collectively contributed to the flourishing of frankincense trade for many centuries.
