Tour Introduction:

The Sultanate of Oman is a land of stunning natural beauty intertwined with a mix of history and tales. Oman, the Arab World's longest independent state, has embraced modernization and advancement while preserving the key components of its culture and heritage, making it the ideal travel destination for anyone seeking an authentic Arabian experience. The Sultanate's historic heritage and history of seafaring, trading, and discovery are profoundly ingrained in Oman's culture. Long-standing traditions now coexist with modern living, with the latest fashion alongside traditional handcrafted products, jewelry, and even livestock markets around the country. Omanis are quite friendly of visitors from other nations, as evidenced by the great hospitality offered to visitors. Join us on this fascinating journey of discovery and adventure to learn about majestic forts and palaces, vibrant souqs, sprawling deserts and four UNESCO world heritage sites which add greater charm to country’s heritage.
