The Sultanate of Oman is the second largest country on the Arabian Peninsula.  It is a land of great contrasts; the Indian Ocean coast has an abundance of marine life; the Hajar Mountains rise up to 3000 metres above sea level in the North East; whereas the Rub Al Khali, The Empty Quarter, which can be found to the east of Oman’s border with Saudi Arabia, is the largest sand dune desert in the world.

The people of Oman are very friendly and warm; tolerance and understanding of others is deeply ingrained in Omani culture. Oman is considered by many to be the “Switzerland of the Middle East,” as in a region considered to be volatile by the West, Oman takes the role of peace-maker and have mediated in many international conflicts.

The Sultanate has become a popular tourist destination in recent years but don’t worry, you won’t find any tour buses where we go!  We take our guests well off the beaten track to explore the some of the many sensational landscapes  and immerse themselves in true heritage and culture.

When the late Sultan Qaboos (RIP) came to power in 1970, Oman was all but shut off to the outside world.  Under his leadership, Oman underwent a substantial development program and all its citizens now have access to good housing, electricity, clean water and a superb road system. His Majesty sadly passed away on 10th January 2020 and his successor, HM Sultan Haitham Bin Tariq continues with his good work.
