Of dramatic sand dunes and sweeping landscapes, Oman is definitely one of those off-the-beaten-path destinations that shouldn’t be missed. That’s particularly true if you visit its vast deserts. Or if the sweltering heat isn’t your kind thing, Oman is also one of the most popular diving destinations. It wouldn’t be difficult to enjoy a unique and personal experience here without jostling for space with hordes of mass tourists. As you venture across the country, you’ll get to see different faces of the country and its cultures from desert to mountain dwellers. To get a taste of Oman’s busy life, make a trip down to its its busy hub Muscat, or soak in her natural wonders at her many nature reserves with natural parks, botanical gardens or even turtle reserves.
