Oman with its unique and strategic location on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula is one of most attractive travel destinations in the Middle East. A  country that  combines  luxurious  comfort and  warm  welcome a midst  rugged mountains, panoramic beaches and striking desert scapes.

 

Oman’s  history  goes back to the very dawn of civilization. The coastal area  along the  gulf of Oman is believed to have  been the land known to Sumerians as Magan, from which they were importing copper as early as 3,00 B.C.

 

Oman is located in the south eastern quarter of the Arabian Peninsula, bounded  in the north-east by gulf of Oman and south-east by Arabian sea.

 

In 1970, Sultan Qaboos bin Said set out to establish strong diplomatic relationships with  Arab  and  other  leading  countries. Due  to  his  influence, Oman was  quickly welcomed     Into    the   Arab  League. Over  the  years   Sultan  Qaboos encouraged the development  of  a  modern   government  and   by  mid 70s  he had   created various  ministries, whilst  personally    overseeing   the  structure  and functioning of internal security, finance, defense and external affairs.
