Oman Day Tours

In the Grand Mosque of Musca,t there is a beautiful hand-woven carpet, which was the largest in the world until the Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates took the record from it. This is poignant because Oman does not boast many "firsts" or "greats" in a region bent on grandiloquence. What it does boast, with its rich heritage and inclusive society, is a strong sense of identity, pride in an ancient past of incense trading, and confidence in a highly educated future.

For visitors, this offers a rare opportunity to experience the Arab world without the distorting lens of excessive wealth. Oman's low-lying cities retain their traditional charm, and Bedouin values remain at the core of Omani hospitality. With an abundancabundante of natural beauty, from dramatic mountains, windswept deserts, and pristine coastline, Oman is the obvious choice for those seeking the modern face of Arabia yet wanting to feel its ancient soul.
