Oman has mile upon mile of unspoiled coastline. Here you can relax and sunbathe or enjoy a host of watersports, including excellent snorkeling and scuba diving. And of course turtle spotting is an attraction.

The capital of Oman, Muscat, was historically an ancient port and fortress town overlooking the Gulf of Oman. Now it is a modern capital characterised by tasteful Arabian architecture. There are a number of world famous hotels here, such as the Al Bustan Palace, the Chedi, and the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
