 Oman 

I still wonder how, in the first place, I ended up travelling to Oman. Maybe a combination of adventure desire, needing a warm destination and a last-minute-decision sprint. Ah, those random choices ... It's not really necessary to tell you the truth. What counts is that this ride was a real eye-opener and the beginning of a series of countless road trips there.
¬
Muscat : This capital city is part of the itinerary of any person who travels to Oman. And why isn't it supposed to be? It is home to the magnificent Royal Palace of Qasr Al Alam, the Al Jalali and Al Mirani Twin Forts, and the one-of-a-kind Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, with its marble panels and the world's second largest Persian carpet. Islamic architecture is a sufficient justification for this city to be one of Oman's top places to visit.

Nizwa : One of the easiest places to visit in Oman is the Nizwa Fort of the 17th century, known for its defensive mechanisms such as the honey traps, the strategically formed windows, and the massive cylindrical tower for approaching enemies. For a rare experience, you can also try out the outdoor market or the unusual goat market.

Wahiba Sands : Experience traditional life at Wahiba Sands with the Bedu people, which happens to be one of the best places in Oman to visit. You can launch the Wahiba Sands tour from the town of Ibra, where you can enjoy a camel ride and dune bashing on the sand dunes all around you.



Ras al Jinz : The turtle reserve at Ras al Jinz, where sea turtles are preserved and protected, is one of the most picturesque places to visit in Oman. You can also watch the Turtles hatch on the beach from the months of May to October. This place is utterly divine and should be on your summer list of top places to visit in Oman.

Jebel Akhdar : Jebel Akhdar is the highest point in Oman and is mostly made of limestone, although the cooler temperature will be a welcome change during your holiday here. This place is suitable for outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing and trekking, among all the places to visit in Oman.

Oman Tourism

Salalah : You have to visit the town of Salalah, which boasts incredible architecture as well as many shopping opportunities, when searching for Oman tourist locations. Between June and August, you need to visit this beautiful place when the monsoons turn this place into a lush green paradise with waterfalls and streams. During these months, Salalah has become one of Oman's most amazing places to visit.

Fort of Bahla : An oasis called the Bahla Fort, which is a masterpiece of the 13th century, lies within the city of Bahla. The walls of this fort reach up to 7 miles in length and are nothing less than utter heaven, one of the best spots to visit in Oman. The local tribe are pottery craftsmen who earn their living at the local market by selling their handmade souvenirs.

Masirah Island   :Masirah Island, which can be reached through a small ferry ride, lies just off the main coast of Oman. There are a few small towns in Masirah, a few villages that mostly include fishing, and Jabal Al Humr's highest mountain top, which are some of the interesting places to visit in Oman. However, to experience the life of turtles that will make your holiday a memorable one, add camping at the beach.

Al Jinn Majlis : A deep shaft leads to the most fascinating sights to be seen in the world in the Al Sahrqiya region of Oman. If you're looking for an offbeat adventure, Majlis Al Jinn is one of the best locations to visit in Oman. Majlis Al Jinn, one of the world's second largest caves, is said to be the meeting place for the local spirits that still live there. Much Spooky?

Dayqah Dam Wadi : Another attraction which is a must on your list of places to visit in Quriyat, Oman, is the Wadi Dayqah Dam. There's no relation to the view from the dam and you have to be there to see it for real. The highest dam in Oman is part of an 8-km-long lake in the midst of the surrounding peaks. You can never find a more amazing view of a man-made project and this must definitely be on your list of places in Oman to visit.

Grand Mosque of Sultan Qaboos : If you only have time to visit one place in Muscat, I will suggest a visit to the Grand Mosque of Sultan Qaboos. It hosts the second largest hand-woven carpet and a stunning crystal chandelier, truly majestic. I have to admit that I have visited a number of mosques before, but this one is undoubtedly my favourite one.

Places to visit in Oman

Souq Muttrah : That's the heart of Mascatel. Lively, colourful and somewhat noisy, if you want to get a sense of the typical Arab market environment, it's the place to be. With the exception of having something and everything available to buy. Just some of the typical Omani products are Dishdashas, Khanjars (curved daggers) and frankincense that would make cute souvenirs to bring home. Don't forget your negotiating skills to show off!

Wadi Shab : Oman is also renowned for its wadis (canyons), in addition to its immense deserts. A beautiful place to visit in Oman, Wadi Shab is ideal for a day trip to avoid the noisy environment of Muscat. It will take you just one hour to walk up to the first turquoise water pools, which are easy to reach. As a surprise awaits you, swim until the end of the last tub. I'm not going to ruin it.

Sinkhole of Bimmah : This sinkhole is a curious thing to stop by on the way to Sur and Ras Al Jinz (turtle watching). Expect lots of sightseers and almost nothing around it. Swimming in the sinkhole water is feasible, but beware of the many paparazzi around the water tank. It's very spectacular, so don't expect to spend more than an hour there. It's totally worth seeing.

Factory at Sur Dhow : Ancient Arabic vessels used for fishing and commercial activities are Dhow boats. It's still used in Oman to this day and is a sign of Omani craftsmanship. Many travellers just pass through Sur without stopping on their way to Ras Al Jinz (turtle watching). Don't make the same mistake and just stop looking!

Wadi Bani Khalid : A great canyoning destination is Wadi Bani Khalid. Not as beautiful as Wadi Shab, the tourist section of the canyon is the only one accessible by car, family-friendly and with on-site facilities. After an early morning turtle-watching at Ras Al Jinz, it is great for spending a relaxing day in turquoise water pools. Recommended, but instead of going to Wadi Shab or canyoning, if you only have the time to visit one wadi and are slightly fit.

Beautiful places in Oman

Wahiba's sands : Oman is largely surrounded by deserts, and arguably the most visited desert in Oman is the Wahiba sands desert. Possibly because of its location and its many Desert Night Camps that offer a wide variety of activities (day trip from Muscat). It can be a nice experience to spend a day dune-bashing and wild-camping in the Wahibas. While it is not my favourite desert in Oman, as it is on the way to other amazing locations, I would recommend it.

Dunes of Sugar : This is my absolute favourite desert in Oman. Oh! A jewel! It features untouched white sand dunes accessible only by a 4-4 vehicle. Do not use any equipment or tourist camps of any sort in the desert. This is for the more adventurous travellers out there who want to break from the North's tourist locations.

Al-Khaluf : If you want a fishing village to visit, then Al-Khaluf is the real deal. Don't expect any stores, museums or other tourist traps. This is as genuine as it gets. The coastline along Al-Khaluf is also worth exploring, in addition to the village itself. The most stunning pristine white sand beaches I have ever seen are included. Only imagine: crystal blue water and billions of pink shells as opposed to pure white sand ... Paradise.
