Fly to Oman with Qatar Airways and step into a country where tradition and modern life are fascinatingly intertwined. Located on the south-eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, this enigmatic nation is known for its rich history, dramatic landscapes and warm hospitality.
Begin in Muscat, the capital, where striking landmarks such as Al Jalali and Al Mirani forts stand guard over the harbour. A short journey inland takes you to Bahla Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with kilometres of stone walls dating back to the 13th century. Exploring its towers and passageways gives you a glimpse into Oman’s past.
Beyond the cities, the scenery is spectacular. Hike through the canyons and wadis of the Al Hajar Mountains, or head to the coastline that stretches for hundreds of kilometres. Here, you can relax on pristine beaches where endangered turtles come ashore to nest. For a slower pace, go on a traditional dhow cruise and watch the sunset from the water.
After admiring natural beauty, savour Omani food, a reflection of the country’s trading heritage. Try spiced rice dishes served with lamb or seafood, or taste halwa, a dense sweet flavoured with saffron, rosewater and nuts. Pair it with a rich, local coffee for an authentic treat.
