Oman feels calmer and more traditional than its neighbours. Muscat is low-rise and elegant, and within a few hours you can be in the mountains of Jebel Akhdar, swimming in a turquoise wadi or sleeping in the Wahiba Sands.
The coastline is long and quiet, with turtle beaches and the fjords of Musandam in the far north.
