Oman

Oman

Oman is still a not a top-of-mind destination when thinking of your next holiday. However it is a unique country in the Arab Peninsula that deserves to be called the Happy Arabia. There is much to discover though and here are a few tips: Muscat the most beautiful Arab city is decorated with 37 km of flowers and beautiful villas. There are also sleepy villages in the desert plains and  on rocky cliffs or the lively province of Batinah interwoven with lush gardens that source their energy from the UNESCO listed unique water system called Falaj. Souks that are so typical for Middle-East are not the same everywhere and the one you will find in the city of Nizwa carries a truly unique and magical atmosphere. There you will meet local artisans calmly handcrafting ceramics, warming silver, decorating heavy furniture or selling cattle like in the old days. Spirit of purity and open mind is present everywhere and in a way it is what defines contemporary Oman.

Who would have believed that there were only 15 kilometers of asphalt roads in the country at the beginning of 1970s, missionaries took care of people's health at a single clinic, Muscat was closing its city gates each evening like in Medieval times, and the former ruler personally issued visas to the few foreigners who dared to visit the country. Since then everything has changed thanks to a vision of a single man his higness Sultan Qabus who was brave enough to lead the country on a new path. Now just 40 years later we can only marvel at the results. Add to this the gifts of nature that gave Oman its dramatic mountain ranges, colorful deserts, caves, canyons with lush greenery and picturesque streams, virgin beaches that are home to turtles, a subtropical paradise in the south, strong geysers, beautiful waterfalls, pristine beaches covered by coconut trees and an all year round pleasant weather. Sounds amazing, doesn't it? The magnificent fragrances of the Omani perfumes seem to frame this beautiful traveler's dream. Reach out to us and allow us to help you discover all of Oman's beauty. It is definitely worth it.

Location

The beautiful and sensual Oman is located on the southeastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula lined by the Gulf of Oman which is the gateway to the Indian Ocean. With a total area of 309,550 km2 Oman is a large country where domestic transfers are a relatively time-consuming matter. Either way Oman is still a little-discovered country where you can spend a fabulous holiday, connect with nature, recharge your batteries or visit the neighboring United Arab Emirates. The UAE's modernity is extremely contrasting to Oman's traditionalism and rich nature.

Flight time from Prague to Muscat with transfer in Dubai takes approximately 8 hours.

Weather

While in the northern region of Dhofar, Muscat and its surroundings summer temperatures range around 37 degrees celsius, in Salalah the landscape is ruled by monsoons and fog from June to September and the landscape is unbelievably green which attracts mainly tourists from the surrounding states. So if you want to visit the northern part of the country travel there from October to May. If you want to unwind in the Southern subtropical state of Salalah you can do so all year round although during summer some quick showers may occur.
