Oman: Mysteries, Stories, and Interesting Places

For Browsing

Oman is one of the most beautiful countries in the Persian Gulf. It is distinguished by very picturesque and diverse nature. Here you can see high mountains, roaring waterfalls, savannas, tropics, and even fjords. But Oman can amaze you not only with its amazing nature. In this extraordinary country, the originality of the Arab people has been preserved: it is the only country in the Middle East that has not succumbed to the influence of modern civilization and has maintained a high standard of living. People interested in the culture and customs of other peoples will find it very interesting here because the country has a huge historical and cultural heritage. However, young and energetic people craving entertainment, new emotions, and adventures may not like it very much, as there are only a few nightclubs in the country, and entertainment options are also scarce.
