Recently, the combined tours of Dubai - Oman are developing very actively.
Many Dubai tour operators organize such trips. In this case, the issue of visas to enter Oman is decided by the travel agencies themselves. Combined fjord and skerry tours in the northern part of the Musandam Peninsula are especially recommended. These places are striking in their beauty, no worse than the Norwegian coast. Travel agencies will also help you organize an excursion to the homeland of frankincense - the mountain resort of Salalah, as well as swimming on the dhow along the green strip of the coastal Battina valley, lying between the spurs of the mountains and the ocean. The guests of the sultanate are struck by the atmosphere of antiquity created by the ruins of ancient cities and preserved pristine nature.
The variety of landscapes in Oman ranges from mysterious mountains reaching 3300 m above sea level and hiding amazing caves, to the sands of the white desert and snow-white beaches, ocean expanses and exotic greenery. This is one of the few places in the world where you can see sea turtles laying their eggs in anticipation of future offspring. Mysterious mountain gorges, magnificent waterfalls, flowering valleys, palm, date and coconut gardens, papaya and banana plantations, as well as deserts with mysterious oases and traditional Bedouin settlements, will charm you. The history of Omani civilization goes back thousands of years. Many facts indicate that it was from here that the legendary Sinbad the Sailor came from.
Several times since the 13th century, the sultanate became the center of the union of the Gulf countries. (By the way, until 1971, the territory of the current UAE was also part of Treaty Oman). Several hundred forts, palaces and towers built in various architectural styles testify to those legendary times. The rich and highly developed culture of Oman has given rise to the natural friendliness of residents who are proud of their hospitality and sincerity. They still manage to maintain a balance between past and future.
