Sightseeing in Oman

Combining the old and new, the man-made and natural, there is plenty to see and do in Muscat and further afield in Oman. You can sleep under the stars among the rolling dunes of Wahiba Sands or explore the aromatic wonders at the historic factory of Amouage, an international luxury fragrance brand founded in 1983 in Oman. For those wanting to experience Omani life, why not laugh with the locals during the live animal auction on Friday mornings at Nizwa Souk, or marvel at the Omani craftsmanship of traditional wooden dhows in Sur Harbour?

While Oman offers these and many more ancient wonders, the Sultanate also looks ahead, with The Royal Opera House Muscat promoting Arabian arts and culture while welcoming acclaimed international artists into the Omani community.
