Oman is surprisingly diverse, from pristine beaches to endless sand dunes. Start your exploration in the historic capital of Muscat, where travelers can visit the desert terrain of the Empty Quarter or the seasonal khareef in Salalah where the southern shores turn green. Alternatively, visitors can journey through the towering mountains and maze of turquoise waters in the fjords of the Musandam peninsula.

The mountainous landscapes of Oman are extraordinary. From the rugged peaks of the Al Hajar range and the Jebel Shams to the Grand Canyon of Arabia and the scenic riverbed wadis dotting the jagged countryside, Oman is a wonderland of topography. For a wildlife-centric experience, visit Ras al Jinz, the nesting place of the endangered green turtle where visitors can watch these gigantic sea creatures lay, nest, and escape to the safety of the sea. After experiencing the culture of the cities, take to the sea for dolphin watching, excellent snorkeling, and sailing on a luxury dhow.

The desert is the superstar of Oman. Here, travelers can enjoy the starry skies, endless expanse, and quiet nights from the comfort of the Desert Nights and Magic Nights bedouin-style tented camps. Wake in the morning to find an adventure playground of dune-bashing, sand-snowboarding, and wadi barbeques.

The luxurious hotels of Oman are a highlight of any stay. Perched high on the Musandam Peninsula, a dramatic coastal cliff towers over the sea at Six Senses Zighy Bay, a favorite Remote Lands resort featuring hiking, rock climbing, and even microlight flights for the adventure seeker. The Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar is in a scenic location nestled on the Saiq Plateau overlooking ancient Nizwa, an ideal mountain retreat perched on the rim of a vast plunging canyon where you can experience both nature and culture. During green season in Salalah, Remote Lands' experts particularly recommend the private pool villas at the Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara.
