Tours to Oman
According to physicscat, the Sultanate of Oman, located on the border between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, attracts more and more travelers from all over the world every year. Tours to Oman are a real embodiment of an oriental fairy tale.
Clean beaches on the coast of the Arabian Sea, natural landscapes, cultural and historical attractions, as well as a high level of service make the rest in Oman one of the most comfortable and mysterious.
The Oman tour operator in Moscow is constantly changing the program of individual tours, offering tourists a closer look at this multifaceted country, with the historical, but modern cities of Sohar and Muscat. Oman is interesting not only for its history and culture, but also for attractive places for diving and surfing, beach holidays (there are more than 1,700 km of beach lines in the country), luxurious hotels with the highest level of service, spicy Oriental cuisine in elite restaurants and small beach cafes. Oman is a country of contrast, mysteries and luxury! Luxury at an affordable price!

In the east of the Arabian Peninsula, where the desert meets the Indian Ocean, there is a state whose name evokes memories of the fairy tale of the East – SULTANATE OF OMAN.
The Omani civilization dates back millennia and the atmosphere of antiquity, the ruins of ancient cities, fortresses and the preserved pristine nature is amazing. The variety of landscapes of the Sultanate – from mystical mountains reaching 3300 meters above sea level and hiding amazing caves, and the sands of the great desert to endless white beaches, ocean expanses and exotic greenery – are reunited in one beauty.
More than 500 forts, palaces and towers built in various architectural styles testify to different periods in the history of Oman and are imbued with eternity.
Apparently, the rich and highly developed culture of Oman has given rise to the natural friendliness of the Omanis, who pride themselves on their good manners, hospitality and sincerity.
A certain closeness of the Sultanate, which existed before His Majesty the Sultan of Oman Qaboos came to power in 1970, made it possible to preserve the originality of this charming corner of the world. The Omanis still manage to maintain a balance between the past and the future. Over the last quarter of a century, Oman has become a modern state with magnificent roads, ultra-modern buildings, sports facilities, luxury hotels. But, enjoying the insane luxury of hotels, using all kinds of modern services, you will still be imbued with the spirit of peace and tranquility and make sure that the Earth and People are one.
