About

 Sultanate of Oman

Unlike many other Gulf States, Oman does not flaunt its wealth with massive skyscrapers and an airline that wants to dominate the world. Neither does it feel the need to advertise itself on Premier League shirts for all the world. What Oman does boast, however, is a strong sense of identity and pride in its ancient traditions. Oman is a country of not only wind-blown deserts but spectacular mountains and a pristine coastline like nothing you have ever witnessed.
