Oman: New Adventure Destination

Did you know that 21 different species of whales and dolphins have been identified off the coast of Oman? And you can see 5 types of sea turtles of which Green Turtle and Loggerhead species are most common. It is a paradise for scuba divers and snorkelers but with over 400 species of birds even birdwatchers can have a field day. If you are still bored, well you can try finding an Arabian leopard.

This is a good time to see Oman, as it starts to pull the visitors in. Because of long- standing links with Britain, Oman has a conveniently Anglophile attitude: English is widely spoken, our plugs fit their sockets and the benign autocrat who rules the Sultanate of Oman - Sultan Qaboos - still thinks warmly of his days at Sandhurst. And our winter is the best time to see Oman, when the weather is pleasant.

The perfect way to see Oman: driving and camping. Make sure you are carrying the best of everything with you - especially water- and knowing exactly where you're going.
