Oman - Contemporary Style and Conservative Tradition

Experience spectacular mountains, pristine coastlines and golden desert dunes, Oman is a breath of fresh, Persian gulf sea air in comparison to the flashy Emirate neighbours of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It makes the perfect destination for those looking for the modern face of Arabia whilst still immersing yourself in its traditional soul.

Omani hospitality is unrivalled, with its locals known for their friendliness, generosity and welcoming souls, and with Oman’s year round sunshine, it makes the perfect destination for your next holiday.

Oman makes a fantastic destination for every traveller, and at Made to Measure Travel we would love to create your bespoke Oman itinerary, at no extra cost to you! Contact us to find out more!

Marvel at the beautiful natural sights of the ‘Norway of Arabia’ – the Musandam Fjords, with its steep red rocks of the Hajar Mountains that plunge into the blue waters of the Arabian gulf. Explore the quaint fishing villages or snorkel with diverse wildlife in the warm crystal clear water.

Venture through the ancient ruins of the country’s forts and castles, providing a well-constructed and much more vivid picture of the rich history of this part of Arabia.

Embark on a sparkling sunrise dolphin watching trip from Muscat and admire in awe as numerous pods of dolphins congregate beside your boat, who take delight in somersaulting out of the water directly in front of you! Why not hire kayaks and paddle amongst them in their natural habitat?

Experience the magical turtle nesting site at Ras al Jinz. Observe some of the most critically endangered species coming ashore to lay their eggs in a timeless ritual, in the exact spot where they were born themselves, sometimes thousands of miles away from their feeding grounds. You may even be lucky enough to watch the hatchlings scrabble their way out of the pits in a dash to freedom!

Adventure into the Arabian Peninsula for some wild camping. Pitch your tent on the white sand between the sea and a lagoon, with a flamboyance of flamingo’s becoming your neighbours. Spend days swimming in the warm sea, birdwatching or having barbeques of local fish from local fisherman.

Immerse yourself in the opulent Muscat’s Grand Mosque, with its intricately inlaid arches, columns of blue and white marble and 14m high crystal chandelier that has over 600,000 glittering crystals.
