- I had a stopover in Muscat Airport en route from India three years ago, and I spent a few hours looking at the tantalising tourist posters of the country, depicting mountains, mosques, markets, and mystery. That's the place for me! Three years later, I found that Oman really is as shown in the posters and brochures!

- Muscat is a safe and off-the-beaten-track destination in the unstable Middle East. Take a mysterious and charming vacation either on the budget or in luxury. Oman is the Middle East's best-kept secret where the ancient is still surviving and the new is rapidly growing.

- Salalah, Oman's second largest city and port, has more in common with East Africa than Arabia. It also has world-class diving and amazing beaches.
