Oman Travel News, Guides & Information
The Sultanate of Oman is on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It borders the United Arab Emirates on the northwest, Saudi Arabia on the west and Yemen on the southwest. The coast is formed by the Arabian Sea on the south and east, and the Gulf of Oman on the northeast. Oman is a stunning contrast of deserts, mountains, beaches with all the comforts of a bustling, modern metropolis. Although it remains, in many ways, the most traditional country in the region.
