Oman is one of the most amazing places I've ever visited! Truly spectacular in every way possible, I dream daily of going back there for another visit. So what makes it so special?

​

 It's a desert, so expect sunshine almost all year around. That means it's seriously hot. Stay hydrated, bring enough sunblock to last your trip and make sure you're always wearing a hat outdoors.

​

People in Oman are religious and have a deep respect for their traditions and culture. Be mindful of their conservative nature when visiting public places. And take a moment to look at the houses—honestly, ornate, colorful, and exotic, they remind me of wedding cakes!

​

Arabic is the official language in Oman. However, people also speak English. As Oman is a melting pot of Arabs, Hindi people, Pakistanis, and others, Hindi, Swahili, and Baluchi are widely spoken.

​

The Omani cuisine usually consists of traditional bread, rice, beef, chicken or fish, special tomato or Omani sauces and various types of salads. Scrumptious.

​

Palm trees can be seen everywhere in Oman. People have their own palm tree farms, and they are planted alongside every road.

​

Oman is famous for its frankincense trees. They export the spice around the world. So if you're wondering what that smell is, well, now you know. 

​

Historically, the land is so rich. don't forget to seek out some of their many ancient, ruined cities to visit. It's like stepping back into another world...
