Oman

 

Indeed Oman is one of the safest and warm countries that embraces its visitors with open arms. Best for a family holiday, the Sultanate of Oman is a treasure trove of desert beauty, opulent oasis and far stretching coastline. Despite the fact that Oman is steadily moving forward with the modern times, the country has successfully retained its heritage of Bedouin traditions and Omani spirit, thereby preserving their culture. On one hand there is robust infrastructure and on the other Oman also prides in its sleepy fishing towns, gigantic sand castles and enormous mountains. But the one thing that the country really boasts of is the sense of identity and pride of its ancient past as well as its embracing and highly educated society.
