Oman is a sultanate on the Arabian peninsula, bordered by The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. We were on a cruise when we visited, so we didn’t get to explore as much of the area as I’d have liked. We stayed in the northern part of the country, only stopping in the cities of Khasab and the capital city of Muscat. This northern area is very rugged and arid – which makes for some beautiful scenery when you look at the juxtaposition between the rocky hills and the sea! We heard amazing things about the lush southern area around Salalah, but we didn’t get the chance to visit.
