Oman

Long known as the hermit of the Middle East, the Sultanate of Oman is slowly emerging from its shell, revealing a land of friendly people, dramatic landscapes and lots of forts. The capital, Muscat, lacks the nouveau-riche feel that typifies much of the rest of the Gulf, and although Oman remains, in many ways, the most traditional country in the region, it's often more outward looking than it's given credit for. Oman’s wadis and mountains make excellent landscapes worth seeing apart from the traditional background and ethnic setup retained by the people since centuries.
