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. |
