Like many neighboring countries, Oman has long strengthened its economy through oil exports. However, its reserves in the sultanate were not unlimited, and therefore the powerful of the Omani world decided to develop the tourism business. Such a turn turned out to be beneficial for Russian tourists, who are exploring new horizons on the world map. Today, Oman's resorts still cannot boast of a large number of hotels and a variety of entertainment, like the neighboring UAE or Egypt, but local residents, under the leadership of the Sultan, are actively working to resolve this issue.
For or Against?
It would seem that what is easier - to buy a tour in the usual beach direction and not tempt fate, going to new unexplored lands. But a real traveler differs from an ordinary tourist in that there are no obstacles for him that he would not like to overcome:
- Is there no direct flight from Moscow to Muscat? Not a problem, because you can get to the capital of Oman with a transfer in Dubai, and at the same time it is profitable to run through the local duty free - huge and diverse, like a whole city.
- Does a Russian need a visa to fly to the resorts of Oman? And this is not a question, an entry permit can be obtained both at the country's embassy in Moscow and in the transit zone of Muscat airport.
- Is there a specific dress code required in the Sultanate in public places? But the safety of tourists in this country is at such a level that you can walk alone at night around the city, completely without putting your property at risk.
Metropolitan things
The international airport is located in the capital and main resort of Oman, Muscat. It is called an oasis in the desert, the city is so beautiful and green even in the midst of a hot summer. While vacationing in Muscat, tourists choose one of the city's sandy beaches, each of which is equipped with free umbrellas and sun loungers.
It is easy and simple to diversify your beach vacation in the capital of Oman with interesting excursions. For example, visit the old part of the city with the Sultan's palace, or bargain to your heart's content at the eastern bazaar of Mutra, which is considered the most colorful in the entire Arabian Peninsula.
In the edge of the Queen of Sheba
A luxurious beach holiday can also be organized at a resort located in the southern part of the country. Once upon a time, the palace of the Queen of Sheba stood in Salalah, and today an excursion to the place of the once magnificent chambers is organized with pleasure by numerous tourist offices.
The beaches on the shores of the Indian Ocean are sandy, and the water is especially clear. The swimming season lasts all year round, but during the calendar summer, monsoons bring constant drizzling rains to this resort in Oman.
