Until very
recently the Sultanate of Oman remained closed to travellers, preferring to
retain its cultural traditions intact – intriguing reports circulated of
stark mountain ranges, dramatic mediaeval forts, the vast expanses of the
Empty Quarter and a pristine 1,500 km coastline with offshore island
archipelagos. We spend two weeks
exploring this fascinating, still relatively unknown country, where camels,
dhows, and colourful markets trading in gold, goats and frankincense are
still very much part of daily life. High in the Jebel Akhdhar (Green) range
we walk on mountain paths with incredible views; the Damaniyat
islands offer snorkelling with turtles; and 4WDs take us into the dunes of
the Wahiba Sands to encounter the Bedouin, and the Empty Quarter to visit the
“Lost City” of Ubar. |
