Oman: Ancient Civilization and Modern Development on the Arabian Peninsula

Located in the southeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman is strategically located between the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean, and its capital city, Muscat, is an attractive blend of tradition and modernity. As a monarchy, Oman is known for its stable political environment and tolerant culture, with a history dating back to 2000 B.C. The frankincense trade once made it rich. Oil and gas are the mainstays of the economy, but in recent years the government has actively promoted diversification, with tourism, fishing and logistics on the rise. Visitors can explore the desert wonders of Jebel Shah, visit the thousand-year-old fortress of the ancient city of Nizwa, or feel the Arabian flavor at the Sultan's Palace in Muscat. Oman is a unique travel destination in the Middle East for its friendly people, pristine natural beauty and deep cultural heritage.
