On gentlemenswatch.com tips 333travel<\/a> countries to put on your bucket list. With this time focusing on Oman, the hidden gem of Arabia.<\/strong><\/p>

Oman is a fascinating country with a wide variety of spectacular landscapes. Steeped in rich history, a trip here feels like a voyage of discovery through the ages, always framed by warm hospitality. The friendly Omanis proudly display their country, inviting you to enjoy setting your own pace.<\/a><\/p>

Special architecture<\/h2>

Located on the Gulf of Oman, the capital Muscat is embraced by foothills of the rugged Hajar Mountains, which contribute to a sense of conviviality and security. The city's modernisation follows a traditional plan, preserving its historical aesthetic. Muscat owes its nickname White Capital to its beautiful architecture and light-coloured buildings. While strolling through the old city, you will be surprised by colourful souks, the bustling boulevard by the harbour and the stately cultural wealth.<\/p>

Deserts and a fresh dip<\/h2>

From the urban beauty stretch both the majestic mountains and the rolling sand dunes of the desert; nature leaves a clear mark on every experience in the Sultanate. Imposing forts tower over atmospheric towns, hidden wadis with cool streams beckon to take a refreshing dip, dirt roads along dunes and cliffs are fantastic for a 4WD adventure drive<\/a> and idyllic mountain villages surrounded by date palms are photogenically built along historic watering systems.<\/p>

Insider tips<\/h2>

The boundary between the wonders on land and the many colourful underwater world is formed by a jagged coastline. In the north, high peaks and cliffs rise above the sea, followed southwards by a varied d\u00e9cor of hidden coves, rocky peaks and nature reserves. The further south, the longer and wider the sandy beaches stretch. And at the very southernmost tip, you are even welcomed by tropical palm forests, lagoons and geysers. Oman is a true paradise for lovers of variety, with an array of exciting activities.<\/p>
