Things to do in Oman

The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
The rich traditional culture and dramatic landscapes of Oman guarantee a wide range of activities to enjoy. The capital, Muscat, has many facets; when you鈥檝e haggled in the tangle of backstreet souqs and admired the imposing forts and the delicately-styled Portuguese architecture, you can take a boat out into the Gulf to spot dolphins and whales.

Other things to do include hiking through the rugged Jebel Akdar Mountains to visit ancient tombs and forts, a trip to the Wahiba Sands for a night under the desert stars, a refreshing dip in the pools of Wadi Bani Khalid, or, on Fridays, a visit to the traditional Nizwa livestock market.
