A visit to Oman had been on our bucket list for a long time, and we finally traveled to this unique country in West Asia to create this travel guide. If you're looking for a winter sun destination, Oman is the place to be. It's a land of deserts, green wadis, and stunning beaches with luxurious hotels. The capital, Muscat, is surrounded by mountains and is known as the most beautiful city in the Middle East for good reason.

The low-rise buildings, white houses, and beautiful mosaics make wandering here feel like stepping into a fairytale from 1001 Nights. Oman boasts a brand-new airport, and we wouldn't be surprised if it soon becomes the hub of the Middle East. It's great for a stopover, but also for a longer tour. In this travel guide, we've compiled our top tips for you, from the best hotels to sights to tick off your Oman bucket list.
