The active adventurer looking for a place in touch with its roots, hears the beckoning call of "Ahlan Wa Sahlan!" or welcome, upon arriving to Oman.  Multifaceted Oman has plenty to offer the inquisitive traveler: gorgeously breathtaking scenery, endearing wildlife, captivatingly divine mosques and, of course, bustling souks, where haggling for a desired object is expected and not for the faint of heart.  A bartering secret or two provided by our experienced Middle East vacation specialist will help you to acquire that mysteriously aromatic, perfume within its delicately beautiful bottle.  For example, it helps to know that a good response for the kindhearted, yet determined vendor's question of how much your are willing pay, is best answered with, "Zero" being sure to clarify that you don't need the item, i.e. putting your playful foe on the defensive.

Oman's mountainous coastlands help contribute to the country's reputation as having the best sights in the Middle East. These coastlands serve as the home for the grandiose Bimah Sinkhole, as well as for unforettable sea green turtles laying eggs at Ral al Hadd.  A coastal drive along this region is strongly encouraged, as is a visit to the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, Old Muttrah Souk, and the indescribably lively and richly abundant fish market.
