Other Highlights

Oman is a blend of the new and the old. This is true not just of the city, its architecture, its attitude and customs. For serious and casual photographers there are photo opportunities galore- stark majestic mountain ranges, serene sandy beaches, lush green jungles- all within a wink of a shutter.

Wildlife, rustic villages, majestic forts, colourful natives ... there is inspiration everywhere. Rugged mountains, rising to 3,000 meters, amongst a maze of spurs and wadis, deep canyons and towering cliffs. Getting onto the mountain in a four-wheel drive is easy.
