Oman is different... Today many people when they hear about the unrest in many countries of the Islamic world tend to think it twice before planning a trip there...

Well, we visited Oman recently and we were pleasantly surprised not only by the total absence of turmoils, but by people hospitality, by the beautiful natural wonders (desert, mountains, beaches), by the well preserved traditions, by the good level of infrastructures (roads, airport, hotel, etc.).

In the past the country has been very important because of incense production and trade. Then it became strategically critical for the Portuguese routes to India. After decades of decline and isolation, starting from 1970, with th new Sultan Qaboos, Oman has steadily improved both from an economic and social viewpoint. By flipping through the pages of this book we hope you'll get an idea of this rather unknown country. Thanks for your attention!
