Omanis are friendly and polite people. If you are lucky enough to be invited into an Omani home, you will be offered ‘kahwa’, a coffee-like drink flavoured with cardamom, and dates or ‘halwa’. ‘Lokhemat’ an accompaniment to the ‘kahwa’ is also eaten to offset the bitterness of the coffee. These are cardamom flavoured balls which are deep fried until golden then served with a sweet lime and cardamom syrup.

If you are looking to get away from the city, then a trip to the ancient capital of Nizwa is a must. Nizwa was declared the capital of Oman during the reign of Imam Sultan Bin Saif Al-Ya'arubi in the 6th and 7th centuries. Nizwa Castle is nestled between luscious date palms and stands as a powerful reminder of Nizwa's resilience throughout Oman’s long history. The most striking feature of the castle is the circular tower that soars 115 feet above the body of the structure.

Oman is also home to some of the world’s most amazing wadis. They come to life with heavy rain and become lush oases of palm trees, grasses, and flowering shrubs. Be sure to visit these wadis in groups or with a guide, as sudden downpours can lead to dangerous flash floods.

With a coastline of 1,700 Km, Oman offers some of the cleanest, most stunning beaches in the world – perfect for weekend picnics and barbeques. Many coves are perfect for snorkelling and have fairly gentle shelves which are suitable for children. The coves on the Hallaniyat Islands and the Dimaniyyat Islands for instance, offer snorkellers the chance to see beautifully coloured tropical fish and unusual hard and soft corals.
