Author Description

Oman combines enchanting beaches, gigantic cliffs on fjord-like shores, and diving sites with colorful coral reefs. Dolphins can be seen in the waves between the traditional dhows, with which the Sultanate, in centuries past, became a naval power in the Indian Ocean. In Oman's port cities, the first stories about Sinbad the Sailor were written and the scents and colors of her souks are a feast for the senses. Here, that happy Arabia lives on, upon whose reputation the land of incense itself was founded.
