Oman's main tourist destination

Scenically nestled between mountains and ocean, this region is a delight to visit

Oman's capital, Muscat has a character quite distinct from its neighbouring capitals. Stretching almost 25 km along the Omani coastline, Muscat is a true taste of Arabia retaining its historical charm and traditions despite modern influences - buildings are required to reflect tradition with a dome or Mashrabiya (lattice window). Muscat is dominated by the old corniche, a picturesque stretch of seafront - Mutrah, and nearby quarter of Old Muscat which is fringed with 18th century buildings, colourful mosques and Portuguese forts, dominated by the imposing 17th century Mutrah Fort. The result is an attractive city sprawling with authentic charm, and if you're looking to experience everyday Omani culture visit the Mutrah souk where you'll find everything from leather goods to plastic alarm clocks - get ready to indulge in a spot of haggling. Or you could just enjoy the opulent hotels and the city's sand-fringed coastline and more modern shopping facilities.

Oman's capital and surroundings provide modern getaways with the perfect mix of traditional culture, luxurious retreats, scenic mountains and ocean landscapes. Tourism in Oman is on the rise, so now is the time to visit.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
