As a tourist destination, Oman offers diverse natural landscapes, including tropical vibes in Salalah, uniquely beautiful Musandam and the mountain terrain in Jebel Akdar. All these destinations are worth a week of planning and long drives, but if you’re looking for a weekend escape, head to the nation’s capital, Muscat. The lifestyle is much more laidback than UAE residents may be used to, which can be a welcome change on a break.
