Nature in Oman

The tropical capital of the south, where khareef monsoon mists turn the Dhofar mountains green above banana-fringed beaches.

A historic dhow-building port on Oman's east coast, and the gateway to the turtle-nesting beaches of Ras Al Jinz.

Capital of the Musandam exclave, dubbed the 'Norway of Arabia' for dhow cruises through sheer fjord-like inlets.

The 'Green Mountain' of the Hajar range, terraced with rose gardens and orchards above dramatic canyon rims.
