Oman

Oman is a destination for a different holiday, a very safe country with a lovely climate, friendly people and delicious food in the Arab tradition. After an 8-hour flight from Heathrow you will be enjoying winter sunshine, October to April. Not commercialised like Dubai but you can enjoy the beaches, featuring top hotels with pools for families and spa facilities for couples. Take a bus tour or hire a car for a countryside adventure, taking in the scenery and historic sites. Ramadan is strictly observed in Oman.
