An ancient crossroads of civilisations and cultures, Oman offers intrepid travellers the chance to engage with an Arab country that’s refreshingly humble. Its varied landscapes leave a treat for the eyes, with unspoiled stretches of coastline strewn with white-sand beaches. Mudbrick villages cling to the side of rocky valleys. Soaring mountain ranges are sliced with bottomless canyons, while the great Wahiba Sand Dunes seem to ripple endlessly into the desert. All this is spread across three huge regions. The northernmost is home to Muscat, Oman’s chaotic capital. Here you can find a myriad of old forts, grand mosques and royal palaces – some explorable on foot, others requiring a little more effort to reach. To escape the crowds, take a day trip to Nakhal Fort, a stone-carved citadel found at the foot of the Hajar Mountains. These towering peaks stretch all the way to the United Arab Emirates, hiding riverbed oases and jagged fjords. In the southern region, the palm-fringed beaches of Salalah make for an ideal retreat after the long, dusty journey down the coast. Accommodation options are aplenty here, with a range of hotel resorts and simple guesthouses to choose from in the bigger cities and coastal towns.

Guest review
Staying at Starry Domes is an experience that will stay with you for life. There is an intensity to the desert, particularly at night, that is sublime; the complete silence, the stars, the endless dunes, and waking in the morning to animal tracks and realising that the silence is populated. Stunning.

We had a wonderful time thanks to the exceptional service of hotel stuff, which made us feel warm and completely at home. We particularly want to thank Nina for her attentiveness and the way she paid attention to every detail. She is so smart and excellent. Other staff such as Saeed, Zeyad, and so on were also always welcoming and helpful, ensuring a smooth check-in and providing valuable information about the local area. We will undoubtedly recommend your establishment to friends and family, and we look forward to returning in the future.
