Product Description
Product Description
With the endorsement and assistance of the Omani government, the only guide to Oman has been thoroughly updated for this second edition. The Sultanate of Oman has always been a trading, seafaring nation. Its ships ranged far in earlier days, and the Sultanate even had enclaves from Pakistan to Zanzibar. Recently, the economy has relied on oil revenues. However, with limited oil reserves, the enlightened leadership has chosen to promote tourism, a natural for a beautiful nation with amiable and hospitable citizens. The Omani people welcome tourists with open arms, and, for tourists, Oman is a veritable treasure-trove of discoveries and new experiences. Remnants of conversations that date to the beginning of recorded history will delight amateur archaeologists. Christians will discover why frankincense was one of the gifts of the Magi and how it came, in all probability, from Oman. Naturalists will find textbook-quality examples of rock formations, minerals and fossils, while animal lovers can see marine turtles nesting in their natural habitat and protected by law and custom. Helpful detailed maps complement the guide's directions, practical travel advice and everything else a visitor would need to know in order to visit the region. Numerous hikes are profiled, as are the many fortresses that dot the landscape. Also included in this guide is the most current information on: sightseeing; guided tours; wildlife; shopping; transportation; accommodations; dining and entertainment.
