With a rich cultural heritage, buckets of adventure and striking desert and canyon landscapes, Oman is an Arabian gem, and my recent visit has only reaffirmed why it should be on everyone’s lists of places to visit, and sooner rather than later. Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate, is often overlooked as a dusty gateway into the country, however it is home to some magnificent treasures, and is a fantastic place to while away anything from 24 hours up to a week at the beginning or end of a trip to Oman.
