In general, Oman surprised me with it's beauty! The mix of palm trees, sandy mountains and blue waters makes for an incredible view!

Oman is a peaceful nation, who is friends with most other world nations. Here you will find Iraqi and Iranians, with Israelis and Indians, all living in harmony. I truly enjoy my visits to Oman.
