Oman Hotel Guide

For anyone interested in exploring the Middle East, Oman is a fascinating destination full of culture and history. Many travellers are surprised to learn that this single nation is home to large cities like Muscat, mountain ranges, beaches, and historically significant architecture. With Oman hotels that range from five-star luxury to cheap hotel deals in Oman, accommodations can fit into any budget.

The Capital City of Muscat

The most popular destination in the country is Muscat, which boasts a breathtaking walled city in the very centre that is home to a royal palace. This palace is where Sultan Qaboos, the ruler of Oman, lives. Travellers aren't allowed in the royal palace, but they can tour the Al Jalali and Al Mirani forts, which surround and protect the palace building. Visitors will also want to see cultural and historical attractions like the Omani French Museum, the Qurum National Park, and the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. One of the best accommodation options is a cheap Oman hotel deal right near the walled city, but cheap prices can also be found on Oman hotel packages in resorts overlooking the Gulf of Oman.

Breathtaking Scenery in the Hajar Mountains

The Hajar Mountain Range is the tallest on the Arabian Peninsula, and it stretches from Oman all the way into the United Arab Emirates. This may not be the most popular destination in Oman, but it is one of the top places to enjoy breathtaking views of the natural landscapes in the Middle East. Travellers can book tours to the Hajar Mountains from Muscat, or they can make reservations in advance to enjoy special discount rates. The area also offers some wonderful Oman hotel deals for budget travellers.

Shop in the Historical Markets of Nizwa

More than 1,000 years ago, the city of Nizwa was the capital of Oman. Today, however, it is much smaller in size and population than Muscat. It is best known for its 17th-century architecture and its impressive military fort. Travellers often come to Nizwa in order to shop in the local souks. Popular souvenirs include frankincense, nuts, and spices. It is possible to find rooms at some of the most luxurious hotels in Oman right in Nizwa, and the rates are typically more affordable than in the capital city.

Oman is an underrated destination in the Middle East. With coastal landscapes, incredible history, and amazing traditional architecture, it can be a fascinating place to explore.

"This was one of the best vacations we had. The place is a small paradise in the beautiful landscape of Muscat. Yet, the most impressive was the staff - friendly, forthcoming, professional, well organized, excellent communication skills, and always ready to help. The Harvest restaurant team - Sonya, manager Saddam, Yahia, Emmanuel, Pathum, Ank It, Wiam, and all the others - they made our stay pleasurable and relaxing experience. Rich variety of food with choice for every taste. Superb pool with impressive architectural solutions and even friendlier team of pool guys ready to help. Thank you. "
