A KALEIDOSCOPE OF HISTORY, LEGENDS AND ADVENTURES
Oman is a land of rich history and fascinating culture that dates back well over 5000 years.
RELICS & LEGENDS
The relics of one thousand forts and watchtowers stand as sentinels over Oman’s now peaceful landscape. While many have been left in ruins, a great number have been beautifully restored to their former glory and are open for visitors to explore. Nizwa Fort, perhaps Oman’s most famous heritage landmark, is a great example of this. Surrounded by the equally alluring Nizwa Souk, this impressive monument to Omani architecture features mazes of passageways linking rooms of museum displays beneath its grand central tower.
The Omani people themselves also have a well-deserved reputation for being amongst the world’s most hospitable. Their smiling faces testify to their eagerness to share their unique culture with visitors, and most travellers to Oman will have at least one story of remarkable local hospitality.
PREHISTORY
Recent archaeological discoveries suggest that humans settled in Oman during the Stone Age, more than 10,000 years ago.
The Babylonians and the Assyrians settled in Oman because they wanted to control the trade routes connecting Asia with the Mediterranean Sea.
