The Ultimate Oman Road Trip
Curated by
Rhonda Martin
A vast majority of travelers tend to forget about the Middle East when it comes to deciding where to go for their next trip. Let me tell you, you shouldn’t skip out. Despite some destinations in this region being an obvious no-go zone due to political conflict, Oman makes the cut for both adventurers and luxury travelers to visit. It is considered to be the “Switzerland of the Middle East,” there’s ultimately no history of conflict and the Omani people are the most welcoming and kind that I’ve met throughout my personal travels. The landscapes are otherworldly, and the food is a delicious combination of Indian, Bengali, Persian and Omani.
