Compare Oman Hotels

Oman is a popular destination in the Middle East because of its great mix of historical architecture, diverse cultures, and modern luxuries. More than one-third of Oman's residents were born in other countries in the Middle East and Asia, which has led to a diverse society. Al Ghubra, just outside of Muscat, is a thriving city that's home to a large expat community. Most of the hotels in Al Ghubra are right on the coast, next to sand dune beaches.

Visiting Oman

Oman is located along the Arabian Peninsula off the Arabian Sea, and the country borders Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates. The north coast region borders the Persian Gulf and has a subtropical climate and sprawling beaches, as well as luxurious Oman resorts. Southern Oman is hot and tropical, while Central Oman is arid desert. Don't miss a trip to the capital city of Muscat on the Gulf of Oman. Muscat has lots of opportunities for outdoor adventures, including scuba diving off the coast, kite surfing, and sailing. You can also take a day tour from Muscat to the Sharqiya Sands and watch the sun set over the massive desert sand dunes. In Muscat, most people that dine out eat at one of the many restaurants located in Oman resorts and hotels. In other regions, restaurants are less common. You can usually grab food to go at one of the many shawarma, or shaved meat, stands that are commonly found near busy roads. Throughout Oman, traditional coffee shops are popular places for locals to gather.
