Introduction: The Sultanate of Oman on the Gulf of Arabia, is a land steeped in history with a fascinating culture. It is a country of dramatic landscapes, with rugged mountains, arid deserts, lush green plains, and beautiful beaches. We begin in the historic city of Muscat and explore ancient forts and castles, colourful souqs, historic villages, wadis and the mountainous area around Jabal Al Akhdar. We relax at a resort in Barka, before our journey continues to Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. In Dubai we head off into the desert to explore the dunes and enjoy a BBQ at a desert camp. We see the sights of the city, wander around the fascinating spice and gold souqs, and sail into the sunset on a dhow cruise.
