Bordered by the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, the Sultanate of Oman has a total area of approximately 309,500 km2, making it the third largest country in the Arabian Peninsula.

With its magnificent desert, freshwater wadis, secret oases and breathtaking mountain ranges, Oman is full  of opportunities for adventure. Alongside the country’s natural wealth is its rich culture, which blends historical features  with modern infrastructure. In Sur, sailors will visit the Dhow Factory, where artisans employ centuries-old techniques  to build traditional Arabian ships.
