What to see in Oman in 3 days
Although now Oman seems to us an unknown country, full of secrets and multiple adventures, it was one of the most famous main ports on the trade route between Asia and Europe. A place where ships from all over the world docked loaded with gold, incense and perfumes. An oasis of coming and going of people from different places typical of the book of ‘The Thousand and One Nights’.
Today, Oman is one of the richest countries in the world and one of the safest in the Arabian Peninsula to travel without problems planning dream visits: huge wadis with refreshing waters where you can swim, hike the highest peak in the area or watch how turtles come to its quiet beaches to have their offspring in a magical ceremony.
But Oman also has more than 500 fortresses, forts and castles, some of them World Heritage Sites, with a lot of history and mimicked between the desert and the oasis, where its ancient cities were emerging. Luxurious palaces and watchtowers also show the warlike past of its tribes.
Although what is most striking about this country is its abrupt nature, especially with its huge wadis, which form deep canyons with cenotes and lakes, or the highest mountains of the Peninsula, with the most incredible views of the country.
