What to see in Oman in 5 days
Oman is the perfect mix between the mystery of an unknown country, an untamed nature and a history that made it one of the most famous ports on the trade routes between Europe and Asia. That is why a trip to these lands is a surprise every day. Its historic cities like Muscat or its more than 500 fortresses, palaces and castles, some of them World Heritage Sites, fill every corner of these places with legends and tales that have remained unchanged over time in many cases.
But the best thing about Oman is that it is a country full of adventures waiting around the corner: a route through the clouds on the highest peak of the country, Jebel Shams; a refreshing swim in a cenote in the middle of a wadi in crystal clear water, or spy at night or at dawn how the sea turtles choose one of their favorite beaches to lay their eggs and have their young in this paradise.
In fact, one of the activities you can’t miss if you travel to Oman is snorkeling surrounded by these peaceful animals that move relaxedly in front of your diving goggles.
