 "There is just so much untouched area in Oman. Just be able to go in and explore it! I think the most unique thing is the friendliness of the people. The hospitality of the people. I find Omanis are natural at hosting and making people feel welcome and they want to show their country."

DISCOVERING AN OMANI PARADISE
