Middle East

Oman is an independent sultanate on the Arabian peninsular. Covering a strategic location on the Arabian Sea, Oman was coveted by the great powers which came and went. In the late 1400s the Portuguese occupied much of the territory including the capital, Muscat. Almost 100 years later, The Ottomans drove them out and occupied the region for some 100 years. Oman is not widely travelled to by Westerners, yet offers a rich heritage and stunning natural beauty.
