You can find the quintessence of the orient in the Sultanate of Oman, the homeland of Sinbad the Sailor and flying carpets. Oman's attractions include a largely untouched coastline, mountains, canyons, deserts and the burgeoning capital Muscat, with its forts and palaces. The Omanis are open-minded and unaffectedly friendly towards strangers - you'll feel immediately at home, even if you don't speak a single word of Arabic.
