The Sultanate of Oman is a place of breath-taking natural beauty. With mile upon mile of pristine beaches, majestic mountains, ancient forts and the endless sands of the desert, the diversity of landscapes offers up an incredible diversity of experiences too. As the oldest independent state in the Arab World, Oman has embraced modernisation and progress while retaining the core aspects of its culture and heritage. The Sultanate boasts five UNESCO world heritage sites just waiting to be explored. Omanis are deeply proud of their country and are eager to share it with visitors over an Omani coffee. We partnered up with Explore Worldwide, Oman Air and three Nikon ambassadors to see Oman through their lens. Find out more about their experience below…
