Focusing on the needs of both the traveller and the expatriate worker this new Bradt guide will be the definitive book on travel to and within Oman, providing the most in-depth and up-to-date information possible. The modern coastal city of Muscat provides a gateway to scuba diving, dhow cruising and turtle watching, whilst the ancient inner regions provide ideal terrain to take a 4WD through wadis or desert. Some of the most luxurious hotels in the Middle East are in Oman, so this guide is suitable for up-market travellers and backpackers alike.
