While our time in Oman was short, it was a wonderful trip. We love Middle Eastern culture. From the history, to the food, to the architecture, we are enthralled by it all. Unfortunately, as you know, many Middle Eastern countries have a bad rep, sometimes due to unstable governments and sometimes for no reason at all. We won’t delve into it here. 😊 But, when we had the chance to visit Oman, we eagerly embraced the opportunity. Many aren’t aware (we weren’t either), but Oman is kind of like the Switzerland of the Middle East. It has a foreign policy of neutrality and a very stable government. The sultanate ensures the wellbeing of its citizens through generous social programs and the quality of life is high. Oman was a little oasis of serenity and peace, tucked away on the Arabian Peninsula between the neighboring glitz and glam of the UAE and the civil unrest of Yemen.
