Oman Adventure    Oman Adventure

Lying between Dubai and Yemen and across the Arabian Sea from Iran, Oman is overtly pro-British and the perfect starting point for an interest in the culture of the Middle East.

7 days, from $2295 (Tailor made trip). Steppes Travel »  
 

The frankincense trees of Wadi Dawkah and the remains of the caravan oasis of Shisr/Wubar and the affiliated ports of Khor Rori and Al-Baleed vividly illustrate the trade in frankincense that flourished in this region for many centuries, as one of the most important trading activities of the ancient and medieval world.
