Oman, located in the Arabian Peninsula, is a well known tourist destination, famous for its varied climates that provide for diverse holiday experiences. Muscat, the capital city of Oman has the honour of being named the Second Best City to Visit in 2012 by Lonely Planet in addition to being named the Capital of Arab Tourism, in the same year indicating its importance in the Arabian Peninsula and its fame amongst holidaymakers. When in Oman, the activities tourists can engage in are endless ranging from water sports and beachside recreation to trekking, sightseeing and even horse and camel racing! Whatever your heart desires, Oman is likely to deliver.
Most tourists find the beaches of the country the most attractive element and indeed Oman strives to maintain this reputation. For instance, the Aviation Beach is known for its crabs and exotic shells and is thus also referred to as Shell Beach. Marjan Beach on the other hand is complete with coral reefs for those who wish to engage in a bout of snorkelling and Bandar Jissah is iconic in terms of its view and privacy.
However, for those who are staying in the capital city of Muscat, it is the Qurum Beach that cannot be missed. Located on the edge of the city, this beach is pristine in appearance and provides for an amazing day in the sun. This iconic attraction is a great place to unwind and chill out with friends and family. While there are designated areas for picnics where you can enjoy a fun family meal, shade is provided by a number of palm trees making it a well suited coastal escape in which to just sit back, read a book or watch the world go slowly by.
Holidaying in this country is a fun experience thanks to its diversity and staying at an Oman Muscat hotel provides tourists with all the facilities and comforts necessary to make their tour of the city a success. Whether you prefer relaxing at Qurum Beach or taking in the picturesque natural splendour of Daminiyat Islands, there will always be a quality Muscat hotel nearby. For the most reliable and comfortable experience in Oman, opt for a property belonging to Millennium & Copthorne Hotels whose reputation for excellence precedes them.
