Publisher's Synopsis
"The Sultanate of Oman is a fascinating country of great scenic diversity. It was a land of mystery in ancient times, from where the coveted frankincense came. Since 1970, the beginning of Sultan Qaboos' rule, Oman has been a modern state, while still retaining its traditional Arab lifestyle. Many sights, interesting animals and plants as well as numerous sports facilities on land, at sea and in the air make Oman an ideal place for tourism and vacation."
