Beauty has an address, say the tourism officials in Oman. Of course, there are delightful attractions to navigate on foot, ranging from the tower tombs northeast of Bat to the caves at the foothills of the eastern Al Hajar mountains. But don’t ignore the world beneath your feet. Oman boasts some of the region’s best diving. Around the capital city of Muscat alone you’ll find diverse marine life among at least 11 diving sites at Al Khayran, Al Fahil Island, Dimaniyat Islands, Al Makbara Bay and Al Jissah beach. Oman Air is the national carrier. You can get there via cruise ship or border crossing as well.
