Oman has long become a true hotspot for tourism in the Middle East. A consistent expansion of the country's infrastructure, the introduction and development of a gentle tourism concept, and the preservation of the identity of the state and the people in Oman play an important role. It is different from countries like the United Arab Emirates, where tourists only find a colorful world of replicated superlatives, but no identity or originality. In Oman, you can get to know the culture and history of the people in the country. Overall, Islam in Oman is more cosmopolitan and progressive than in any other Arab country. The continuous improvement of the country's international connections also played an important role, as most tourists travel by plane. The main airports in the country are Salalah Airport and Muscat Airport. If you are interested in traveling to Oman, you should first inform yourself about topics such as flight times and possible direct flights. There are only a few direct flights to Oman, many airlines fly from Germany with a stopover in Oman. However, those who plan in advance and inform themselves accordingly can easily reach two destinations during a vacation.

The image is shaped by a few luxury hotels while simple hotels or guesthouses are rarely seen. A study by the World Economic Forum (published in April 2017) ranks Oman ninth in terms of tourism growth. The character of gentle tourism remains, as the hotels adapt to the traditional image of Oman a...
