Groupon’s Guide To Oman

Guests may take the plunge with a spot of snorkelling in the clement waters of the Omani coastline, and keep eyes peeled to catch a glimpse of the chirping dolphins that frequent its bays.

Moving westward, visit the capital Muscat to behold the majesty of the Sultan’s Palace, the Grand Mosque, and the 16th century fort of Al-Jalali, among other architectural delights and historic landmarks. Similar splendour may be found among the trinkets and curios of the Mutrah Souq, which offers all the bustle and bartering of a traditional Arabic market, and makes the ideal venue for a little souvenir shopping.
