Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort

Living in Oman for several years, I have sampled many of the Sultanate's hotels, up and down the country. These are my top recommendations, covering a range of budgets and locations.

Oman is a fascinating country; rich in history, with stunning natural scenery. The region beckons adventurers and history buffs alike to immerse themselves in transformative experiences along the Arabian coast. A country of old forts, crimson skies, oases, lush greenery and endless desert; it should be on any wanderlust bucket list. Intriguingly it has only recently garnered global attention for its natural beauty but I've been lucky enough to be exploring the hiking trails of Oman since the nineties. With this new influx of tourism, I've noticed the once crumbling ancient villages are being restored to their former glory. However, the quiet mountain trails are also becoming busier than ever - so now is the time to visit! I've typed up and detailed the ultimate Oman roadtrip that fits a 10 day schedule. Of course, I would recommend you take as much time as possible and could spend 2 weeks to a month exploring what this beautiful country has to offer. This itinerary has a little of everything: adventure, nature, culture, food and luxury. You can follow this plan to the letter, or use it as a springboard to prepare your own ultimate adventure!
