If you haven’t been to Oman yet, oh man you need to GO! (Sorry.)<\/p>\n

But seriously, we’re truly lucky to have such a culture rich nation right next door, filled with genuinely friendly people and endless outdoor activities.<\/p>\n

It’s a six hour drive or a one hour flight; either way it’s not that far from here and a relatively cheap journey too, with return flights usually coming in around the AED1,000 mark.<\/p>\n

Here are 13 amazing places worth fitting in:<\/h3>\n

1. Mutrah souq – Muscat<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
