Oman | An off-the-beaten-path travel destination with visa-free access for Arab countries
| An off-the-beaten-path travel destination with visa-free access for Arab countries. The Sultanate of Oman, commonly known as Oman.
🦶Located in Southwest Asia, on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman's southern and eastern coasts border the Arabian Sea, while the northeast faces the Gulf of Oman, boasting a coastline of 3,615 kilometers.
👄The official language is Arabic, and Islam🕌️ is the religion of faith, with a harmonious coexistence with other religions. Locals are generally very enthusiastic and friendly, and communication is barrier-free as they commonly speak English. Oman offers visa-free entry for Chinese nationals for up to 14 days👏👏👏.
💰The currency is the Omani Rial (OMR), roughly equivalent to 19 RMB. The total area is over 300,000 square kilometers, with a population of about 4.8 million.
💲Rich in resources, Oman's economy is supported by industries such as oil, natural gas, agriculture, fisheries, and tourism, beyond just petroleum. The GDP per capita is $20,000.👏👏
♻️Oman has a tropical desert climate, with only two seasons in a year. From April to September is the hot season with average temperatures around 40°C, and from October to March is the mild season with average temperatures around 20°C. However, from June to September, the Dhofar province experiences monsoon climate from the Indian Ocean, bringing heavy rains to the region, making the famous Salalah a summer retreat for Arabs and tourists alike.
❤️According to Islamic law, an Omani man can marry up to 4️⃣ wives, 😍 but this is not commonly seen in practice. In ancient times, Omani youth mostly married their cousins, believing that 'marrying a stranger is like drinking a potion without knowing its contents; whereas marrying a cousin is as satisfying as knowing exactly what you're drinking.'
💝Hospitality is a significant trait of the Omani people, and serving tea and coffee to guests is a customary practice. In Oman, men show great respect to women, with priority given to women in the streets, shops, or offices. It is not appropriate to get close to women or take photos of local women in public places.
💃🏻Oman's festivals and celebrations are vibrant and colorful. The rich national music and traditional dances are treasures of Omani culture. The Royal Opera House Muscat plays a significant role in showcasing the country's cultural exchange with the world of music and arts.
🇴🇲Oman is a mysterious and low-profile country with stunning natural beauty and a wealth of traditional Arab culture and heritage. The golden dunes of Wahiba, the solitude of the empty quarters, the fjords of the Musandam Peninsula, the highlands of the Hajar Mountains, the pristine beaches, and the rich marine life are drawing attention to this emerging Gulf nation destination.
