LONDON: British newspaper Daily Mail has called the landscapes of the Sultanate of Oman scenic and ideal for visitors to embark on exciting road trips.
According to a new report published by the daily, the population of the Sultanate of Oman is about five million, slightly larger in area than the United Kingdom. The Sultanate has had long-lasting relations with Britain and is an attractive destination for visitors heading to the Gulf region.
Oman is home to distinctive topography with places known for its one-of-a-kind sandy terrain and the elegant Hajar Mountains. Additional to the roads passing through the breathtaking rocky landscape, the occasional diagonal lines of vibrant green cover are a must-see for travellers.
