Oman Cultural Highlights

Sunset at Oman's Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque.

Many community members of U.S. Embassy Muscat enjoy traveling throughout Oman and getting to know the wonderful sights and experiences the Sultanate has to offer. Featured here are some of the photographs taken by Embassy personnel from their travels in Oman.

We hope these images and stories inspire you to explore the Sultanate as well, whether you are an Omani, or an expatriate who happens to be living or traveling here. We are grateful to live in such a beautiful country, with so many opportunities to explore, and get to know the enchanting landscapes, striking architecture, and friendly people of this land.
