The Sultanate of Oman was eternalised by Laurence of Arabia.
With stunning sand dunes and rugged mountains dotted with ancient fortresses, the coast stretches 1,000 miles south from the capital Muscat. Some of the UAE best hotels are found around Muscat, the ultimate new winter sun holiday destination (summer is low season with temperatures reaching 50°C).
Capacity problems with Dubai have created opportunities for other parts of the Emirates, especially Abu Dhabi.
While Dubai is busy creating man-made islands, Abu Dhabi is developing natural islands where holiday resorts will have an eco-tourism focus. Holidays to Abu Dhabi have gained more attention due to the ultra-luxurious Emirates Palace, claimed to be the most expensive hotel ever built... to date.
