“India and Oman continue to work together in the tourism sector, facilitating easier movement and exchanges between the two nations,” said Salim bin Mohammed Al Mahrouqi, Minister of Heritage & Tourism, Oman. Noting that Indians are number two in terms of tourism influx to Oman, he sought further improvement in tourism ties between the two countries.

H.E. Issa Saleh Al Shaibani, Oman’s Ambassador to India, announced that Oman has officially launched its latest tourism initiative, the ‘Journey into the Heart of Oman’ campaign, scheduled to commence in January 2025. The campaign will attract participation from various business organisations from India and other countries, aiming to showcase Oman’s rich tourism potential and diverse offerings.

The coastlines of Oman provide a myriad of exhilarating opportunities for those seeking to plunge into a mesmerizing aquatic wonderland. With year-round waves and pleasant summer temperatures, Oman stands out as a premier surfing destination in the Middle East. Venture to the southeast coast, where Salalah offers excellent surf that crashes onto the sandy shores of the Arabian Sea. Oman’s contemporary marinas provide training, and most beachfront hotels offer rental equipment for windsurfing and kiteboarding. While kiteboarding is still a burgeoning sport in the country, it promises an adrenaline-pumping adventure at al-Sawadi, Duqm, and Masirah Island. Whether you are a snorkeler, an experienced scuba diver, or a beginner eager to dive in, Oman’s underwater realm will leave you spellbound. Discover vibrant reefs, dramatic drop-offs, and coral-lined fjords. Mussanah Marina, the jewel of Oman Sail at the Millennium Resort Mussanah, offers an array of sailing options from dinghies and yachts to powerboats. Whether you prefer skippered charters or bareboat rentals, adventure awaits. Set sail to the stunning Damaniyat Islands off the Batinah coast or embark on an island-hopping journey to uncover hidden beaches nestled in tranquil, secluded bays.
