Why Oman?

Oman is a peaceful and hospitable country, with easy access to the GCC and beyond. Muscat is a clean and well developed capital city, nestling between the mountains and the ocean. The city has abundant modern shopping malls, cinemas, entertainment facilities and beautiful sandy beaches. Approximately 45% of the population of Oman are expatriates hailing from many different countries, giving the nation an engaging and multicultural feel.
