Oman is located at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula on the Arabian Sea. The capital Muscat is located about 5300km away from Berlin. Oman‘s neighbors from north to south are the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Despite its proximity to these sometimes troubled and unstable states, Oman is an oasis of peace and security. The people are exceptionally friendly, even downright cordial. Oman offers everything for a perfect vacation. The Arab culture, wonderful desert and coastal landscapes, mountains, green oases, small fishing villages and lots of beach, sun and sea. The climate is mild in winter. Very hot in summer though.

Those who make a round trip in Oman can rely on a good infrastructure.
Oman is a sultanate, meaning it was ruled by Sultan Qaboos for many years. The latter attached particular importance to the preservation of tradition despite the oil wealth and modernization. Bedouins are as much a part of Oman as modern cars.

I love living in Oman. The combination of friendly people, the culture and the modern influences is a dream. Especially as a woman, I feel very safe here. The common prejudices are not confirmed at all.
