Oman's landscapes are breathtakingly diverse and dramatic, ranging from rugged mountains to pristine beaches, vast deserts to verdant wadis. The towering Al Hajar Mountains provide a stunning backdrop to the capital city of Muscat, while the Sharqiya Sands, also known as Wahiba Sands, offer a glimpse into the country's vast desert expanse. The Jebel Shams mountain range, also known as the "Grand Canyon of Arabia," boasts stunning vistas and rugged hiking trails. The country is also home to picturesque wadis, such as Wadi Shab and Wadi Bani Khalid, with turquoise pools and waterfalls hidden amid the rocky terrain. Oman's varied and awe-inspiring landscapes make it a true natural wonder.
