Oman is a military enthusiast's paradise, boasting a unique blend of ancient forts and modern military might, with its elite Special Operations Group (SOG) and Air Force capabilities, not to mention its strategic location at the crossroads of the Middle East, making it an intriguing and formidable force in the region.

As I explored the majestic souks and mosques of Muscat, I was struck by the warm hospitality and rich cultural heritage of Oman, where the ancient meets the modern in a harmonious blend that left me enchanted and eager to return.

Oman is a treasure trove of contradictions - where ancient forts and mosques coexist with modern skyscrapers, where traditional souks meet luxury malls, and where the warm hospitality of its people makes you feel like you're home, despite being in the middle of the desert.
