Oman is one of the premier destinations in the Middle East with a quickly increasing fame among tourists looking for something different and unique. Here we have listed some of the best things to see & do in Oman, from spending nights beneath glittering stars to shopping at top malls.

Visit the Al Hootah Cave:

Expected to be 2 million years old & lately open to tourists, Al Hootah Cave is absolutely unique in Oman. The famous cave features an opulent ecosystem that includes 4 lakes. A discovery in 1980 discovered that an endangered species of blindfish dwelled in the central lake of the cave. They acclimatized to the dark ambiance by losing their scales, pigments, and eyes.

There are also sightings of spiders, bats, water beetles, snails and mollusks. Tourists can voyage into the cave through a boat with a controlled lighting system as to not disturb wildlife living in the dark. It’s a remarkable geological site, and even though photography is banned inside the cave, it’s an unforgettable experience for the entire family.

Star-Gazing:

Oman is well-known for having some of the most impressive stargazing sites. Starting with Jabal Al Akhdar 2000m above sea level, the night sky is evidently noticeable with no obstacles from buildings, and most resorts there have telescopes tourists can make use of, or they do their own stargazing by camping out.
