13 stunning photos that show why Oman is the next big destination for luxury travelers
Oman's Ministry of Tourism recently announced a plan that would make the tourism industry a major source of income for the country by 2040. The plan calls for the creation of 80,000 rooms - in the form of hotels, vacation homes, and integrated tourism complex rooms - throughout the country. Luxury brands like Anantara Hotels, which has already opened two resorts there, are claiming the country's culture and unique topography are a huge draw for travelers.
Open to tourists since the 1980s, Oman's peak travel season runs from October through April, when its Mediterranean climate averages a comfortable 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Between its beaches, sand dunes, and gorgeous architecture, Oman is a beautiful sight to see. Members of the photo-sharing app EyeEm have captured these stunning shots during their visits there.
