Oman's rich heritage and folklore is preserved in the many museums around the capital areas and on site at various locations, as a proud reminder of days gone by. History in Oman lies all around you. From the ancient ramparts of Bahla Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the carefully preserved Jabrin Castle dating from 1670, or the art of dhow building that has come down through generations of Omanis, relive the glory of an ancient civilisation. Explore a land where Shahrazad's stories from '1001 Nights' come alive and visit archaeological sites steeped in mythology. The friendly Omani people add to the welcoming ambience of the country and the authentic souks provide an excellent experience of the local way of life.
