| The peaceful and tranquil Sultanate of Oman occupies the south-east part of the Arabian peninsula facing on to the Indian Ocean. This geographic location has long given the sultanate a natural proclivity towards trading with the African continent, as well as serving as an entry point for visitors to Arabia. Today the capital city Muscat is an architectural gem with a marked continuity of style and design that sets it apart from many other modern cities in the Middle East. There is a strong emphasis on a respect for traditional Arabic and Islamic styles which marries well with ancient fortifications. Not surprisingly Oman has developed an upmarket tourism sector. Its people are also widely held to be among the most friendly and hospitable in the Middle East. http://www.ameinfo.com/oman/
