The Sultanate of Oman is a land of oases, deserts, rolling sands, shifting dunes and mountains upon which ancient cities have been carved from stone. A land that boasts the Queen of Sheba, Sinbad the sailor and the Lost City of Ubar buried for Millenia under the Arabian Sands. A country that was heralded for its wealth in Frankincense and from here the ancient Frankincense trail began. Oman is a country where the Bedouin still wander the deserts as they have since time immemorial. A mystical land where eagles soar over the mountain that is home to the Prophet Job, a prophet in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In the mountains nearby live an ancient people whose language predates Aramaic. The age of the language remains a mystery. It is a spoken language with no written form. In these mountains one finds caves decorated with pre-historic art. Mines and distinctive cone like-tombs dating from the Bronze Age feature all over the country. It is a country that has tales of wizardry, magic, jinns,exorcisms and stronge pagan superstitions still abound. Embark on a magical and mystical Arabian Odyssey to the ancient land of Oman
