Located in southwest Asia, and at the mouth of the Persian Gulf is the Arab state Oman. The region is an insightful fusion of old Arabia and the modern world. The easternmost point of the Arabian Peninsula is Ras al-Jinz and is home to hundreds of green turtles – here you can lounge around in the sun and enjoy the remote Sharqiya Beach.
If you're flying to Seeb International Airport, it's handy to know you're only 20 miles from Muscat which is the capital of Oman. Hiring a car from Seeb International Airport, Oman means you can drive straight to Muscat and check out its most notable landmarks. Enjoy a trip to Omani Aquarium and Marine Science and Fisheries Centre.
If there's only one museum that you visit while in Oman, make sure that it is the Land of Frankincense Museum – it's definitely one of the most important museums in the whole country for its honest take on Oman's history. Rent a car from Seeb International Airport, Oman and travel to Al Baleed where the museum is located. The site is on the UNESCO World heritage List as an archaeological and tourism park. It was originally an ancient Islamic city and the home of the frankincense tree which was the main export in ancient times.
