A land that boasts the Queen of Sheba, Sinbad the sailor and The Lost City of Ubar buried for millennia 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 Tomb of 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 that are decorated with prehistoric 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 and magic, jinns and exorcisms. Embark on a magical and mystical Arabian Odyssey to the ancient land of Oman.
