Beach Hotels in Oman
Time to simply call your soul your own; forget everyday stress by strolling on the beach, indulge in daydreams over an exotic cocktail, with a view of the endless sea. The hotels on the coast of Oman are ideal places to relax and unwind.
Though some beaches have restricted access, beaches in Oman are generally not private property, but public spaces; therefore, with few exceptions, there are no signs saying "For hotel guests only." Please keep in mind that topless and nude swimming and sunbathing are not permitted, and that swimsuits are gladly seen only at the beach or pool, but not indoors or in public.

What makes this travel guide so special? This book is a product of the long-term personal friendship between the authors, Mr Georg Popp and Mr Juma Al-Maskari and their continuing fascination with the Sultanate of Oman. Combining their insights from European and Omani perspectives, they have produced a guide which is as much about culture and history as it is a practical guide for planning your itinerary.
