Climate

When you visit me in the daytime, you should wear…

Short sleeve shirtShorts

In the nighttime…Warm clothes in

general

I’m really cold at night but pretty hot in the daytime. It can get up to 95° F at my hottest time of the year. So pack well!!!!

Sightseeing

When you travel to me, you may find one of the most historic trees in the whole world, the Frankincense tree.

If you’re a climber, make sure to visit Jabal Shams, or Sun Mountain. It is the tallest mountain peak on the Arabian peninsula.

Stop at the Royal Opera House in Muscat for a beautiful opera as well as immaculate architecture.

The Ancient Frankincense Tree

Most of my people speak to each other in Arabic.

Hello in Arabic: مرحبا

Hippopotamus in Arabic: برنيق

I am very well known for my oil. It’s my main export!

To come and visit me, you will probably want to take a flight. I suggest one of the most luxurious airlines, Emirates Airlines.

This is the info for a flight to me and back home

And yes,

I know where you live!

When you do arrive you will most likely need a hotel. My favorite is the InterContinental Muscat because is has tennis courts. but most of my people like the Al Bustan Palace.

These are the rates for my

favorite hotel

And this is the Al Bustan Palace

THERE HAVE BEEN INCIDENTS WHERE U.S. EMBASSIES WERE ATTACKED BY

TERRORISTS. TRY NOT TO BRING ANYTHING EXPENSIVE OR

UNNECESSARY CREDIT CARDS SO YOU DRAW NO UNWANTED ATTENTION.

Be careful!

My country is lead by a Sultan. Currently Qaboos bin Said Al- Said is Prime Minister and Sultan. He has ruled as Sultan since July 23, 1970 and Prime Minister since July 23, 1972. I also have an executive, legislative, and judicial branch in my government just like you Americans.

1 US DOLLAR = .384945 RIALS

My official currency is the Omani Rial.

Unforgettable thing, hmmm. . . . .

Oh yeah! Don’t forget that I am home to the tallest mountain peak

on the Arabian peninsula.

You should visit me because I have beautiful mountains mixed in to

sandy coasts all in one country. I’m the best of both worlds. I also have

great climbing and awesome hotels!!!

By the way, in a recent survey, I was ranked 26th out of 156

countries in the world in happiness

“Don’t worry, Be happy!”
