Oman: luxury in the desert an oasis of opulence.
This was the land once explored by the late, great Sir Wilfred Thesiger, a quintessential English adventurer who sought out the secrets of Arabia before it was transformed forever by the oil beneath her sands.His mission, 70 years ago, was to share the hardship of the life of the Bedu. In doing so, the explorer said he found a “freedom unattainable in civilisation; a life unhampered by possessions". Oman's transformation in the past 40 years from a desert backwater to one of the most forward-thinking Arab nations in the Gulf has brought with it expansive tourism ambitions.It is no longer the country the explorer remembered as "one of the very few places left where I could satisfy an urge to go where others had not been".But it still has the power to astound.
