I'm hopefully off to Oman in a couple of months. Anyone been? Any recommendations on places to visit, tips on things to do or kit to take etc?
It's going to be hot, damn hot!

WelshTriffid said:There's a mountain region down south near the port (can't remember the name but its the only hilly bit of the country) which has its own ecosystem. You drive up the mountain and all of a sudden the desert stops and your surrounded by lush vegitation, very wierd experience. Apart from that its just miles and miles of sand with a straight road running through the middle of it (it is perfectly straight as I've tied my seatbelt through the steering wheel and sat on the roof).
