Maverick Guide to Oman FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Omani government has taken cautious steps to promote tourism and to attract tourists more interested in culture and heritage than lounging beside a hotel pool. Natural wonders abound. Gorges, caves, sink holes, hot springs, wadis (Arabic for rivers or river beds), and more than 1,000 miles of coastline practically beg to be explored. The Omani people, known for their austerity and sincerity, frequently invite tourists to have khawa (Omani coffee) and dates with them. 30 maps, 12 color photos, 25 b&w illustrations.
