It is increasingly perceived as a high-end cultural destination with the new Opera House and luxury spas in hotels in Muscat and Salalah. Eco-luxe tents are growing in popularity for adventure tours and boutique hotels are opening in the uninhabited historic villages. New sections in this edition include advice on property buying. With advice on cultural etiquette as well as practical information this fully updated edition is the essential guide.
