Oman is fast becoming one of the more progressive countries in Asia, both politically and culturally. Grab a cheap flight to Oman and stay for a while in one of the world’s year-round tourist destinations.
Bordering the United Arab Emirates and Yemen, Oman is blessed with year-round sun and travel-friendly weather. Most flights to Oman travel through Dubai, but the capital city of Muscat is a haven for the weary traveler. A small town with immense hospitality, Muscat has much to offer. Take a stroll through the souk at Muttrah and practice your negotiation skills with the locals.
So what’s so progressive about a small town with a great street market? As a whole, Oman is forcing itself to higher grounds. In 1997, Omani women were given the right to vote and run for office. In 2002, the same right was extended to all voters above the age of 21. To date, several women have been elected to the council and women serve as government ministers for Tourism, Higher Education and Social Development. Though areas of Oman are still humbled by a previous way of life, the more ambitious strides put forth by the Sultan of Oman keep this country moving forward at a rapid pace.
