The seaside areas are far friendlier than the bleak interior. Nestled between the sea and the highlands is Oman’s verdant northern shore. Together with the Dhofar region in the south of the country, this lush, fertile region is well-known for its fruit, including grapes. Muscat, the capital, is located on the northern shore. With a blend of modern and ancient architecture, the city functions as a port and a commercial hub while offering a commanding view of the Gulf of Oman.
