A highlight of my recent trip to Oman was without a doubt exploring Oman’s remarkable, yet little-visited province of Dhofar. A refreshing retreat with picturesque palm-fringed beaches, and home to one of the most remarkable deserts in the region, The Empty Quarter, Dhofar offers many riches. And not only does it make the perfect destination for a first or second time visit to Oman, or a beach holiday in itself, but also combines extremely well with some time in the north.
