Another great reason for natural lovers to visit Oman is that Omani people respect nature. In other words, they build natural habitats, apply laws and rules, and punish those who harm or destroy the natural world. That’s why visitors can enjoy seeing animals, birds and plants all around them, and not just from behind glass or inside cages.

Salalah is a city located in the southern part of Oman, in Dhofar’s region, and it is one of the most beautiful natural havens on Earth.
