Â
Located on the Arabian Peninsula and home to coastlines that seem to go on forever, Oman is a wonderful place to visit during the month of Best Places to Travel in December. Temperatures at this time of year should be in the mid-seventies, which may not be as warm as some destinations but it’s certainly warm enough to take the chill away from your bones.
If you head to Muscat, you will find an artistic city that is home to a stunningly opera house, wonderful museums and an atmosphere that seems quite different to most other tropical destinations. For example, these tropical surroundings also consist of banana and coconut plantations, which are open to the public for visitation.
That being said Oman is all about the beaches, for these iconic stretches are truly out of this world with their golden sands, crystal clear waters, and tranquil blue skies. If you would like to head to a beach that is less busy than some, head to Al Mughsayl Beach. Featuring almost four and a half miles of golden sands and endless clear water, this is one paradise that you won’t be forgetting any time soon!
