Oman

Oman joins hospitality, maritime craft, water engineering, mountain landscapes, built heritage, and desert conservation through acts of receiving and restraint.

A freely offered cup of coffee teaches Cappy how Oman welcomes a guest. From there, a sweet-smelling frankincense tree, a hand-built dhow, an irrigation channel, a mountain pool, a vast canyon, old forts, nesting turtles, and a rare desert antelope show him different kinds of care. The country’s driest scenic route leads not to another mistake but to a quiet wildlife encounter the easy road could never provide.
