Tour operator DialAFlight is offering some great five-star deals to Oman, available for selected departures from August until October. Nature-lovers should take the opportunity to spot turtles in August, which migrate to Oman’s shores from the Red Sea and East African coast, while culture-vultures should experience the Muslim holiday of Eid Al-Fitr on 8 August, which marks the end of Ramadan. It’s celebrated across the country and is a spectacle not to be missed! The second of the two Eid festivals, Eid Al-Adha or ‘The Feast of Sacrifice’ takes place on 15 October.

Nestled along the curved coastline of the Arabian Sea, the mystical Sultanate of Oman is part of the United Arab Emirates and offers a refreshing, relaxing alternative to its busier, brasher neighbour Dubai. A hidden gem in the heart of Arabia, this luxuriously chilled-out country is a playground for those wanting to enjoy a unique escape to the sun this summer, boasting fabulous golf-courses, a fascinating culture and history, a stimulating capital city, welcoming Omani hospitality and beautiful beaches which extend the entire length of the country to the Indian Ocean.
