I'm just back from a 10-days tour in Oman: Muscat, Nakhal, Jebel Akhdar, Nizwa and sorroundings, Jebel Shams, Sinaw and Ibra, Wahiba Sands, Wadi Bani Khalid, Sur, Muscat again, 2.days mini-tour in Musandam.
Fantastic experience. Maybe I've seen more spectacular countries in this area (North Africa & MIddle East), but Omani people's hospitality is unequalled.
This is the link to my photo album:

And this is a link to a trip report in ITALIAN:

If anyone is interested, I can try to make a reduction, and translate it into English.
