Oman






Oman's capital, Muscat, was settled about 5,000 years ago. That is the stone age. This is one old city! Of course, given the location, why wouldn't it have been settled? It's right on the coast which provides not only beauty (which might be reason enough to choose to live there) but also a key trade point.Of course, there's more to Oman than gorgeous sunset beaches. Oman is about the size of New Mexico, which means there's some interior to this Sultanate.

Who's ready to go send a postcard?
