I have just returned from a trip to Oman with a gaggle of 100 journalists from the British Guild of Travel Writers. All the participants I spoke to seemed delighted by this beautiful country with its gentle people, a world away from the brash consumerism of near-neighbour Dubai.
At a time when many countries in this part of the world seem explosive to say the least, Oman's people appear genuinely happy with, and even devoted, to their Sultan. We toured deserted wadis (dry river beds) and historic forts before relaxing in the sublime spa of the Chedi, one of the Leading Hotels of the World.
