Indagare's Ried Stelly
"Oman is all about dramatic landscapes, as you have high mountains, vast desert plains and serene coastline at the edge of the gulf."
Surrounded by the United Arab Emirates, this exclave of Oman in the Musandam Peninsula features dramatic landscape of craggy mountains at the edge of the gulf. Oman’s capital, Muscat, is a five-hour drive south, with a huge section of the UAE in between. While much of the Musandam Peninsula remains undeveloped, eco-luxury brand Six Senses built a nature-lover’s retreat here, just a two-hour drive from the Dubai International airport.

The perfect way to finish your journey in Oman is at Six Senses Zigy Bay. The resort is surrounded by steep jagged mountains and there is a pristine beach.
