Oman Geology Tours

Why is Oman considered a geologists’ paradise?

• The Sultanate offers the world’s best-exposed sections of Earth’s mantle, making it a living laboratory for understanding our planet’s formation.
• For the amateur geologist, the Oman mountains offer a great opportunity to explore many of the geological wonders of the world in a place where the rocks are exposed, not hidden beneath soil or vegetation.
• The Sultanate of Oman displays an outstanding array of Geo-heritage phenomena, many of which are world-class. Here you can touch the “Moho” which separates the Crust and the Mantle. Dinosaur bones have been discovered close to Nizwa, and Al Khoud. The world’s largest cave exists in the hills near Tiwi. A trip to the desert reveals a dome of salts that have brought rocks over 600 million years old to the surface.
• Even the most casual visitors to Oman cannot fail to be impressed by the Sultante mountains. They form the beautiful backdrop to the capital area and plunge down to the sea to form the rugged coastline. It’s recognized worldwide that Oman has a geological heritage so unique and accessible that is almost unrivaled anywhere on Earth. It would possibly take a lifetime wandering around the world to observe all the geological features which can be found in Oman.
• These features play an important role in promoting sustainable appreciation of geology and landforms as well as providing a dramatic environment for other tourism experiences.
