OMAN AGGRESSOR: General Info
Oman offers pristine reefs, stunning deserts, rugged mountain landscapes, green oases, endless beaches and friendly people. The Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman provide large coral reefs in the deep fjords of Musandam (Gulf of Oman), at Daymaniyat Islands off the coast of Muscat and Hallaniyat Islands off the coast of Mirbat in southern Oman (Arabian Sea) as well as untouched and undiscovered reefs and wrecks.
The sea is full of fascinating life - whale sharks, humpback whales, sperm whales dolphins, manta rays, sharks, sea turtles, mobula, mola mola, moray eels, angelfish, stingrays, king mackerel, tuna, lobster, crayfish, and nudibranchs. More than 1000 different types of fish and shellfish call the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman home. Strict fishing conditions and large marine parks ensure that this valuable treasure is protected.
Getting There, Passports & Visa Documentation:
Oman is located off the south-eastern Arabian Peninsula and bordered by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Most major airlines fly to Oman and Dubai (VAE); Emirates, Oman Air, Qatar Airways, United Airlines, Delta, Lufthansa, Swiss and British Airways. An overnight stay is usually required and highly recommended due to airline schedules. Guests will need to fly to the following airports the day before departure:
Muscat International Airport (MCT)

Dubai (VAE)
Recommended host hotels are Sifawy Boutique Hotel (Jebel Sifah Marina), Juweira Boutique Hotel (Salalah Beach Marina) and Atana Khasab (Khasab Port).
Visitors must have a current passport, adequate funds to support themselves, and a return airline ticket. Visitors require a passport that must be valid for 6 months from date of entry. It is the travelers’ responsibility to ensure they have the proper visa to travel into each country on his or her itinerary as well as for re-entry and return to their country.
