Perhaps a
surprising choice for No. 1 on this list is Oman, a relatively little-known
country on the Arabian Peninsula. Oman splits its attractions between cities,
where ancient and stunning mosques invite tourists to visit, and the Wahiba
Sands area, a sand dunes region.
Tourism from
the West is increasing in Oman, which made significant efforts to modernize in
the first decade of this century. Travelers can expect a modern, bustling
destination and people who will go out of their way to embrace outsiders.
Indeed, 87 percent of expats describe the locals specifically as “welcoming.”
