What the classifiers highlight
Oman's first Mandarin Oriental opened in June 2024 in Shatti Al Qurum, a white façade steps from the Gulf of Oman where the city meets the beach. Rooms draw on local heritage, headboards patterned after traditional textiles and soft pink paintings referencing the rose harvest. Forbes notes trips the concierge arranges to Oman's Grand Canyon and the ancient Nizwa Fort.
