Safaga is especially popular among windsurfers, and was the host of the 1993 Red Sea World Windsurfing Championships. DjiboutiDjibouti city is the country's namesake seaside capital city and has an interesting history first establishing itself as a French territory before gaining independence. Due to this past, the city is a mix of Western/European and African influences. SalalahLike a magic carpet spread before the sea, Oman's coastal plain is one of the most fertile areas of Arabia. Famous since antiquity as the source of frankincense, Salalah was already a prosperous town when Marco Polo visited it in the 13th century! Inland rise the forbidding Al-Quarà Mountains, and the desolate "Empty Quarter" of central Saudi Arabia. MuscatSituated on a striking cove on the Gulf of Oman, ringed by striking volcanic mountains and guarded by two ancient Portuguese forts, diminutive Muscat is the capital of the Sultanate of Oman. Its architecture is a picturesque blend of Arab, Indian, African and European styles. Look for the sultan's palace at the water's edge, or visit the important national museum. KhasabKhasab is the regional center of Musandam Governorate in the Sultanate of Oman. It is located very close to the Strait of Hormuz about 60 km away from Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates.
