Oman Odyssey

Assouline's coffee-table book "Oman Odyssey" takes readers on an unforgettable journey. In the book, readers discover unmissable sights in the Gulf state through Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, a noted art historian and curator of exhibitions.

The Sultanate of Oman, a land of incredible contrasts where the royal Sea of Oman meets the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean, sits proudly at the crossroads of continents. Oman has a rich maritime history and is known for its openness and connection to the world, which has existed since the country became at the heart of ancient trade routes thanks to its precious incense. Through the lens of photographer Oliver Pilcher, this new title explores the country's vibrant history, unique culture and dramatic landscapes. In Oman, these three elements can be experienced in one location, such as the Jebel Akhdar Mountains or the coastal city of Sur.

Bordering Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Oman remains determined to preserve its history. Whether it's the strict building codes that ensure traditional aesthetics are preserved, or the more than five hundred forts and watchtowers that are carefully protected, Oman offers a journey back in time, complete with contemporary comforts. Combining timeless elegance with raw natural beauty, Oman Odyssey captures the essence of a land where living traditions and modern grace meet, offering a rare glimpse into one of the most extraordinary corners of the world.
