While the UAE is pumping its wealth into modernisation and high-rise buildings, Oman uses its wealth to preserve its culture and traditions. Its a really nice country to visit and if you respect their values and culture you will have a great time there. Everyone is welcome.

The actual Emiratis do preserve their traditions (cuisine, calligraphy etc). They just don't feel the need to demand foreigners adopt all of it.
