A lot of people living in the Gulf keep Oman on their list for years and then finally go, and the first reaction is usually the same that why they did not come earlier.

Oman is one of those places which feels very close to UAE but at the same time very different. The pace is slow, the nature is green in some parts and the people are very welcoming.

Dubai is known for doing everything on a big scale, and New Year's Eve is no different. Every year lakhs of people come to Downtown Dubai just to see the fireworks on Burj Khalifa at midnight.
