The Oman Odyssey book features over 200 images by photographer Oliver Pilcher, capturing the Sultanate of Oman's diverse landscapes, from fjords and rose fields to turquoise coastlines. Written by Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter, the text explores the country's ancient trade history, frankincense heritage, and the interplay between traditional customs and contemporary design. Its hardcover format is presented in a red binding, consistent with Assouline's travel series aesthetic.
Part of Assouline’s coveted travel series, 'Oman Odyssey' opens the doors to an extraordinary land of contrasts. A haven of peace framed by the United Arab Emirates, Saudi, and Yemen, the Sultanate of Oman abounds in lush landscapes — fjords, forts, fields of roses, and turquoise seas. Enchanting architecture brushes up beside modern design, and old traditions meet progressive visions for the future. The oldest independent state in the Arab world, Oman’s unique geography, placed at a crossroads between continents, has created a spirit of openness and cultural exchange for centuries. Once at the heart of ancient trade routes for its frankincense, Oliver Pilcher captures a country that today is both tranquil and intoxicating in over 200 images, with enriching words by author Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter.
