Why go

Oman shows the calmer, more traditional side of Arabia: forts and souqs, mountain villages, desert dunes and turquoise wadis. It is ideal for travellers who want nature and authenticity along with good beach hotels.

Best time to go

The best time is from October to April, when days are warm and nights cool in the desert. Summer is very hot on the coast.

Highlights

  1. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat

  2. The Muttrah Corniche and souq

  3. The fort and market of Nizwa

  4. A night in a desert camp in the Wahiba Sands

  5. Swimming in Wadi Shab and a dhow cruise in the fjords of Musandam

Good to know

  • The currency is the Omani rial, one of the most valuable currencies in the world.
  • Dress modestly; the Grand Mosque is open to non-Muslim visitors in the mornings, except on Fridays.
  • Distances are long, so a tour with a driver is the easiest way to see the country.
