Oman is a magical country straight out of the Thousand and One Nights. Striking mountains, spectacular waterfalls, unique deserts and dunes, lush oases and 2,000 km of coastline make it a sought-after destination for travellers.
Why Travellers Choose Oman
Tours to Oman have grown steadily more popular in recent years. There are several reasons for this:
- Straightforward visa process — simply visit the Royal Oman Police website, fill in the form, pay the fee and receive your permit;
- Pleasant weather, especially in the autumn and winter months;
- The national character of the East and a huge wealth of cultural heritage;
- A unique natural landscape and a wide variety of things to do.
In the sultanate, you can spend a night out in the desert at a comfortable campsite or a traditional Bedouin camp, join a jeep safari or head for a swim in the warm sea along one of the coastlines, spot dolphins, turtles and whales, visit forts, fortresses and caves, or enjoy a luxurious stay at a five-star hotel.
Weather and Climate in Oman
The tropical climate brings hot summers and mild winters. Sandstorms are common on summer evenings. The best time to visit Oman is therefore from September to April, although the mountain regions are lovely in summer too.
Oman and Its Resorts
The sultanate places great emphasis on protecting the environment, so Oman's natural riches impress with their sheer variety and beauty. When planning your holiday, it's well worth including the following cities and resorts in your itinerary:
- Muscat — the capital of the sultanate. Besides the famous Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the city is known for its cleanliness, beautiful parks and several sandy beaches;
- Salalah sits among banana and coconut plantations in the south of the country. Favourable weather all year round, thanks to the monsoon, makes Salalah a welcome escape from the heat. Here you'll find the ruins of the Queen of Sheba's palace and the tomb traditionally associated with the Prophet Job;
- Taqa — a coastal village well suited to family holidays with children. Its location near Salalah makes it easy to visit historical and cultural sites nearby.
