Highlights include Muscat, the Wahiba Sands desert, the wadis and forts of the interior, Nizwa's market, and the fjords of Musandam.

The currency is the Omani rial (OMR). Arabic; English is widely spoken. On our Oman tours we arrange your transport, guides and accommodation, and can advise on visas and the best route for your interests. Carry a little local cash for markets and tips, pack for the season, and travel with an open mind.

Oman occupies the south-eastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula, with mountains, the Wahiba Sands desert, the Musandam fjords and a long Indian Ocean coast.

Oman has its own seasonal rhythm, and choosing the right time of year makes a real difference to your trip.

The best time to visit Oman is October to April, when temperatures are pleasant. Summers are extremely hot, though the southern Dhofar region enjoys a green monsoon (khareef) around July to September.

Many nationalities need an e-visa or receive visa-free entry for short stays; confirm the current requirement before travel. Rules change from time to time, so always confirm the current requirement for your own passport before booking. If you travel with us, we will guide you through exactly what you need.

A little courtesy goes a long way in Oman. Dress modestly (covering shoulders and knees), remove shoes at mosques, ask before photographing people, and respect Islamic customs.

Do respect local traditions, carry small change for tips and markets, and stay hydrated. Don't drink tap water unless it is confirmed safe, flash valuables in crowded areas, or over-pack your schedule — the best trips here are unhurried ones.
